Children Under The Child Protective Service, One Year On: Where Are They Now?

*Note: This is an amended version of a video that was published earlier.

In late 2019, CNA was given unprecedented access to Singapore’s Child Protective Service and some of its clients. A year on, we follow up with ‘Mei’, an abusive mother whose daughter was removed from her care; and ‘Lyn’, who had her two sons placed in foster care when their home was deemed unsuitable for children.

How have their lives changed since? And have the children since been returned to their parents?

Since the series Inside the Child Protective Service aired in early 2020, Mei’s daughter ‘Anne’ has moved from foster care to live with her father. Rebuilding her troubled relationship with her mother has been more difficult.

As for Lyn, she and her husband have since had a third child, who has been allowed to remain in their care, following monitoring and their adherence to a safety plan. Their sons however, are still not ready to be returned to their care.
