Cops say no, mum wasn’t trying to kill 12-year-old


PETALING JAYA: A viral video of a 12-year-old boy seen asking for help at a food court and claiming his mother was trying to kill him was actually all due to a misunderstanding, says Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid.

The boy was scolded earlier by his mother after an argument with a younger sibling, so he ran away to the food court, he added.
