SINGAPORE – A woman allegedly ill-treated two children at a pre-school on different days in April 2025.

She was charged with two counts of child abuse on March 13.

Court documents stated that the children were under the 58-year-old woman’s “custody, charge or care”, but did not disclose any further information about the woman.

There is a gag order on information about the children, and The Straits Times is not naming the woman as doing so could lead to a disclosure of their identities.

The woman is accused of slapping a five-year-old girl’s head twice on April 8, 2025.

Three days later, the woman allegedly pulled a four-year-old boy’s arms.

Her case will be mentioned again in court on April 10.
