The news article online dated 1 February 2011 was about an article where a mum forces a boy to do homework outdoors at 9.30pm alone. Imagine you being left alone outdoors to do homework; well this is what this young boy of about 6 years of age went through at a badminton court in Sembawang.
Armed with a chair, he was brought by his mom to the badminton court to complete his homework on the bench which acted like a study table. While she leaves his son at the badminton court for about 15 minutes, she went off to somewhere. (It didn’t state).
I feel that she should not leave the young boy there at night alone while she went off. Is he trying to punish him? Even if there is no available study room at home, the least the mom could have done was to stay with the boy there throughout. This is because anything dangerous could have happened to him during this short 15 minutes as he was still too young to protect himself. No matter what sort of reasons, his son’s safety should be of higher priority.
