KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 28 (Bernama) -- Police have arrested a babysitter suspected of abusing six-to nine-month infants at a childcare centre in Alam Indah, Cheras.
Cheras district police chief ACP Aidil Bolhassan said the 26-year-old local woman was arrested on Dec 16.
“Three reports were filed, and investigations found only one suspect involved,” he said in a statement today.
He said the case is being investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.
Media reports cited that a woman was traumatised after CCTV footage showed her six-month-old being thrown, rolled and slapped by a childcare worker.
The footage sparked public outcry and concern, with allegations that several other infants at the day care centre were also abused.
