SINGAPORE — A domestic helper who placed a heated iron steamer on the back of a two-year-old boy was today (Nov 22) sentenced to 15 months’ jail.
The 31-year-old Indonesian maid and victim cannot be named due to a gag order.
<!-- inline -->
The incident happened in August this year at a unit in Woodlands Drive. At that time, the child was staying with his aunt as his parents had been admitted to a drug rehabilitation centre.
The victim, his brother and the maid were alone in the flat.
Court documents state that the boy was crying and asking the maid for biscuits when she burnt him with the hot iron steamer. She then applied ointment on the burn marks and threw away the boy’s singlet to get rid of evidence.
The maid faced another charge of causing hurt by using her mobile phone to hit the boy’s head, pulling his hair and kicking his waist. This was taken into account during sentencing.
In mitigation, the maid told the court her parents, who are in Indonesia, are very old and she has to take care of them. She added that she has to support her two children.
For causing hurt using the hot iron steamer, the maid could have been jailed up to seven years, fined and caned. CHANNEL NEWSASIA

The boy probably deserved it.

 

[borom]

How about the Pinoy from Seagate that insulted all Singaporeans and the Pinay who slapped the old lady at the nursing home-no charges at all.
Wonder if they are from Tacloban

 

[Lizzert]

The boy probably deserved it.

Yup. she was just trying to straighten the boy.

 

[johnny333]

How about the 2 filipinos who mistreated the old at the retirement home

I'm terrified at the prospect of aging in Spore & becoming another statistic in a mistreatment, robbery, assault, murder,......
This is suppose to be my country & home & the PAP are letting in masses of people without even checking their backgrounds:(

 

[greenies]

The boy probably deserved it.

No kid is deserved to be punished, especially he was a 2 yrs old boy.
It is the adult fault, who could not handle properly and not having heart to look after kids.

 

[greenies]

Yup. she was just trying to straighten the boy.

Kids can be disciplined, but not to be punished.
No parent wants to see their kid to be punished.
Kid disciplinary actions are abundant...

 

[meepokboy]

using iron steamer is too extreme and uncalled for. carrying out on a defenceless 2yo kid is even worse. she should be punished more severely.

Who cares about the well-being of Sinkies as long as the PAP cronies can earn some cash?

Every time a work permit is issued, some PAP crony goes 'Huat Ah!'.

so long as money comes in, everything the 'FT' does is fine

she should have a taste of her own medicine.

 

[johnny333]

After thinking about this case I have to wonder why she did it

Is the maid a mental case or was she under duress when she did it The reasons for her actions might be important to prevent future cases.
Knowing our authorities they will simply close the case & ignore the circumstances of the crime

 

[halsey02]

Yup. she was just trying to straighten the boy.

No lah! she was ironing out his indiscipline! if this was the employer who try to straighten or iron her , it would jail time. MOM collects min sum $250 for her existence every month...24 months minimum income is $6,000...very good income, just issue plastic & print papers..

What she had done, nobody will know...she go back home, come back again...another income line, for the court protects her identity...whereas if this was an employer & SINGaporean....the name will be MARKED FOR LIFE.

 

[Agoraphobic]

What did the boy do to deserve such treatment? What can any two year old toddler do to be physically "punished" so harshly? If I were the kid's father or uncle, I'd bloody kick the living shit out of the maid.

Cheers!

The boy probably deserved it.

 

[LowLifeBoyKopiUncle]

The boy probably deserved it.

Your children also DESERVED it.
