of an infant is no joke as babies require 24 hour care which can leave most people caring for the tiny individual tired and frustrated. Looking after a baby requires the utmost patience and vigilance.
On May 26 2022 at around 5pm, Masita’s boss went to fetch her older daughter from pre-school while she was at home alone with the twin babies. While preparing the victim for bed, Masita’s employer has noticed the bruise shaped like a bite mark on her forearm and that prompted the mother to suspect her maid to have bitten her child and inquired her about it to which Masita had denied initially but eventually admitted it.
He added that the bruise was still visible the to doctors even on the next day. Meanwhile, defence lawyer Kyle Chong asked for two months imprisonment for Masita and the judge asked him to explain the low amount for her prison sentence and the lawyer said that it was a one-off incident which she regrets very much.
“For non-fatal child abuse cases involving physical violence, the court imposed terms of at least six months. Since then, parliament has also seen fit to double the penalty for Children and Young Persons Act cases of this nature,“ he said.
