Suspected child abuse case in local childcare facility

A suspected instance of child abuse is alleged to have occurred in a local childcare facility, a woman said in the Macau Forum Monday. The woman alleged her two-year-old son’s arm was found to be dislocated after he returned home from childcare on September 13. She alleged her son was abused or mistreated at the center. The head of the center alleged that the child dislocated his own arm when he was sleeping. The woman considered this account to be unreasonable and reported the incident to police. At present, the child’s case has been followed up by the Judiciary Police and the Social Welfare Bureau.
