Tripoli , Libya ( CNN ) -- The badly burned former nanny of two of Moammar Gadhafi 's grandchildren was receiving medical treatment Tuesday in the burn unit of a Tripoli hospital . Shwygar Mullah says the wife of Gadhafi 's son Hannibal poured boiling water on her for failing to keep a child quiet . She is being treated with antibiotics for an infection . Her burns are dressed . CNN first met Mullah on Sunday while visiting the luxurious former home of Hannibal Gadhafi . As a CNN crew was about to leave , one of the staff members mentioned a nanny who worked for Hannibal Gadhafi . He said that Hannibal 's wife , Aline , had burned the nanny . At first it looked as though the nanny was wearing a hat and something over her face . Then the crew realized that her scalp and face were covered in red wounds and scabs , a mosaic of injuries that rendered her face into a grotesque patchwork . Even though the burns were inflicted three months ago , she clearly was still in considerable pain , but she told her story calmly . She 'd been the nanny to Hannibal 's little son and daughter . The 30-year-old came to Libya from her native Ethiopia a year ago . At first things seemed OK , but then six months into her employment she was burned by Aline , she said . Three months later the same thing happened again , this time much more seriously . In soft tones , she said Aline lost her temper when her daughter would n't stop crying and Mullah refused to beat the child . `` She took me to a bathroom . She tied my hands behind my back , and tied my feet . She taped my mouth , and she started pouring the boiling water on my head like this , '' she said , imitating the vessel of scalding hot water being poured over her head . She peeled back the garment draped carefully over her body . Her chest , torso and legs are all mottled with scars -- some old , some still red , raw and weeping . As she spoke , clear liquid oozed from an open wound on her head . After one attack , `` There were maggots coming out of my head , because she had hidden me and no one had seen me , '' Mullah said . Photographs show Mullah 's terrible condition when she first arrived at the hospital in June -- taken by doctors who started to treat her . They say they were bullied by Hannibal Gadhafi 's staff into stopping treatment . Hospital director Rida Franka told CNN : `` After three days they came and threatened me here and said you have to discharge the case or otherwise you have a lot of problems . '' Despite the threats , a guard later brought the nanny back secretly for more treatment . When the Gadhafi family found out , doctors say they were again ordered to stop treatment . And after Aline Gadhafi found out about the kind actions of Mullah 's co-worker , he was threatened with imprisonment if he dared to help her again . `` When she did all this to me , for three days , she would n't let me sleep , '' Mullah said . `` I stood outside in the cold , with no food . She would say to staff , 'If anyone gives her food , I 'll do the same to you . ' I had no water -- nothing . '' Her colleague , a man from Bangladesh who did n't want to give his name , says he was also regularly beaten and slashed with knives . He corroborated Mullah 's account and said the family 's dogs were treated considerably better than the staff . Mullah was forced to watch as the dogs ate and she was left to go hungry , he said . CNN has been inundated with offers of assistance for Mullah and is working with humanitarian organizations and medical officials to get help for her . As soon as information is available , CNN will let people know how to help on CNN and CNN.com/impact .
