Mother abandon her toddler

A recent news article read that a 32 year-old woman has left her toddler son at Marsiling Mrt Station.

The shocking part of the news is that 10 days later on Sept 11 2008, she did it again! outside Tiong Bahru Plaza. It's not because she is unable to take care of her child due to illness or whatsoever.

Her can a mother put her child at such risk? Leaving the child by mrt and a shopping complex. Perhaps she has lost all possible ways to communicate with her husband? Or perhaps is the post-natal blues? But whatever the case maybe, do spare a thought for the poor boy. And one learning lesson here is that.."always communicate" never take things into our own hands!

After investigations her real motive was to get the attention of us neglecting husband. She had hoped that, by giving her husband the impression that she was careless about looking after the child, he would show more affection and responsibility to the boy.

Currently undergoing counselling however she could be fine up to $4000 or a jail term of up to four years, or both.
