A six-month-old infant in Singapore died in hospital on Saturday afternoon after she was found unconscious by her family’s 36-year-old Filipino domestic worker.
The incident happened at an apartment on Hougang Avenue 9, home to a Singaporean couple in their thirties, their two-year-old son, six-month-old daughter, and the Filipina domestic worker, Shin Min Daily News reported.
The newspaper learned that the father and mother and their maid were at home while the baby girl was sleeping alone in the bedroom.
While she worked in the kitchen, the Filipina maid made regular checks on the sleeping infant, and was shocked to find her unresponsive at around 4pm.
The worker immediately alerted her employers, who called the police and accused the maid of negligence.
After conducting a preliminary investigation with the help of the domestic worker, the police found no reason to suspect foul play in the death of the child.
Negligence?? The nerve of this parent to accuse somebody else of negligence when she was an obviously very negligent mother. Just one of those mothers only in name but never take effort in taking care of her own child.
It is so sad that her employers accused her first hand.But it’s good that she is proven innocent.Kudos to the authorities for a job well done for finding the truth.
Cases like this shows how risky our job is.If only the employers knows that nannies are 2xmore careful in taking care of our ward than our own children.????
Both parents were at home. And the maid is accused of negligence. Says a lot about the mother.
Ambal Mahesh yeah..and apart from doing so many other stuff in between checking in on the baby,she was THE ONE who discovered that the baby was in trouble. Bet the mother was at her usual "am paying some1 to take over my responsibilities in this house" mood all that time that she didnt even check on her child.Just disgusting!!!
It’s very wrong of the parents.. even in grief, you should not wrongly accused the maid.
Now that there will be distrust in their relationship? The maid look for a new employer even if the present employers want to keep her.
The typical response of arrogant singaporean..u know the im paying them to do their job kind of reasoning.
the maid still working at 4:am,how disgusting the employer to accused her maid at once.thanks to the authorities the maid without fault,
the flor contemplacion should not be repeated again.
Amalia babaran its 4pm said ,,n0t 4am
Its good that its happens when the parents at their home,,how if they are alone with the maid? Im just imagine that when they arrive the employer,,maybe the will bit the maid with out asking,,i can see like it shown act by accusing the maid while they know that the maid is working while they are relaxing..so stupid employer. .poor maid
Negligence on the part of the parents, not the maid. For goodness sake, but I have seen this before when on holiday in Bali. The parents and grandparent went out all day and locked, yes locked the maid in the room with a toddler all day. It was shameful.
Thanks God , I thought she will be like Flor Contemplacion story again!
