Indonesian maid caught on video treating baby roughly, slamming his head into cot
An Indonesian maid was caught on camera slamming a baby's head into his cot.
Stomper JP, who is the boy's mother, shared videos of what she described as child abuse on three occasions. They took place on Sept 23, Sept 29 and Oct 11 between 9.45pm and 5.45am.
"As parents, we trust the people we bring into our homes to care for our children," said the Stomper.
"When we hired the domestic helper, she claimed she loved babies and knew how to care for them.
"We treated her kindly, respected her dietary restrictions, allowed her to use her phone freely, and even brought her on a two-week trip overseas at our expense."
"We trusted her completely."
But that changed after three months.
"We discovered through our CCTV cameras that she had abused our 10-month-old son multiple times when we weren't watching," said the mum.
"Even after a warning, she repeated the abuse. Our baby, too young to speak or defend himself, suffered at the hands of someone we trusted with his safety.
"She sometimes slept in his playpen and neglected her duties while our household and baby's needs were often overlooked."
This deeply affected the Stomper.
"The emotional toll on our family was immense. Nights were sleepless, and every cry sent me into panic," she said.
"Confronting the agency was even more disappointing — instead of accountability, they seemed to protect the helper.
"The law offered little recourse because our child had no visible injuries, the helper was only issued a warning and allowed to work again."
The family was no longer the same.
"This experience has changed our family forever. We are vigilant now, constantly monitoring our child, but the fear, betrayal and heartbreak remain," said the Stomper.
"No baby should suffer like this, and no parent should feel helpless in their own home."
She hopes her story will help others.
"I share our story to raise awareness for other parents, to call for stronger agency accountability and to urge authorities to recognize that abuse is not always visible," said the mother.
"Emotional harm matters. Repeated aggression matters. Children deserve protection, vigilance, and justice.
"Trust your instincts, check carefully, and never compromise when it comes to your child's safety."
