Two women remanded over alleged child mistreatment at Pahang nurseries

Two women have been remanded for six days to aid investigations into alleged child mistreatment at nurseries in Pahang, Malaysia. The two nursery staff, aged 31 and 26, were held until September 12 following police applications at Kuantan and Temerloh Magistrates' Courts. The 31-year-old was detained to investigate allegations of mistreating a two-year-old boy at a nursery in Bukit Setongkol, while the 26-year-old was held over accusations of mistreating a two-year-old girl at a nursery in Temerloh.

Police were alerted to the potential abuse after a video surfaced showing a toddler being scolded, having his hair pulled, and his head shaken at the Bukit Setongkol nursery. The video went viral on social media, garnering public attention.
