Police looking into report of woman hitting toddler during TikTok livestream

Singapore police are investigating a report after videos appeared to show a woman hitting a toddler during a TikTok livestream. The footage prompted a social media user to seek help identifying the child’s parents, raising concerns about the toddler’s safety.

The clips showed the woman repeatedly striking the girl on the back and placing her roughly on a mattress while apparently trying to get her to nap. The child replied “no” as the woman told her in Mandarin to sleep. Police confirmed a report was lodged; the livestream’s date and location are unclear, and it is not known whether the woman was a domestic helper.
