A Filipino domestic worker has been detained in Kuwait following the death of a 1-year-old child in her care. Allegedly, the worker placed the infant inside a washing machine, leading to the child's tragic death.
A Filipino domestic helper was arrested in Kuwait for the death of her child ward after allegedly putting her inside a washing machine. The victim is a 1-year-old Kuwaiti infant. The Filipina allegedly placed the toddler in a washing machine while working at her employer’s home in Sabah Al-Salem. According to a security source, the child’s parents heard his screams, rushed to pull him out of the washing machine, and transported him to Jaber Al-Ahmad Hospital.
Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. In her initial statements, she confessed to committing the act because the child was annoying her. The Philippine Embassy said it is cooperating with Kuwaiti authorities investigating the incident and is also helping the detained Filipino domestic worker, within the framework of Kuwaiti law and in keeping with the Embassy’s mandate. This isolated incident does not reflect the character of Filipinos and the Filipino community in Kuwait, who are recognized for their hard work, reliability, and positive contribution to society. The Department of Migrant Workers on Sunday pledged full support to a Filipino domestic worker involved in the death of a child in Kuwait. In a statement, the DMW assured the public that it is working closely with Kuwaiti authorities to ensure the worker receives legal assistance and due process while respecting the laws of the host country.
