The boy was walking in tears without clothes around noon on Monday while his mother repeatedly insulted and whipped him.
Some neighbors asked her to stop, but she refused to do it.
“I don’t want to treat him like that. But this could be the only way to make him feel ashamed, so that he won’t steal money anymore,” she replied.
Then the neighbors called the police. And the local cops have reprimanded the mother.
The boy reportedly stole VND500,000 (in Naira, 4377) from his grandmother to play online games.
By the way, according to statistics, nearly three of every four Vietnamese children between the ages of two and 14 have suffered violence from their relatives or caretakers.
