Viral video emerges of father confronting kindergarten nanny
KOTA KINABALU - Following the circulation of a disturbing video depicting a child's abuse within a kindergarten, another video has emerged, capturing the child's father confronting a nanny at the same institution.
The 29-second footage, obtained from a closed-circuit television (CCTV), seems to document a continuation of the situation, with the parents reacting strongly after witnessing their child's mistreatment.
The video unveils a man gripping and restraining a woman, believed to be the one responsible for harming his child.
The man's wife, holding their child, tries to intervene and de-escalate the situation.
However, the altercation escalates as the man proceeds to punch another nanny within the kindergarten.
Kota Kinabalu district police deputy chief, Superintendent Kalsom Idris, confirmed that two separate police reports were filed by the kindergarten involved.
"Both the suspected nanny and the headmaster lodged police reports," she said.
The child's father is reportedly being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code, although no arrests have been made at this point.
On Wednesday, Sinar reported on a separate viral 12-second CCTV clip, depicting a woman at the same kindergarten resorting to physical abuse against a child.
The footage, which captured kicking, hair-pulling, shoving, and striking the child's head with a book, incited anger and distress among parents who viewed it.
The repeated acts of violence against the child in the video prompted the mother to express her overwhelming sadness, leading her to tears as she watched the distressing footage.
