Baby dies under care of nanny
Thursday April 9, 2009
KUALA LUMPUR: A three-month-old baby boy left in the care of a babysitter by his parents, who had gone overseas on holiday less than 48 hours earlier, was found dead.
Chan Kai Yee was found motionless when the 40-year-old babysitter tried to wake him up to feed him at her home in Kampung Bukit Tinggi, Bentong, at 8am yesterday.
Kai Yee’s parents had left for Hong Kong for a month’s holiday on Monday night.
The babysitter alerted Kai Yee’s family members, who lived nearby, and they rushed him to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (KLH), where he was pronounced dead.
Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman said the family members, suspecting something amiss, lodged a report at the KLH police beat base.
“A post-mortem will be conducted to verify the cause of death,” he said.
A family member, who declined to be named, said that when they arrived at the babysitter’s home they saw the baby’s mouth had turned purple and black.
It is learnt that the initial post-mortem result showed that the caused of death was believed to be due to chest infection.

I don't want to be judgemental but I hope the parents had a real good reason for leaving their three-month old baby for a one-month-holiday overseas.
