The parents of a two-year-oldgirl who was enrolled in achildcare centre have made a police report after they were horrified to find their daughter with bruises and cuts on her face.

Mr Eric Tang said his daughter had bruises on her cheeks and nose, cuts on her swollen lips and abrasion marks on her back when he and his wife picked her up from Candyland Infant and Childcare Centre in Ang Mo Kio on Monday. The 39-year-old engineer asked a supervisor there for closed-circuit television footage to find out what happened, but the centre had not installed a CCTV system.

Mr Tang said the supervisor suspected his daughter had been beaten up by a male classmate known to display aggressive behaviour, during nap time.

An hour later, he said he received a call from the same supervisor who changed her tune and suggested instead that his daughter had tripped and fallen on her own.
