The principal of a nursery linked to the death of a four-year-old child will be charged at the Magistrate’s Court today under Section 33(1)(A) of the Child Act 2001.
According to Bernama, Ipoh district police chief Yahaya Hassan said the 58-year-old woman was arrested yesterday.
Earlier, a video went viral on social media of the child's parents walking barefoot while holding a banner, attracting the attention of netizens when they announced that they were doing so to demand justice for their child's death last April.
The child’s parents walked from Bandar Baru Sri Klebang to the Ipoh police district headquarters carrying a banner stating “Justice For Thanes”.
The victim’s mother, D Nilaveni, 40, alleged that the nursery was negligent while they looked after her child on the first day the victim was sent there.
The child reportedly fell into a swimming pool located near the premises before dying six days later.
On allegations that police were dragging their feet on the case, Yahaya dismissed it outright.
“We found a 30-second video on Facebook containing the allegation today.
"We take a serious view of the baseless allegations and the spread of false information through social media by the owner of the Facebook account," he said. - Mkini
