Abu Dhabi Police immediately took action upon seeing a viral video of a mother torturing her own child due to marital disputes.
Authorities have arrested the mother, Wednesday, February 19 according to reports from Gulf News.
The report furthered that the Filipina mother herself took videos as she dragged, slapped, and pulled the hair of her daughter as her videos have spread on social media. Authorities have learnt that the mother recently divorced her former Emirati husband, married another Emirati, and that this was her way of getting revenge for her ex-husband.
The ex-husband, who saw the video as it circulated on social media, filed the report with the Abu Dhabi Police.
In a post from the Abu Dhabi Police’s Instagram account, it said that the incident ‘was met with widespread condemnation from Emiratis and residents as the country rejects violence in all forms.’
