The police say a 27-year-old Filipina domestic
helper arrested on Friday night for alleged child abuse is still being held for
questioning.
A police spokeswoman said it’s still uncertain
if the helper will be charged in court, released unconditionally, or allowed
police bail while investigations continue.
Reports earlier said the Filipina was arrested
after complaints that she had injured a one-year-old baby with toy blocks in
Shing Yam House, On Yam Estate in Kwai Chung.
A complaint was made to the police at 7:18pm
on Friday after relatives found the baby with an injured leg.
The baby was taken to Princess Margaret
Hospital for treatment, though the extent of the injury was not clear.
After conducting preliminary investigations,
police arrested the helper for ill-treatment or neglect towards a young child.
The investigation is continuing.
