A Filipina maid was caught on camera assaulting a three-year-old boy, a Sharjah court has heard.
The maid stood trail in the Sharjah Sharia Court of First Instance for allegedly causing the Emirati boy a permanent disability. The maid admitted in court to beating up the child. The boy resides with his family in Sharjah's Karama area.
According to court records, the boy's mother complained to the police about the incident on June 16 this year. She said she returned home from work to see her son crying. He had pain in his leg, which was swollen. When asked, the maid said the boy jumped from a chair.
The mother, however, suspected the maid's account and informed her husband. The couple installed a surveillance camera to monitor the maid. She was caught on camera assaulting the boy.
