Police in Hong Kong have taken a 61-year-old grandmother and a 43-year-old domestic helper into custody regarding the suspected mistreatment of an 11-year-old girl. The investigation commenced after social media footage circulated online showing the child pleading for assistance following a domestic dispute. Law enforcement officials were alerted to the situation by the Social Welfare Department. Upon examination, the young victim displayed swelling and redness on her extremities and was subsequently transported to Queen Elizabeth Hospital before being moved to the Hong Kong Children’s Hospital for further medical care. The two suspects were apprehended in the Wong Tai Sin district and remain in police custody as inquiries into the alleged neglect continue.
