Intan Najuwa Calls for Stricter Mental Health Screening for Caregivers

Actress Intan Najuwa expressed her anger and disappointment over recent cases of infant abuse by caregivers that have gone viral on social media.

She said such cruel acts against innocent babies are unacceptable and deserve appropriate punishment without compromise.

Intan also urged the authorities to tighten screening procedures and mental health assessments for individuals seeking to work as caregivers, especially those involved in infant care.

According to her, mental and emotional stability are crucial, as caregivers bear a huge responsibility for the safety of other people’s children.

“Right now, if you want to be a caregiver, make sure your mental health is in good condition and that you are truly capable of caring for children, especially babies. If you can’t handle it, find another job. Don’t abuse other people’s children,” she wrote on social media.

Her emotional outburst was accompanied by strong remarks, expressing outrage over infant abuse and calling for the perpetrators to be arrested, punished accordingly, and imprisoned to ensure justice and the safety of children.

“Please arrest all these people. Then do to their faces what they did to those innocent babies. I’m really angry. It’s better they are imprisoned,” she said.
