Caught on CCTV: Singapore mum jailed 13 months for beating six-year-old son over 100 times with belt after failed handstand
One other charge of giving false information to the police was taken into consideration in sentencing.Both the woman and her son cannot be named due to a court gag order banning the identification of the child.The woman and her son lived with the woman’s then-boyfriend, as well as several of the boy’s siblings, half-siblings, and step-siblings.
The next day, on May 12, 2020, the woman took the boy to a neighbourhood police centre, where she lodged a police report falsely alleging that her then-boyfriend had beaten the boy.On May 13, the boy was examined by Dr Juliet Tan at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.The woman was also examined on multiple occasions by Dr Lee Yu Wei of the Institute of Mental Health.
Dr Lee opined, however, that there was no contributory link between her mental disorder and the offence. “I hope I will be given a chance to be a better mum and a better person. I also hope to be given a chance to raise my kids with my tender loving care.” However, the judge also acknowledged that the offence appeared to be a “one-off” and that there was no history or pattern of abuse where the woman was violent to the boy or her other children.
