Police arrested several people who clashed with police and trespassed on a property in Taichung City last night, after a mob of around 500 people gathered to demand the arrest and detention of a woman suspected to have inflicted severe physical abuse on a child in her care.

Friday morning, June 21, a one-year-old girl was sent to hospital suffering intracranial hemorrhage, a fractured arm, and severe bruising on her head, chest, and back. The babysitter, Ms Guo, who had been caring for the child, claimed that she had been helping the girl take a bath, found her unconscious, and didn’t know how the injury had happened.

The nature of the injuries, and Guo’s evasive answers led medical personnel to report the case to the Social Affairs Bureau, and police.

After undergoing an operation to remove a blood clot in her brain, the toddler lay in a level three coma in the intensive care unit, with a pessimistic prognosis from doctors, who gave the girl little chance of survival, and a high likelihood of permanent brain damage if she does survive.
