A Vietnamese domestic helper was arrested yesterday for slapping a one-year-old toddler, Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Choi Ian Fai said during a regular press conference yesterday in Zape.
According to Choi, the suspect is a 35-year-old Vietnamese woman surnamed Nguyen, who has been working for a local family in Areia Preta since 2016. She was responsible for looking after the family’s one-year-old toddler, and a two-year-old child.
Choi said that on Monday morning the children’s father was informed by one of the doormen in the building that one of his boys had been hit by the maid in the lift on Sunday afternoon. Checking the lift’s CCTV footage, the father saw Nguyen hitting his younger child on the head. The father called then the police.
