Maid sentenced to 14 months’ jail for repeatedly putting toddler’s hand in boiling water

SINGAPORE: A 30-year-old woman was sentenced to 14 months’ jail on Wednesday for voluntarily hurting a toddler under her care.

The accused had been working for her employers since Dec 8 and her duties included taking care of the two children. After two weeks of working, she told her employers that she wanted to work for another employer as she felt incapable of taking care of the children. The child screamed, but the accused took the hand and placed it in the water at least another time, before running it under tap water.

The victim was found to have second-degree burns on her forearm. Her wounds have fully healed but she will have a burn scar. “The use of a heated substance is an especially cruel way to inflict hurt,” Ms Lim said, pointing out that a second-degree burn could lead to infection and scarring. At the time of the incident, the accused was struggling to pacify the child and finish cooking by a specified time.

She deserves more!
