SINGAPORE — A maid who was hired to care for twin babies bit one of them out of frustration when the toddler would not go to sleep.

A maid who was hired to care for twin babies bit one of them out of frustration when the toddler would not go to sleep.

The court heard that Masita, an Indonesian national, started working for the victim's mother from 2021. The woman suspected that Masita had bitten the victim and questioned her about it. Initially, Masita denied doing so but eventually admitted to her act.The prosecutor said the victim was particularly vulnerable and especially young, and Masita had abused the position of trust she was placed in.

Defence lawyer Kyle Chong asked for two months' jail, and the judge asked him to explain this as it was a low figure."The harm that was inflicted on the victim was a superficial injury. It was a bruise and there was nothing further beyond it," he said.
