CAMERAS captured the sickening moment a twisted maid plunged a toddler’s arm into boiling water in an apparent bid to be allowed to return to her home country.
The 16-month-old child suffered horrific burns after she and her eight-year-old sister were left alone with the “carer” while her parents were at work.
The father, who lives in Singapore, then received a call from the eldest girl telling him the toddler had been badly hurt.
The tot was taken to hospital where a doctor told her parents she had suffered second-degree burns and that he had “some doubts” about the cause.
Reports claim the parents then quizzed the 30-year-old maid – from Myanmar – who initially insisted the girl had accidentally touched a hot cooking pot.
However she then admitted friends had told her to hurt the girl so she could be allowed to return home, according to reports.
She then packed her bags and insisted on leaving the house immediately.
Reports state the woman’s employment agency agreed to take her back and return the money the family paid to cover the housekeeper’s loan.
Also known as a placement fee, the loan covers the pre-employment expenses the maid owes to the agency during the first months of employment.
It is typically deducted from the first salary payments.
