The mother had brought her eight-year-old son to the building for basketball lessons. He then said he needed to use the toilet, so she told him to go to the women’s restroom on the third floor.
Two women were there at the time. As they left the toilet to approach the lift, one told the other that the boy was too old to use the women’s restroom and should have used the men’s instead.
The boy’s mother overheard these words. When all four entered the lift together, she said there was no problem with her son visiting the restroom.
In addition, she criticised the woman’s appearance, describing it as “neither boy nor girl.”
The confrontation escalated into a quarrel, and the boy’s mother ripped off the victim’s mask.
The altercation continued, with the boy’s mother hitting the victim’s friend on the back as they exited the lift.
Seeing this, the victim pulled her friend away and confronted the woman, who said her mother would be ashamed to have a daughter like her.
This infuriated her, and she shoved the woman with both hands, causing her to fall backwards. The two friends quickly left the scene.
Refusing to let it go, the boy’s mother entered her car and drove around the building to look for the duo. She finally found them at a zebra crossing and drove against traffic, stopping right in front of them.
Disembarking from the vehicle, she grabbed the victim’s clothes and told them not to leave, stating that she had contacted the police.
According to court documents, there were bruises on the victim’s body, and she had to seek medical treatment.
Charged for violence towards the boy’s mother, she received a fine of S$1,000.
The prosecution had also argued for a S$3,500 fine for the boy’s mother, as she was responsible for starting the fight. Furthermore, she had caused the victim to suffer injuries.
The woman eventually received a S$3,000 fine for her actions.
