The Causes of Child Abuse
After battling for her life for six days, suspected child abuse victim, 14 month old Nurain Damia Mohd Naqudden, die from her injuries yesterday morning. Petaling, Jaya Police chief ACP Azmi Aby Kassim said the toddler succumbed to her injuries at Sungai Buloh Hospital at 8.20 am. He said Nurain Damia has slipped into a comma a day after she was rushed to the hospital and her condition did not improve from that point. Police have remanded and are interrogating the girl’s babysitter over the incident. The babysitter had at first claimed the child suffered a fail while under her care in Flora Damansara on July 7. But, the doctors said injuries on the toddler were not consistent with that of a fail. Azmi said during interrogation the suspect has admitted she had hit the baby girl on her head but only slowly using her hands.
