A 36-year-old woman has reported her maid to police for allegedly bathing her two children with cold water in Chai Wan on Tuesday.
The woman surnamed Lui, found her 31-year-old domestic worker planning to bath her daughter, aged 4, and one-year-old son at 9am in a flat in Bayview Park on Hong Man Street in Chai Wan, Headline Daily reported.
However, the mother discovered that the maid only had cold water in the bathtub and had not added any warmer water.
Hong Kong has been suffering a cold snap recently and temperatures in urban areas dropped to 8 degrees Celsius on Tuesday morning.
The woman reported the case to police as she suspected that the domestic worker, whose nationality was not disclosed, had “abused” her two children.
After an initial investigation, officers found that the woman was in a dispute with the domestic worker over her employment contract, Oriental Daily reported.
But police found the two children did not touch any cold water. Officers believed that the case was not child abuse and classed it as a dispute. No one was arrested.
It was understood that the employer contacted the employment agency after the incident and terminated the maid’s contract.

This employer was so insane and idiotic….
The employer trying to find a way to terminate her helper without paying!.what a cunning way of thinking..some employers have throwing accusations to their helpers in order not to pay the helpers right for being terminated…
Thanks Hongkong government for your fair treatment to both employers and helpers..Salute
Overreacted employer…Too pessimistic too…
Why not tell the truth what kind of nationality the helper is..stupid employers just pretending just a case against the helper but luckily the police dont believe and children tell the truth..fights back helper against ur stupid and no brain employer..justice is a must..
grabe ka OA na employer to the max, the helper is not crazy to bathe your children with cold water, eh hindi pa nga lng cguro na lagyan ng hot water nag react na agad, tapos police agad, don’t hire helpers if you don’t trust them, you take care of your children.
Pakshet tlaga
Maybe she just making alibi to terminate the employee.or don’t have money to pay her.
we helpers are even smarter than they does!
exactly!lots of cases.dont hire helpers if u dont trust other people.
over acting!!u dscovered !means not bath yet?this are the nature of chinese hongkong people.they will find means to reverse what exactly has happened!
To this crazy employer! First of all, most of us , HELPERS, doesn’t use cold water during winter season UNLESS you switched off your heater to save electricity! If a lot of this crazy employer who belittle their helpers will show up in HK, we might ask the government to ban sending more helpers in HK just like what happened to Kuwait.. these employers thinks highly of themselves didn’t even realize they won’t be able to earn more money without us looking after their kids! Pakshet!
as always happened,if the employer had a simple misunderstanding with.the helper they will make/create a lie.story to put the blame to the helper…luckily,hongkong gov’t has an ear and eyes to.know the truth first before judge …..hope each employer should realize that if they don’t like thier helper just let her go…
crazy employer. shame on you
That’s why I have BIG respect in Hong Kong police You cannot fool them .????
So stupid employer! Nag hahanap talaga ng butas Ang mga among masama Ang ugali!!!! Kahit ano nlng ibentang sa mga katulong!!!! Tsk tsk tsk!!!! Hindi namn lahat ng mga insik….
Over reacted grabeee.nyeta ang aarte tlga
TRUTH always PREVAIL….mostly EMPLOYERS over reacted with their report about their maids, added that they cannot accept how they treat well or treat like human their HELPERS, yet we HELPERS do our JOB/RESPONSIBILITIES as HELPERS/NANNY to their CHILDRENS, some EMPLOYERS putting video cams, cannot provide own rooms with their helpers, we eat what they give, sometimes send helpers to their mothers home to clean do household chorse though it was dangerous or illigal but we dont have choices sometimes, We helpers accept it bec we need works, we dont like to break/terminate our contract as long we still can work…….yet we have different experience but mostly thats the main problems of HELPERS, so to all my co fellow workers, just be remain HONEST with your WORK/EMPLOYERS, HK LAW is LAW it was really FAIR……GOD always with us ????
This. Is how crazy employers terminate a helper and get away of not paying a one month in liue of notice
Pretend to file a case.. Or accuse. A helper of stealing.. Luckily the police didnt believe her child abuse story. The helper must complain back
