Domestic helper gets jail for punching child, filming obscene videos of kids under her care
A 29-year-old Indonesian domestic helper received a three-year prison sentence on October 30. She repeatedly abused a four-year-old autistic boy, punching him at least 23 times. The woman also sprayed water into the face of the boy's one-year-old brother. Additionally, she filmed obscene videos of three children under her care. These videos were sent to her husband to show how mischievous the children were. The court found the videos were not for sexual gratification, but the prosecution noted they could have been shared with others.
