Violent Scene

I am shivering. I just saw a man kicked, slapped and punched his son, which I think is about 4 years old.

The man wanted to go to the Bank for some transactions, I guess and the son insisted to follow. He instructed the boy to wait in the car but the son reluctant. Once he leaves the car, the son follow and opens the car’s door. He returned and slapped him. He turned and wanted to leave again and the son ignores his warning and opens the car’s door again. He carried the son and threw him in the car and kicked him. I want to stop him but am too timid to do so. I saw another man who observed the entire event, I request for his assistant to stop the man.

Eventually, the crazy man seems realized we are watching his act. He finally turned and went to the Bank by ignoring his son. The son, stubbornly, opens the car’s door and follows his foot step to go into the Bank.

How can a man treats his son so violently? The boy only wants to follow him and I don’t think the boy will create any trouble for him as well. Really heartbroken and feel sick about the man. On another hand, I feel so shameful for myself for not extend my hand to the boy.

I don’t want mummy, says girl in custody fight

I read this news from The Start online today where this little girl, Low Bi-Anne, aged 11 refused to follow her mother despite the high court order for the custody of the child to the mother.

During the process, the little girl has sat close to her father. When the court ask the little girl to give her mother, who has taken care her for nine months, a chance, the little girl refused and fought back that the father has taking care of her for 10 years.

I am neither a judge nor a lawyer. I don’t have any legal background and I dare not to question our court ruling as I am just an little ordinary citizen of this country. However, to me, this case is pretty clear cut and the parent in this case should not bring this matter to the court. If you love your children, you should respect their decision. Since she is more comfortable with the father, let her be with the father. What the mother can do is trying to approach the child gradually and the father should also give reasonable access to the mother to shower her love to the little girl.

Even if we have successfully “force” the girl to follow her mother, this will not do anything good to her health mentally and emotionally.

So, parent out there, despite differences between both of you, please minimise the involvement of you children. Please respect them and do not force them to choose. We are all in modern age and I believe that we can handle it pretty well, right?
