2-Chained-girl_0A day after Prime Minister Hun Sen pointed out the need for more effective child protection in Cambodia, police in Koh Kong arrested and released a woman who admitted to chaining her 4-year-old “adopted daughter” inside their house eight hours a day for the past two years.

Authorities and rights workers placed the girl in a Ministry of Social Affairs-approved shelter on Friday evening, after following up on a complaint lodged by a fellow resident of the house in Kemarak Pumin town’s Smach Meanchey commune, which shelters as many as 60 farmers.
