A 49-year-old mother who used to work as a beer hostess wanted to chop up her daughter’s dog but end up chopping her daughter on the arm.
On the night of the incident at around 4.30 AM, the mother went into the girl’s room and hugged her daughter saying “Let me hug you one last time”. However, the mother reeked of alcohol and the daughter pushed the mother away and told her mother to leave the room.
The mother leave the room but returned to the daughter with a chopper, she was bleeding from her forearm.
The mother was unhappy after she was pushed aside, while wielding the chopper and bleeding she told her daughter “How could you do this to me? I am your mother”.
The daughter who was alarmed by her mother’s action called her grandfather immediately.
The court document stated that the daughter told her grandfather “Mom has gone crazy and again. She cut herself”.
The grandfather who stays nearby immediately makes his way over. After the call, the mother wanted to strangle the family dog but the daughter protected it and use her body to protect the dog from her mother.
It was then she wanted to reach for the dog but ended up slashing her daughter’s forearm instead. The daughter who protected the dog was also hit by the mother on the head with the chopper.
The grandfather arrived and told the daughter to call for an ambulance and to contact the Police. The mother shouted and told her daughter not to call the Police.
After the grandfather insisted on the daughter making the phone call to the authorities. The mother ran away.
But the mother returned later and was arrested from the unit.
The daughter wrote a letter to judge to give the mother a chance
Your honour,
I am writing this letter to explain how I feel towards this incident.
My father leaves me and my mother when I was an age of 14 years old even though I was young I still remembered that my mother was going through her lowest point in life, from her outlook I can tell she is giving up in life but because of my brother and I she decided to live on. I am scared that she is no longer around because I love her a lot and i wish that nothing will happen to her, I know that if she is not around I will need to be following my father and I wish it will not happen.
Even though my mom and I have some difficulties in communicating but deep down my heart I truly love her just that I can’t express it out, we had a talk and I understand that she is having a hard time controlling her emotional and it went overboard so she can’t be able to think straight, the way she talks to me I can feel that she is very sorry for what she had done to me and she didn’t mean it due to her love towards me she will never do that.
I hope you are able to give her a second chance, I promise from the bottom of my heart from today on I will do my part as a daughter to attend school every day, won’t create any trouble in or outside school, listen to her and lastly make sure she won’t make the same mistake again. My love for my mother is strong. I want to spend more time with her, seeing her every day and create more good memories since my father had left us alone. That is all I want to share, thank you your honour for putting effort in reading this note about my emotion I appreciate it a lot I really hope that you are able to give me a chance to spend more time with her.
I have already forgiven her, your honour.
The mother was sentenced to the detention of 14 days, 365 days of daily reporting and 140 hours of community service
