KUANTAN — Kuantan police have apprehended a woman following a viral video that allegedly depicted the abusive treatment of a two-year-and-eight-month-old toddler at a daycare center in Bukit Setongkol. Police spokesperson ACP Ashari Abu Samah announced the arrest on the morning of September 7, reporting that the department learned of the incident via social media at 10:34 am the previous day. Preliminary investigations suggest the abuse reportedly took place on August 11.
The disturbing video footage displays the toddler being scolded, his hair pulled, and his head shaken by a woman employed at the daycare center. Following the report, police conducted further investigations and detained a 31-year-old woman to aid the probe. A remand application will be submitted tomorrow.
The child was transported to Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital for a medical evaluation, and no serious injuries have been reported at this time. The case is being investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001. Police have urged the public to refrain from speculating or spreading the video or any information that could expose the victim's identity, as the case involves a minor.
