Two women have been remanded over allegations of mistreating toddlers at nurseries in Pahang, Malaysia. According to Pahang acting police chief Datuk Azry Akmar Ayob, a 31-year-old woman employed at a childcare centre was detained by a team from the Kuantan police headquarters after a viral video showed her scolding, pulling the hair, and shaking the head of a 2-year-old boy.
The woman has been remanded until September 12. Meanwhile, in Temerloh, a 26-year-old woman was arrested after her 2-year-old daughter was allegedly mistreated by a nursery caretaker. The suspect's mother reported the incident on September 5, and she too will be remanded until September 12. Both cases are being investigated under Section 31(1) of the Child Act 2001, which can result in a maximum fine of RM50,000, imprisonment for up to 20 years, or both.
