KUALA LUMPUR: Several children were abused and beaten while girls are believed to have been sexually-abused in an unregistered home in Puchong, MIC Youth secretary C. Sivarraajh claimed.
He said the goings-on at the home came to light after some of the children complained to their school teacher.
“MIC Youth and Selangor welfare department officials went to the home to investigate after a police report was lodged by the school's Parent-Teacher Association,” he said.
Sivarraajh said they took away the children from the home but had to send them back after the children's parents made a counter report that their children were well looked after by the home's 60-year-old administrator.
The Selangor welfare department is still investigating the complaints.
Sivarraajh said there were 2,261 welfare and day-care homes set up between 2001 and 2010 by the private sector and non-governmental organisations but only 441 were registered with the Welfare Department.
He said MIC Youth would form a special unit under the social and welfare bureau to monitor such homes in their respective states.
