Is their any kind of agreement that you have entered into with your maid?
well, the best way to deal with this is to install CCTV camera in your home everywhere where the maid would take the child. for the abusive and beatings, get the proof and then file a police complaint against the maid. Also, if the abuse is sexual or otherwise a complaint under Domestic Workers (Registration, Social Security and Welfare) Act, 2008 can be filed against such domestic help if she is working in your house fulltime.
its your child who is more important and hence, its better to change the maid. give her the warning but such maids may take the warning otherwise if she is abusive and short tempered lady.
