A screen capture of the video recording that went viral on social media showing the man, believed to be the father of a toddler involved in an alleged child abuse incident in Kota Kinabalu, attacking the babysitter at the nursery.
RECENTLY, a horrific video surfaced showing a woman abusing a four-year-old boy in a classroom setting.
In the video, the woman, a 27-year-old childminder who worked at a nursery in Kota Kinabalu, could be seen slapping and hitting the child multiple times, including with a metal object, and even pulling his hair.
Another video has since gone viral, allegedly showing the father of the boy attacking the childminder in retaliation for the alleged abuse of his son.
Is it true that the man in the video was the boy's father?
Verdict:
TRUE
According to a news report by Malay language portal, SinarHarian.com.my, the newly surfaced 29-second video, which was recorded by a closed circuit television camera (CCTV) at the nursery, shows a man slapping and strangling a woman believed to be the person who abused his son.
The video footage also shows another woman, believed to be the wife of the man involved, trying to break up the fight while at the same time holding their child.
There was also a third woman in the video, believed to be a colleague of the alleged abuser, who also ended up being punched by the father.
Kota Kinabalu Deputy OCPD Superintendent Kalsom Idris confirmed that there were two police reports made by the nursery.
"The suspect (the childminder) and the principal made a police report of the attack and the child's father is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code, no arrests have been made so far," he said.
The Star, on Thursday (Aug 10), reported that a two-minute 12-second clip of the incident went viral online on Wednesday evening (Aug 9).
