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.



Not being cruel or judgemental, but i think it is really irresponsible of the parent to dump their baby (3 month old) to a babysitter and they themself go for a holiday. If its a business trip or something urgent than MAYBE its justified, but they went for a Holiday! and for 1 month duration~
I dont know what makes them do that, perhaps they find being a parent isn't easy and think they deserve a break?
And they leave the baby in the hands of a babysitter when their relatives live in the same area as the babysitter...i find this weird too...

Now, who is it to blame? Want to sue the babysitter? Who ask you go for a holiday? Can't your Hong Kong trip be posponed later? Hong Kong won't run away, i'm sure~

I dunno la...i'm not a parent yet, but for me, I will not leave my child who is only 3 month old in the hands of a babysitter to go for a HOLIDAY~...it's just ridiculous.. the baby is not a puppy you know....
