JERTIH, Sept 6 (Bernama) -- Police arrested two babysitters suspected of abusing two siblings, aged one and three, at a nursery in Kampung Raja here.
Besut District Police Chief Supt Abdul Rozak Muhammad said the suspects, aged 26 and 50, were arrested today following a report lodged by the mother of the two children at 7 pm yesterday.
He said the mother found out about the incident and lodged a report after someone told and showed her a video of it.
"Preliminary investigations found that the three-year-old boy had a small swelling on his forehead while his one-year-old sister had a pinch mark," he said in a statement today.
Abdul Rozak said the two suspects, both locals, will be brought to the Besut Magistrate's Court tomorrow for a remand application.
The police are investigating the case under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.
A video believed to be related to the incident went viral on social media this morning.
