Following the viral spread of a video showing an 11-year-old girl asking for help on social media, police have arrested a 61-year-old grandmother and a 43-year-old foreign domestic helper for suspected “ill-treatment or neglect by those in charge of child or young person,” according to reports.

Arrests

This case stemmed from a referral by social welfare authorities suspicious of potential child abuse. The girl was hospitalized after investigators found her limbs swollen and bruised.
