Woman charged after she allegedly abused a baby and a toddler under her care

For each count of ill-treating a child, an offender can be jailed for up to eight years, fined up to $8,000 or both.

There have been several recent cases of child abuse.

On Nov 20,

after she allegedly ill-treated three children under her care.

She was working as a pre-school teacher when she allegedly force-fed a one-year-old child until she vomited on Sept 23, 2024.

Two days later, the woman allegedly stuffed a bib into an eight-month-old baby’s mouth and put a blanket over the child’s face.

That day, she also allegedly ill-treated a third child, who was 10 months old, by hitting the child on the right hand.

The woman’s case is pending.

Separately,

after she pleaded guilty to ill-treating a child in July 2024.

She was working as a programme staff at a care service provider for kindergarten children when she flew into a rage and ill-treated three victims aged four and five years old.

Among other things, she grabbed a five-year-old boy’s arm with one hand, pulled him to the side and flung away his chair.

Both women cannot be named due to a gag order.
