A girl with Down Syndrome was believed abused in a welfare home owned by a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Kuala Lumpur in the past one year.

Negeri Sembilan Welfare Department (JKM) director Rosnah Sardi said the 13-year-old girl was under the care of Taman Sinar Harapan (TSH) Tuanku Ampuan Najihah in Seremban since 2011 before being handed over to the welfare home of the NGO as an adopted child last year.
