The number of child abuse cases investigated by Child Protective Services has risen five-fold from 2011 to 2021.

New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: About 98 per cent of cases investigated by the Child Protective Service resulted in children staying with their parents or being reunited with them after being removed.

On Monday, Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli said in response to a question from MP Louis Ng that about 2 per cent of cases investigated by the CPS resulted in the child being unable to return home as their family of origin was assessed to be unfit to safely care for the child.

Umaisyah was placed in foster care in November 2011 when she was three to four months old, as her father had been detained in a drug rehabilitation centre and her mother was deemed unable to take care of her.
