Man allegedly punched daughter, told son to strip naked and go to ground floor of HDB block
The man cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the identities of the two children.
A 40-year-old man was charged on August 6 after allegedly assaulting his young children, according to prosecutors. The allegations, which will be mentioned again on August 13, allege two counts of ill-treating a child. The man, who cannot be named due to a gag order, faced court in Singapore.
On September 8, 2025, the father was said to have been in a flat on the eighth floor around 8:40 am. In that court document, the man allegedly instructed his 10-year-old son to disrobe and take a lift to the ground floor of their HDB block. It is unclear if the boy chose to obey his father's command.
Three weeks later, on October 3, 2025, at Changi Airport Terminal 3 shortly before 6 pm, the man is accused of slapping, punching, and pushing his eight-year-old daughter. The court records do not specify the reasons behind the alleged abuse. The injuries inflicted on the daughter were reported to have affected her face and neck.
