“It is the responsibility of centre operators to monitor the staff to ensure that the children are safe. If there is negligence on the part of the staff that results in injury to the child, immediate action should be taken by reporting the matter to the department and the police,” it said. According to the ministry, the department will work with the police to ensure that the victims get proper justice.
The ministry also requests the co-operation of all parties, especially parents, to report any issues relating to child abuse to the police. – Bernama, April 8, 2023.
