A few days ago, news regarding a 13-year-old down syndrome child who was severely abused by her unimaginably cruel caretaker began flooding all major news platforms. Pictures of her harrowing physical injuries— far worse than any child should bear — circulated widely and soon, the hashtag #JusticeForBella was formed and echoed across all social media platforms and still continues to gain momentum as we speak.
Siapa Bella? Apa yang dah berlaku kepada anak kecil ini? Kenapa beza sangat keadaan beliau pada tahun ni?

The caretaker was then arrested more than ten days after a police report was made. However, she was later released on bail. The case seemingly fell on deaf ears until Bella's abuse case made its round once again on the internet.
So, where is Bella now?
What has become of her?
Is she safe and away from those monsters?

At this moment, that information is rather confidential and sealed from the public to ensure the child's safety. The latest information reveals that the caretaker, Siti Bainun is filing a summon towards Mona Din; the person responsible for initially spreading the news along with concrete evidence about the abuse in the first place— an action that seems rather odd when the focus should solely be on the welfare of poor Bella.
Whatever the outcome may be, may the wrongdoers be severely punished.
