41 year-old Meas Nary, who was arrested for cruelty against 11 year-old Sreyneang, who is her goddaughter, had confessed to torturing the girl for the period of 7 months, reports Deum Ampil.

On 16th October, Meas Nary, her 62 year-old husband, Var Savoeun, who were supposed to be Sreyneang's godparents, along with 62 year-old Thoeng Reth, who was supposed to be Sreyneang's adopted mother, were arrested for cruelty against the girl, including beatings and torturing her with sticks, electric cords and pinching her with pliers, leaving horrific scars on her body. (Read previous report and see the girl's body scars here).

According to police documents, Sreyneang was an orphan who had been put in the care of 62 year-old Thoeng Reth when she was one year old. Thoeng Reth said that at that time, her mother promised to pay her 60,000 riels ($15) per months for looking after the girl. But she never received the 60,000 riels promised to her. Later, the girl's mother died of a car accident.

In 2008, Thoeng Reth met Meas Nary and her husband who were both teachers. Thoeng Reth gave the girl to Meas Nary and her husband and in exchange the couple paid her $400.

Sreyneang said that she was beaten, tortured and abused 2 months after she arrived at the couple's house. She said that Var Savoeun, who is a teacher at Western Private School, had slapped her face several times and his wife, Meas Nary, who is a teacher at Santhor Mok High School, had confessed to beating the girl with sticks, brooms, electric cords and twisting her flesh with pliers. But she said she'd done that because she wanted to teach the girl to be a good person. "I know I've done the wrong things, but the reason I've beaten her was because I was angry with her and I wanted her to be a good girl", said Meas Nary.

On Saturday 17th, Haggar Ha, a child protection NGO, has taken Sreyneang under its care permanently. Ms. Sue Hanna, director of Haggar Ha, promised to care for Sreyneang and provides her with a good future and a good education.

After the publicity, Phnom Penh Governor, Mr. Kep Chutema had donated $300 to the girl and Mr. Khuong Sreng, governor of Sok San district where the girl has lived, has promised to help the girl to overcome her difficulties.

Let this be a message to all Khmer people. This is an existing practice that most of us learned since at a younger age, that adult like to abuse their children physically and emotionally. I hope all parent will watch this story very closely so that they would not repeat the same crime.

thank god, we are beginning to see god's good work in helping khmer people from all walks of life. yes, cambodia needs everyone's care and interest to help the victims of human cruelty. god bless all. if we don't do something about it, it will continue to happen in society. people like this mean, evil family should be educated and made aware of the law and punishment and be responsible for their own action. thank you. nobody has to go through this; the KR regime did this already and khmer people don't need this cruel way again. thank you.

Thanks to all concerned and at last this poor little girl can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's good to see a happy ending for the girl.

I wish the three culprits will get the punishments each of them deserved.

4:33am, What' is her clit, clitoris? you meant used the same plier ripp off her VAGINA?

there's no such thing anymore as a slave in cambodia. i think everyone is getting paid to do the housework like cooking and cleaning, etc... plus, the maids get a chance to go to school when not cooking or cleaning. and when they reach adolenscent or finish school they go back to their province to work or marry, etc... this is perhaps is just an isolated incidence as this evil family is abusing this little girl, however, the majority of khmer people don't necessarily abuse their workers this is one family. so, just because you see one bad apple, doesn't mean everyone in cambodia is that bad, really! please think logically, ok! don't assume all or everyone is treating others like that, ok! be educated!
