For two years, a young boy was beaten and burned with heated objects by his grandaunt and her family for allegedly stealing food and misbehaving.

The horrific abuse, which started in 2009, left the now 12-year-old permanently disfigured.

A district court on Wednesday jailed the former husband of the grandaunt for six months for ill-treating the boy in 2009.

He had pleaded guilty to hitting the boy with a belt. The man, a car park attendant, will start his sentence on Jan 10 as he needed time to collect his salary and transfer it to his wife.

Man jailed for six months for abusing boy
By Leong Wai Kit | Posted: 02 January 2013 1738 hrs

SINGAPORE: A man has been sentenced to six months' jail for abusing a boy left in his care.

The accused, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, used a belt to hit the boy.

The victim was four years old when his grandaunt and family took him in - in 2004, as his mother was in jail.

Between 2009 and 2011, he was abused by the family members - and they have already been dealt with by the law.

The victim was scalded by boiling water, and burnt on the lips with a hot ladle. His fingers had also been cut with scissors.

The man faced three charges of abuse, and lawyers proceeded with one charge.

He will start his jail term on January 10.

A man was jailed yesterday for six months after pleading guilty to one count of child abuse.

The 46-year-old, who works for a courier company, admitted that he had hit Zack (not his real name), now 12, with a belt in a Hougang flat sometime in 2009.

The man was Zack’s fifth and final tormentor to be dealt with.

The man’s ex-wife and their three daughters were dealt with earlier.

The youngest daughter, 15, was given 18 months’ probation while her mother and two sisters were jailed for between 20 months and five years.

Zack could be permanently disfigured by the abuse he received.
