A 28-year-old Filipino domestic worker was arrested in the Shatin area of Hong Kong’s New Territories on Wednesday for allegedly ill-treating a 16-month-old girl.
News website HK01.com reports that at 11pm, a 34-year-old man surnamed Yiu took his daughter to Prince of Wales Hospital as the girl had a head injury.
The father reported to police at the hospital that he suspected the family’s domestic worker of dropping the girl to the ground and hurting her head at their flat in Yu Man House, Yu Chui Court.
Police officers from the Shatin Police station subsequently arrested the domestic worker. The case has been classed as ill-treatment or neglect by a person in charge of a child or young person. Further investigations are pending.
According to Oriental Daily, the domestic worker is a Filipina.

Read carefully, it’s says 16 months old, totally 1 year and 4 months, it means still a baby girl. Not 16 yrs.old

Baka nman hindi nya na inform sa amo nya ang insidente at hinayaan pa nyang matuklasan ng amo , importante kc sa mga amo ang honesty. Sana nga me justice dito ke kabayan para malaman ang tooong pangyayare. Wala tyo dun pqra mag jump ng conclusion sa pang yayare.
Nggeeek. 16.months old. Not 16 yrs old!!!
I’m take care the baby when his 5 months old until his 5 years old we should to focus your eyes to the baby cause its a minutes make accident and its your obligation if the something happen.
just try to understand that the baby is so malikot na. at hindi maiwasan ang magkaroon ng galos.
Maybe its just an accident! bakit arrest agad! investigate muna a.
Marahil not intentionally, sino naman tanga ang ibabagsak ang bata. Mga tanga lang ang gagawa nyan

This is the most difficult part in taking care of babies, because at this age most of babies learn to walk and it happens those accident, knock, fall down etc. that it really needs our eyes on them. That on this time we (maids) feel back ache, and one more thing we still need to do house chores, then mployer say u do like this like that etc., and too unfair that if there’s something happened to the babies they blamed the maid, suspected for what and so forth, then at the end they say neglect,, haaay, but still i trust the hk law…✌️
