Father burns and canes daughter
By theAsianparent Singapore Team
Angry at his nine-year-old daughter for lying, a 34-year-old Singaporean man decided to teach her a very painful lesson. He poured boiling water on her and caned her, only stopping after his wife, the girl's stepmother intervened.
The punishment was for stealing at school and then lying to cover it up.
His cruel punishment caused his daugter to be hospitalised for 17 days for burns on her left cheek, waist, right arm and the front of her body. She was hospitalised after her teacher called in the authorities when she was sent to school six days later.
The child also had cane marks on her left upper arm and back.
