BUTTERWORTH: The case of a two-year-old boy, who was allegedly abused and suffered a broken right thigh bone while at a childcare centre in Bertam here, has been postponed to next month.
Sessions judge Nor Azah Kasran set Nov 21 for mention of the case pending a forensic report on the child.
The medical report and other relevant documents were submitted during case mention at the court complex here on Tuesday (Oct 22).
A 24-year-old caregiver was charged on Aug 16 under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, which carries a maximum jail term of 20 years, or RM50,000 fine, or both, if convicted.
She was alleged to have caused injuries to the child and fractured his right femur at the centre in Taman Pinggiran on Aug 8.
The victim's father, 31, filed a police report after the doctor confirmed that the victim suffered a non-accidental fracture.
Before that, he received a call from the centre informing him that his child had been injured.
