Video of child abuse goes viral on Facebook

PETALING JAYA: A video showing a woman abusing a toddler is going viral on Facebook and has caught the attention of Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

The video, which runs for about 4 minutes, was posted last Friday on the social networking site and has had more than 22,000 shares. It shows the child lying prone on a mattress and crying as the woman pinches, kicks and beats it with a pillow repeatedly.

The beating continues even as the child seems to have stopped crying.

Another woman, presumably the one shooting the video, keeps telling the abuser, whom she calls Ira, to stop the beating.

“Why are you showing your anger to the child? Do you want to kill her?” says the other woman. The clip was however removed earlier today.

In his Twitter posting, Khairy said he had informed Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein about the video.

Khairy said the abuse was unforgivable and that he felt physically sick watching the video.

“The one who took the video is equally cruel,” he tweeted. “She did nothing to save the toddler. Conspiring to commit a crime.”

In further tweets, Khairy revealed that he was informed by Hishammuddin that it was an old case and that the police had taken action against the woman.

He said that the woman was charged and jailed for 18 months in Petaling Jaya last year.

She should have gotten more then that, that is bull crap! If I was there I woulda stopped it right then and there, that's cruel and stupid. And she should be jailed for life! That's wrong in so many ways, to beat an infant that looks not even a month old yet. That girl deserves way more than what she got. End of story!

She should not be let out from jail - 18 months is nothing for what that baby went through. This is ATTEMPTED MURDER - we are all lucky the baby did not die from head trauma - the baby is shaking at the end unable to even cry and she then hits the baby again. The people who allow such a scum to go free after serving 18 months are just as guilty!!!!! The government does not enforce stronger laws which allows people to walk away with this - you are AS GUILTY AS THE PERSON BEATING THE BABY. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS - anyone who sees this who is abusive towards their children will laugh knowing that you can almost kill your child, get him taken off your hands and all this for a low price of 18 months of jail.
