Shocked!
I saw something very disturbing last night.. Something that i never thought that a parent would do no matter how upset they were...
Me and Joel were fishing at our favourite prawn-fishing site at Jurong Reptile Garden. While we were fishing, there was this kid (about 6-7 years old) running around disturbing everyone. One word, irritating!!
Eventually, one of the staff warned him not to disturbed us and that if she heard anyone complain about it, she would give it hard to him. So i asked the staff, "Whose kid is that?" "Some customer's kid..", she replied.
Not thinking much, we continued our prawning session. Out of nowhere, there was a burnt smell.. Me and Joel looked around and saw the kid and his siblings setting fire to some dry leaves they collected! The fire wasn't big but for a kid playing with fire, you know how WRONG it is! Joel went to the counter to order some drinks and at the same time, he informed the staff about it, fearing the small fire will be a hazard to the place.
Suddenly, i heard cries.. You will never guess what i saw.. The kid's father was kicking him badly!!! Oh my goodness...! Yes, kicking and not beating him.. From my angle, his father was kicking him badly! It's like when you are in a fight, you kicked the opponents hard and with all your might!! Yes, that hard on a mere 6-7 year old boy!
I looked at Joel and both of us were stunned! We weren't sure whether to interfer or not.. Firstly, it's their family business and we have no right to interfer. Secondly, those staff who knew the family well weren't doing anything to stop the kicking. Whatever reasons we have (for not stopping the kicking), both of us were just too stunned to do anything.. If you were there, you will know what i mean..
How can a parent kicked his own flesh and blood as if he's born to endure such treatment?
Yes, the kid might be naughty or rebellious or something but it doesn't give you the right to kick him like that because you gave life to him..
BE A RESPONSIBLE PARENT PLEASE! NO CHILD ABUSE!
