SINGAPORE — Frustrated that a one-year-old girl placed under her care at a preschool refused to be fed, an infant-care teacher slapped the child twice and pushed her.

Former infant-care teacher gets 9 months’ jail for pushing 1-year-old, slapping child's face twice at preschool during feeding

On Wednesday , the 40-year-old was sentenced to nine months’ jail after pleading guilty to ill-treatment of a child.Speaking to the media after the court proceedings, the child’s father said while tearing up that he is “glad that this is all over… and my daughter has gotten justice”. Frustrated, she then placed her right leg across the girl’s lower body and her hands to prevent the infant’s hands from moving, before trying to force open the child’s mouth.

The next month, in a medical report dated April 17, a KKH medical officer noted that the girl was in “fair general condition”, with “stable” vital signs and no injuries found on the day of the examination, which was quite a while after the incident had occurred.
