The Intermediate Court on Thursday sentenced an Indonesian maid to a year’s jail for physically abusing a four-year-old child.
Sriyani, 42, pleaded guilty on June 22 to the charge of assaulting her employer’s son, who was also living with autism.
On handing the sentence yesterday, Judge Pengiran Masni binti Pengiran Haji Bahar said that her decision reflects the seriousness of the offence and to mirror zero tolerance of any sort of child abuse, nevermind one living with autism.
