Mum Stabs 7-Year-Old Son for Doing the Unthinkable
A mum reportedly stabbed her seven-year-old son, Promise, with broken bottles for allegedly defiling his two-year-old step-sister and their neighbour’s 5-year-old daughter. She is said to be in police custody while her son is undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Punch reports;
The mother, Mrs. Blessing Fred, was said to have gone out with her daughter on Sunday, leaving Promise behind.
It was gathered that while the mother was away, Promise went to visit five-year-old Yemi (pseudonym) ─ the neighbour’s daughter ─ at her parents’ apartment. He was said to have met Yemi alone and took her to his mother’s room.
On getting to the room, he reportedly told her to remove her clothes and lie down. It was said that he slept on top of the girl and fiddled with her private parts.
Yemi’s mother had left her with her sister, who was said to have left home when the incident happened. She narrated what transpired between her and Promise to her mum when she returned.
Residents approached on Wednesday declined to speak, but a neighbour, who did not want her name in print because of the sensitivity of the matter, said that Yemi’s mother invited Promise to her apartment and verified the story in the presence of her daughter.
She said, “Initially, he denied. But when the woman assured him that she would not tell his mother, he opened up and said it was true. He said he had been doing it with his step-sister too. The woman later reported Promise to his mother and he confessed to her as well. She first beat him with a stick on Monday for the offence. But all of a sudden, she smashed a bottle and stabbed him in the back.”
A resident, Bose Komolafe, said Fred had been arrested by the police from the Ijaiye-Ojokoro Police Division, while Promise had been admitted to a hospital in the area.
She said, “Some neighbours rushed to rescue the child from her. He is on admission at a hospital. Whatever the child might have done wrong, such a move was too harsh.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, who confirmed the incident, said, “Fred stabbed her son on the back for allegedly touching the vagina of his two-year-old sister. She has been apprehended. The victim is currently receiving treatment at a hospital. The neighbour’s daughter case was not reported to us.”
Wow such move was way too harsh andd uncalled for. I understand her angle to discipline her son but to stab him? That’s way over board. What happened to having a talk with him to know the root cause of the problem? Counseling perhaps? Or other forms of punishment but to stab? A 7year old? That’s a no no for me please.
All manner.
The question is where did the boy learn that from.?
This is cruel if you ask me, educate your child and desist from brutality.
That was really harsh
Message.. Really harsh
Na woa! Were did promise learn wat is sex? Bt his mum went extra mile by stabbing d boy she would hv used ken.
Things children watch & listen to nowadays is only God that we help us.
The mother went too far sha
Lord have mercy
God have mercy! What is this?
That was way too hash….and mean too what d boy did was wrong bt she went too far she has to work on her temper and on Her boy too
The mother probably knows where her son learnt that from(which explains such outburst from her).She probably makes out with her man in d boy’s presence claiming he is a small boy n too young to understand.Whatever d case,there are better ways to have handled that
I can imagine the pain that gripped this woman’s heart upon hearing this act of her young son. I pray the release her soon to come give her son the help he needs.
She mustve felt ashamed of her son’s action but de way n manner she went abt it is jst too harsh.Well,I believe she doesn’t know wat most of us parents in dis forum knows(thnk God for MIS).She wldve known beta dan stabbing her son.
Hope the parents of the little boy do not make love inthe presence of the kids thinking they are asleep becos that is the only avenue he can learn such
He must have learnt from someone but d mum went too far
7yr old know all these nonsense. Mum was too harsh.
Alot of crazy things is happening these days. I am so weak of them all
The boy definitely saw it somewhere. but that was too harsh
These children wl not put someone in trouble bc of anger. I know the son did a terrible thing but she did not handle the issue well too.may God see her through this
