SINGAPORE: The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) has barred a woman accused of abusing three babies from working in any preschool, as well as taken action against the preschool’s principal and two other staff members.
This comes after the alleged abuser, a 36-year-old Singaporean, was charged on Thursday with three counts of ill-treating babies aged between eight and 12 months at the time.
The former preschool teacher is accused of force-feeding a 12-month-old girl until she vomited, stuffing a bib in an eight-month-old child’s mouth and putting a blanket over the child’s face, as well as dropping a bumper chair that a 10-month-old child was sitting in.
A gag order, which also covers the incident location, was issued by the court to protect the identities of the victims.
