Minister for Children Sashi Kiran says the child seen in the video has been attended to by the Department of Children and has received medical attention and care.
Kiran says any form of violence against children is unacceptable.
She is also urging members of the public to report it if they know of a child who is vulnerable, in need of assistance or being abused.
