THE mother of a toddler is suing her former nanny for negligence more than a year after her baby daughter became brain damaged and blind in one eye.
The 32-year-old mother is alleging that the nanny had shaken her daughter so vigorously in April last year that the then six-month-old child ended up seriously injured. Although no total amount of damages was stated in the court papers, the suit is filed in the Subordinate Courts which handles civil claims of up to $250,000. The mother is seeking compensation for the baby's medical and special education expenses as well as future nursing care. The child, now aged two, was left in Madam Loo Yoke Oi's care while both parents went to work that day. According to court papers, the mother left the child in Madam Loo's flat in Corporation Road before heading off to work. The child's mother works as a senior sales assistant while her 38-year-old father is a technician.
