(Facebook pic)PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Heng Lee Lee has questioned why police did not contact the biological mother of an 11-year-old schoolgirl allegedly sexually abused by her father before placing the girl in the care of her paternal grandmother.
In a statement today, the Berapit assemblyman responded to an explanation issued by Penang police on Sunday about the girl’s whereabouts after her school principal lodged a police report at 11.15am on Oct 16.
State police chief Dennis Lim said the girl was temporarily placed in her paternal grandmother’s care on Oct 16 as her mother was away in Singapore at the time.
