Father noticed baby was unwell
Terengganu police chief Datuk Rohaimi Md Isa said the baby’s father had gone to pick him up from the childcare centre when he noticed that he was weak and in considerable pain.
Sensing that something was amiss, the baby’s father, who works as a medical officer, took the child to the hospital and realised that there blood clots in his head.
He then lodged a police report over the incident.
