Maid who kicked child: Video confirmed linked to 2007 case, says Malaysian Police
The Malaysian Police has confirmed that the video of the maid who abused a toddler is in fact linked to a 2007 case in Malaysia.
Last week on April 2, a STOMPer sent in the video which he came across online, showing the maid kicking, dragging and stomping on a crying child.
Kuala Lumpur CID Chief Senior Assistant Commissioner II Ku Chin Wah has confirmed that the video is linked to a case in Kuala Lumpur reported in the news in November 2007, involving a consultant programmer and his then 18-year-old domestic helper.
According to the news report, the employer became suspicious when his three-year-old daughter repeatedly complained of stomach pains, and decided to install a web cam in his living room.
When he returned home from work, he was shocked to discover his Indonesian maid shoving, kicking and stomping on the child.
The maid was sentenced to two years' jail for assaulting the child.
But regardless of where the case took place, the video still highlighted the possible pitfalls of hiring domestic help and the need to take precautions, like installing spycams, to prevent similar incidents from happening.
