There’s nothing quite like a mother’s love. It’s a force so strong that it pushes boundaries, breaks conventions, and sometimes, takes the most unconventional routes to ensure the well-being of a child.
From the moment a child is born, a mother’s heart is filled with dreams and hopes for their future, wrapped in the desire to nurture and guide them towards becoming the best version of themselves.
M’sian mum brings son who disturbed classmates often to police station
But what happens when a child’s behaviour goes off the rails? How far will a mother go to teach her child right from wrong?
In a surprising move that raised some eyebrows, a mother from Malaysia took drastic steps to discipline her 7-year-old son by bringing him to the nearby police station after discovering he was causing a ruckus at school.
Aisyah Hamzah, a 42-year-old housewife, explained that this action was intended to teach her son a lesson and educate him not to repeat the same mistakes, despite multiple reprimands.
“I don’t know any other way to make him realise. As a mother, I want the best for my child. I think this lesson is the best way for him to learn and not repeat his mistakes,” Aisyah told Sinar Harian.
‘That day it went too far‘
Aisyah shared that she often advised her youngest child, Muhammad Ziqri, but her words were often ignored, even though Ziqri was an excellent student at school. Despite his academic success, his behaviour was a constant concern.
Aisyah, who adopted Muhammad Ziqri when he was just eight days old, revealed that her son had a habit of disturbing other students and was frequently scolded by his teachers.
“His teacher often tells me that Ziqri likes to disturb other students, but it’s not that severe.
However, that day it went too far because his friend fell and hit his forehead on the edge of the table. That’s why I took him to the police station to teach him a lesson,” she explained.
‘He no longer misbehaves or disturbs his classmates’
When asked about the feedback from the police, Aisyah mentioned that the entire situation was an act to scare her son straight.
The police officers at the station were informed of the real situation and played along to help teach Ziqri a lesson.
“I have told Ziqri many times to behave, otherwise I would take him to the police station. As soon as we arrived at the station, I told the officer to ‘arrest’ Ziqri, and they helped to make it happen,” Aisyah added.
Following the incident, Aisyah reported a significant change in Ziqri’s behaviour. He no longer misbehaves or disturbs his classmates.
“Alhamdulillah, now he doesn’t disturb his friends anymore. Maybe he learned a lesson from what I did,” she said.
Aisyah also offered advice to other parents, encouraging them to be patient when educating their children, especially those who are very active.
“I understand it’s hard to take care of active children, but every child is a trust and responsibility,” she concluded.
