Murder-accused mother ‘caned’ son as ‘bible allowed’

A shocking case has emerged where a mother accused of murdering her own child claimed that she was following the teachings of the Bible when she allegedly ‘caned’ her son.

The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, reportedly told authorities that she believed in the principle of ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’ as mentioned in the Bible, which justified her actions.

However, child rights activists have condemned the act, stating that physical punishment of any form is not acceptable and can have long-lasting negative effects on a child’s psychological well-being.

The case has sparked a debate on the interpretation of religious texts and the boundaries of discipline when it comes to parenting.

Authorities are currently investigating the matter and the mother is set to stand trial for the alleged murder of her son.
