SINGAPORE - For months, an 11-year-old girl was ill-treated by her mother and stepfather, who made her eat chilli padi, splashed hot water on her and hit her with a belt to punish her.
Despite signs of internal bleeding, the couple decided against taking the girl to the hospital, and called for an ambulance only on Nov 10. This makes her the first person to be convicted of allowing the death of a child in the same household, which was introduced in 2020 to target those who fail to protect victims from abuse.They cannot be named owing to a gag order. They have a two-year-old son together and two other sons, aged seven and eight, from the woman’s previous relationship.
The assault, which caused the girl to suffer multiple bruises on her arms, buttocks, thighs and legs, lasted for about 20 to 30 minutes. On Sept 29, 2020, two representatives from the girl’s school visited the flat, but the couple did not allow them to enter.
