SINGAPORE: While feeding an old woman with severe stage memory, a domestic help assaulted the defenseless 85-year-old. & nbsp,
Indonesian Indah Nur Wahyuni admitted guilt to one count of intentionally hurting a vulnerable adult and was jailed for 12 weeks on Tuesday( Sep 12 ). She was considered for punishment on another fee of a related nature. & nbsp,
In February 2008, the victim was given an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and in October 2022, it was determined that she had extreme stage dementia. She doesn’t communicate and is totally reliant on her child. & nbsp,
In January 2023, the defendant’s child hired Indah, 35, to take care of her. The companion had recently received instruction on how to take care of the young and old children from her maid agency.
The firm noticed her mother’s side had bruises on March 8 of this year. Indah, who denied assaulting the survivor, was confronted by the woman. & nbsp,
Indah acknowledged hitting the defendant’s hand after the company promised to send her family for a medical examination. The victim’s wounds should then be treated with ointment, the company instructed Indah. & nbsp,
Indah’s theories and the closed-circuit television footage left the company frustrated. According to the trial, she was” traumatized” by what she saw.
In the courtroom, CCTV footage from March 6 of this year showed Indah feeding the target in the apartment’s home. & nbsp,
As the old woman sits motionless and silently over the dinner table for about 10 moments, Indah is seen roughhousing the victim. & nbsp,
The victim’s head is seen being pushed downward and backward by the assistant, who is also seen shaking her bicep, hitting her back, and pushing a warm cup toward her face. Additionally, Indah violently shakes the person’s hand, raises her head, and strikes her hands. The victim just attempts to strike Indah in the remaining arm or thigh area again, but the accused instead grabs the victim’s right hand and strikes the other hand. & nbsp,
The sufferer may occasionally be heard making rambling noises of discomfort due to the rough handling. & nbsp,
Additionally, Indah was seen pushing the defendant’s forehead with her right hand in CCTV footage from March 7 of this year. & nbsp,
The firm immediately contacted Indah’s realtor after viewing the video and sent a copy of it over. Assistant Public Prosecutor Lydia Goh informed the court that she told the representative she no longer wanted to hire Indah. & nbsp,
Indah was returned to the company by the agent on March 9, and her company filed a police report. & nbsp,
The victim’s left side was bruised when she was brought in for a clinical examination. & nbsp,
On August 29, Indah was detained and admitted to the behaviors seen on film. & nbsp,
Furthermore, the accused was aware that the victim is a vulnerable person because she was able to speak or defend herself from mistreatment at that crucial moment, according to Ms. Goh.
The accused added that her company treated her well and that she didn’t give any explanation for why she assaulted the target during the course of the investigation.
Indah had nothing to say when asked for her prevention. & nbsp,
The victim, according to District Judge Prem Raj, was helpless and had been a” great 50 years older” than the accused. & nbsp,
The prosecutor noted that the sufferer was completely dependent on her daughter for her care at the time of the offenses and diaper-dependent. & nbsp,
He continued,” The case involved a” clear breach of trust.” & nbsp,
The judge ruled that private helpers who mistreat their charges may be subject to the same harsh punishments that the law” had come down hard” on those who do so. & nbsp,
The prosecutor also considered Indah’s initial admission of guilt. & nbsp,
I must admit that I would have imposed a higher sentence if it weren’t for her first admission of guilt, he said.
