SINGAPORE: A series of lapses in the reporting of abuse and follow-up checks contributed to the death of four-year-old Megan Khung, who was physically and emotionally abused for more than a year.
During that period, she was forced to wear soiled diapers over her head, eat food from the dustbin and eat her mother’s mucus. She died in 2020 after a fatal punch to the stomach, and her mother and her then boyfriend burned her body to hide their crime.
