Man gets jail, caning for abusing 6-year-old boy for 18 hours
The 31-year-old man beat his youngest victim with a hanger more than 600 times, forced him to hold a push-up position for hours and made him sleep in the toilet and drink his own urine.
A Singaporean man was jailed for nine years and 10 months and caned eight times after severely abusing multiple young boys in his care. The 31-year-old victimized a six-year-old and two older children, often subjecting them to brutal punishments. He beat the six-year-old with a hanger more than 600 times, made him hold a push-up position for extended periods, and forced him to sleep in the toilet while drinking his own urine.
The boy suffered severe injuries, including rib, lung, and kidney damage, and spent 46 days in the hospital. The judge emphasized the severity of the man's cruelty and condemned any abuse of vulnerable victims. The man, who lacked teaching or childcare qualifications, had also pleaded guilty to making a false declaration about hiring a domestic worker.
Despite expressing remorse, the judge emphasized that the man's personal background did not excuse his actions.
