A 30-year-old babysitter residing in Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City was detained on Saturday for allegedly abusing a six-month-old boy, who is now in a critical condition due to brain injury.

Police officers in Binh Tan District apprehended V.T.M.L. on charges of murder.

Earlier, the district police coordinated with relevant agencies to launch an investigation into the case in which the boy was suspected of being abused by his babysitter.

According to preliminary investigation results, P.T.N.A., residing in Binh Tan District, hired L. to take care of her six-month-old son—N.D.H.A., for VND3 million (US$128) per month.

On Tuesday, L. informed A. that the boy was rushed to the Ho Chi Minh City Children's Hospital for emergency treatment as he suffered shortness of breath.

The hospital later advised the boy’s parents to work with the police to clarify the reason for his son’s health problem.

A representative of the hospital said the boy is still receiving treatment at the hospital but loses consciousness and is in a critical condition.
