SINGAPORE, Nov 12 — A domestic helper was seen hitting a toddler several times on the back during a TikTok livestream, prompting a Facebook user to appeal for help in locating the child’s parents.

The livestream, which appeared to have taken place in the afternoon based on the timestamp shown in the video, showed the helper cuddling the young girl and seemingly trying to get her to nap.

While holding the toddler close, the helper was seen hitting her on the back a few times.

The helper later spoke to the toddler in Mandarin, to which the girl also responded in the same language, repeatedly saying “no” before sitting up and refusing to nap.
