The police have requested not to circulate a video showing physical abuse of a child.

In a message sent to the media today, the police said that a video showing physical abuse of a child in an island under Upper North Police Division has come to their attention as it is being circulated on social media.

The police have asked not to further circulate this video, as doing so could cause additional distress to the abused child and potentially compromise the child's dignity.

The police stated that the Family and Child Protection unit, in collaboration with the local police, are investigating the necessary aspects of this case.
