“Cheras police confirm that reports of abuse involving two babies, aged six and nine months, have been filed. The case is now being investigated at the contingent level.”
“Three reports have been lodged, leading to the arrest of a 26-year-old woman on Dec 16,” he said on Sunday (28 December).
Abuse of babies caught on CCTV
A mother was left devastated after CCTV footage revealed her six-month-old baby being thrown, rolled, and slapped by a caregiver at a nursery in Taman Desa Petaling.
The footage was shared by the mother via Threads, who alleged that her child and several other infants were physically abused by nursery staff.
“That baby in the middle is my child. My son is only six months old and knows nothing. I waited four years for him, suffered four miscarriages, and carried him for nine months.”
“My heart is shattered seeing him treated this way,” she wrote.
In a follow-up post, the mother confirmed that one suspect had been detained but said she was still waiting for a second arrest.
“One has been caught, but I am still not satisfied because another person has not been apprehended,” she added.
“I am waiting until the end of this week. If there is still no arrest, I will upload the videos one by one.”
She also urged parents to be cautious when sending their children to the nursery in question.
“I am confident that other children have suffered the same fate as my son,” she said.
