Duo remanded over alleged child mistreatment at Pahang nurseries
The two women have been remanded until Sept 12 to assist investigations into alleged mistreatment at childcare centres in Kuantan and Temerloh.
Two women have been detained for six days to aid investigations into allegations of child abuse at childcare facilities in Kuantan and Temerloh, Malaysia. The 31-year-old and 26-year-old nursery staff were remanded until September 12 following court applications in Kuantan and Temerloh, respectively. The younger woman was detained to assist in the probe into a two-year-old boy allegedly mistreated at a nursery in Bukit Setongkol, while the older woman was detained to help with the investigation into a two-year-old girl allegedly abused by a nanny in Temerloh.
Police received reports of the incidents after viewing a viral video showing the toddler being scolded and physically disciplined at the Kuantan nursery, and another video of the alleged mistreatment at the Temerloh nursery, which was shared widely on social media.
