Police investigate father abusing young children while teaching them how to count

Police are investigating an incident in which a father is seen being physically abusive and intimidating towards his two young children while teaching them how to count.

A video of the incident is circulating on social media, showing the father slapping his two children, who appear to be between the ages of about 18 months and three years, because they cannot count.

The video also shows one of the children crying after being intimidated and slapped, while the mother records the incident and appears to take it lightly.

Police say a report has been lodged at the Nakasi Police Station, and investigations are underway.

They add they are in the process of gathering more information.

Questions have been sent to the Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, Sashi Kiran who is looking into the matter and is expected to provide a response soon.

Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission is also expected to respond soon.
