Action can be taken against mum

PETALING JAYA: Stern action under Section 33 of the Child Act should be considered against the mother of the two abused children rescued from a condominium in Taman Cahaya, Ampang, recently, legal experts say.

Section 33 of the Child Act covers the offence of a parent or guardian leaving a child without reasonable supervision, or for an unreasonable period, or under unreasonable conditions, which is punishable by a fine of up to RM20,000, or jail of up to five years, or both.
