A nanny beat and bit a child in hercare in South Africa.
"I thought this woman was happy with her job," said Puleng Maqalike (30), the mother of the nine-month-old baby.
"But now I believe the woman was possessed by evil."
By the time Puleng, the mother of little Omphilelerato from Dooren in Welkom, Free State, found out that her child had been beaten, bitten and had a broken leg, the nanny had already run away and cops are looking for her.
"I arrived home from work on Thursday and saw that my child's face was turning green," she said.
"Because I believed the nanny was taking good care of my little boy, I didn't suspect her at all. I thought my child was suffering from some allergy so I took him to hospital. The nanny even helped me pack his clothes."
But when she got to the doctor and removed his clothes she saw the bruises on her baby's body.
"The doctors told me my boy had been assaulted," she said.
"But when we got home, the nanny was gone."
Puleng works as a clerk at a mine and she was introduced to the nanny by her colleague.
She employed the nanny to look after her firstborn full-time because she was at work most of the day.
She said the nanny, who is in her early twenties, was humble and spoke in a soft voice.
"She seemed to be such a gentle person," said Puleng.
"I even bought her clothes and presents. Even on the Thursday that I took my boy to the hospital, I had bought her shoes because I saw her shoes were old."
Omphilelerato is recovering in the Welkom Mediclinic.
Police spokesman Captain Stephen Thakeng said: "We are investigating a case of assault. No arrest has been made yet and cops are looking for a woman called Makabelo Lepota to help with their investigations."
