Here I am briefing a real incident happened to our place. If someone loses the life in any of natural calamities, the authorities would give Rs 25,000/- (approx. USD 5,300) to the dependents. A man of 35 years old was panned to get this money. Once day he took her mother for a walk, while it was raining heavily. When they reached on the middle of a bridge, the man called his mother by the side of the bridge and showed something on the water. While the mother looking in the water from the bridge, he pushed her to the river, and the son went away knowing nothing. It was his intention that once the mother died in the water assuming that it happened due to rains and he can get the money. Fortunately, some people on the sides of the rive saw someone was drowning and they saved the lady. Even though the incident got a police complaint and he was expected to get punishment. But the mother, she pardoned to the son!!! See, a mother taken care of the child upto the age of 35 and still what he did to her mother, and after happening all, how the mother reacted to it….. Have you ever heard of such a shameful incident before???

Hiya thanks, Very shameful incident indeed. His Mother still loves him though so no one can change that. Yes on the Television but not directly I have seen this kind of thing happen too. I won´t go into the details as there are a number of them. However the Mother here in this Country is not quite so forgiving I´m afraid. I have seen other People mistreat their Mother too continually and that is also a very bad way to behave. Thankful that the Mother is still alive and she is very gracious to forgive him so for doing such a thing. Wonder how her Son reacted when she forgave him? Moving Story indeed and I am glad that she lived to tell the Story as well.

Hiya Alice, No if I had the chance I would be off to live somewhere else. But I suppose she has no real choice or say in the matter. I think that she will always be more alert now for the just in case and also the People and Family surrounding her have realized and will look out more for her now. Bless her she must be very forgiving to live with him again. Saying in Spain "mejor lo conocido que lo mal por conocer" sometimes it´s better what and who you know now than to know about the future enemies. It´s a bit hard to explain that one really in English. It really means that it´s much better to know what you have right under your nose right now than what might happen in the future. Doh I am complicating it a bit more but that is more or less what it means. In other words you could go and live with someone else and they could be much worse. See what I mean?

Hiya thanks, Understood the situation. It is very brave of that Mother of his to stay with him very brave indeed. Even if she does have any problem and cannot move. She must be forever wondering what he might get up to next and so not live peacefully altogether. As I said before she must have some Friends around her or People who know her and I think that they might surely look out for her. Go to see her to see if she is well. Let her go and have Dinner at their Houses too. This might take her out of just being with the Son all the time as well. Also understood the Land and the Money situation this goes on a lot in other Countries too with Families splitting up and fighting between each other. I have had personal experience of that but that is no matter now. Personally if I was his Mom he would not be living in that House again for a start off. But that is only personal opinion. Take care now.

Hi dear, Yes, this is what everyone want to say, shameful!! The poor old mother is still alove and living with the same one and only brutal man. Perhaps, she may not have any other alternatives as her health conditions may not allow her to do so. However, this guy agreed that he will take care of the mother and there won't be any such incidents any more and it was a mistke from his end. Whatever it is, I think no one should do so and it is inhuman, no one should supposed to do to their loving old aged mother. However, there are such one-off incidents here & there, but it does not reach to media or third party attention. Thanks for you commnets. Thank-s

I knew an old lady who is now staying at a Home for The Aged Society. We visited the house with my former teacher. She told us a very hateful story: She was once rich. She and her family owns many lots, houses, and other businesses. One day, her son called her. The son was in other country that time. The son told her that he will bring her with him and live together and sell all their properties. Since the mother was so excited, she promptly sold all of their belongings. Then the son came back in the country to fetch her mother. When they were already in the airport, the son carried all the luggage including the money. The son told his mother that he will just go to to comfort room. The son did not come back anymore, leaving his mother in the airport alone and taking all the money. And the worst thing is, the son tagged his mother with : Please Take This Poor Woman to A Home For The Aged That story was very painful.

Hi Black/Lori, So pitiful!! I think we should some good lessons from such incidents. People really forgets about themselves when the matter moves to money and wealth. They really won’t realize the love and affection that other people have. When the human feelings are measured based on such things, we don’t have any right to say we are good sons or daughters, in front of our parents. It is really shocking, that how the mother would be suffer all such cruel deeds. I am sure that there may be so many untold or unseen real painful incidents happening around. All such unnoticed facts would remain only in those minds and they may be suffering such things sometimes not even cannot share with anyone. When I read about your briefing, I just remembered a similar incident. One of my friends sister go married, and it was a love marriage after 2-3 years of their affair. The groom (man) was from a distant place and was working in our area. The marriage ceremony was so grant one and after 4th day, the bride and groom returned to grooms home. We all went with them to the nearby railway station. When we reached over the city, the man told us to wait for some time and we, 6-7 people waited there. We were there for late night and there were no trace of the man. Finally we lodged a police complaint and went back. After 3-4 month we come to know that he moved to some other city and he had other wife and children. He run away from there because he saw some familiar person from the city and he scared that the other person would tell all background to us and he left the place. However, the girl got married to some other man after knowing this incident. This is the world we have to see such a lot of inhuman behaviours, actually they are living like cruel animals. Some time we cannot even compare such man to animals also, because even cruel animals are far better. Thank-s

A mother would be always looking for a positive side and whatever the age the children has. Here also the same thing happend. We can assume that whatever he desided is good for a better cause.

Personally for me, I cannot imagine someone doing something like this to their Mother. But they always say a Mother shares Love for their children and never wants to blame them for anything no matter what happens. Personally I think the son should have to face time in jail to think about what he has done before this leads onto something else and he succeeds. For someone to take this much thought into something like this jut because of $$ is unreal.

Hi dear, Thanks for your response. I think he got 100% sure that her mother will die in water and as it was the reason persuaded him. But thinking of such an idea is so crucial and no one can even think about his own mother. Everyone's opinion and ever th court him nominal punishments and he is under observation from the court. As this ailing mother has no one to look after, he has allowed for the same with certain conditions. Thank-s

This is not just a bad son...he is evil, a would be killer. The mother is just as bad because she has made him this way. He sounds to be a spoiled brat even at this advanced age. This guy is prepared to kill to get what he wants. He obviously thinks he is entitled and it is only his mother who stands in the way. She has always let him get away with everything so he has no respect for her. A mother who would do this is not a good mother. She is either incredibly stupid or just as much a criminal as her son. She has created a monster.

The person he attempted to kill is still alive. Therefore he did not kill her. Therefore, he is not a killer.

Yup! I agree with you, friend. There are son's and daughter, didn't realize how their mother difficulty to raise them from the womb of their mother. They are being blind by wealth and money... Like the popularity of one of the boxing champion. Donaire, which is now popular because he neglected his own parents. He didn't realize if he had no mother, he never see the beauty and harsh of this world...?

Hi dear, Those who realise the fact will always love their mother. Unfortunately, there are some human beings (hate to say they are) and they live only focused on wealth and property and they don't see any humanity or relationship in such things. When it comes to money all becomes so small and forgets all. If such people think for a moment, they will not do it. But, all will not do it. That is why such things are happening around. They don't realise that they have to give up all these material things here and go free of hand from where they are come from ...... Thank-s

Hiya thanks, Shame is what he should feel every time he goes in and out of the House his Mother brought him up in spent Nights walking the floors with him when he was ill and could not sleep. Feeding him instead of herself which many of us Moms have done. Putting clothes on his back and keeping him warm and dry in spite of everything. He should be grateful to God for having such a Mother. I just hope he can sleep at night knowing what he tried to do to her. Hope her Family and Friends look out more for her now just in case. I hope there is never another just in case but with more People looking out for her she will feel more protected. With our feeling of wanting to protect her too I think she will be much safer now. Take care now I posted at the top here again as I answered Alice too. Even so this will reach you have a great Weekend.

Hiya thanks, You are right there thanks no man would be a great Man without his Mother behind him all the time. Where would all these World Leaders be now without their Moms? Yes they have all had a Mother they would not have been here without her in the first place. She taught them all they know, she fed them, put clothes on their back, put them into School to read and write. All Mothers deserve recognition and all Fathers too. Sorry Dads I got so caught up with this poor Woman that I forgot a Dad has to come into it as well. Okay this is for all Dads too. Something we all have in common a Mother and Father. They should both be respected no matter what.

Hi Lovina/Alice, When we talk about a mother, we always become talkative. That is what mother is. She deserve everything, and no one above to her, whoever it is. May be the top level person, religious heads, politicians, or who ever may be, even they also have a mother, and they become the supreme power but for them also, mother is the highest respectable person. It is my strong desire that we all should love our beloved mother as much as we can at any time. She should be remembered for all our success. She is the one who give strength and power, whenever we need it. I dedicate this topic for all mothers, not only human beings, whoever deserve the word, mother. Thank-s

that's why there is a saying that says that a mother's love is unconditional and everlasting... regardless of how big and often the wrongs that we do to our mother, she will always forgive us and embrace us as her children... that is how pure and noble a mother's love is... i feel so sorry for what happen to the mum but i'm glad as well because nothing really happen to her... take care and have a nice day...

Hi dear, We cannot stop while talking about our mothers. If we consider from the very birth to date,they have done a lot to us. We should not forget anything what she must have contributed to us. From our experience and when we get children, we will directly experience the difference. We all cal mother earth, why there are a lots of meaning to it. Whatever we need all are getting from the earth. Like that mother is a place we getting all and such is the way we need to treat our mother and here what is going on is simply unbearable. Thanks for your comments. Thank-s

well in my view of this, I am disgusted! I can not believe that the son would do such a thing. And then the mother would not admit that her son tried to cause her demise. She must really love her son and be very forgiving. Maybe the son has some major issues that cause him to do such a shameful thing and try to harm others. He has to be crazy in the head. I have not heard of this happening to anyone personally but I watch the news and that is pretty bad.

hello thanks, I am also a mother. Though i know that a mother's love is a perfect example of an unconditional love,and what you've wrote here is a real life testament,but..if this happen to me...i don't know how to react. Maybe i can forgive my son,but the truth here is..my son is ready to kill me for money reason...then i can't say if what will be my next move. I admire the mother for her love...but the possibility that her son will do it again...no one knows. This is really shocking...sad truth about life. I will never exchange my mother for all the wealth in this earth. I owe my life to GOD,next to my mom. Have a great day

Hi, Yes, you are right. As long as you are being a mother, you can know it better. Perhaps you may not prefer to live with such a cruel men any more. Here the exception is her age. A mother of 40 or 50s can be think in such a way. As per my knowledge, she is above 60 and an ailing mother. In such a situation she must have forced to (by circumstances) to live with him again. We can pray that no such people should think in such a way for wealth or anything, it is so cruel and I don’t think any sensible person can think in such a way, unless in movies or stories. Thank-s

A parent (a mother in this case) has unconditional LOVE for their child(ren). ONLY GOD Almighty can harden a parent's heart against a child for ANY REASON that works to his glory.

Yeah you are right I believe no one in my life more forgiving than my mom but she is also strong woman. I think no one can change my mom place in my life. I think thats man doesn't know how to saw his gratitude to his mom and I don't think any mom deserve to treat like that especially by her loved children. I think thats woman has really big heart and I hope his son will change his behavior.

Hi dear, Thanks for your comments. You are absolutely right. If he has left some more manner in his life, he will turn as a good men now. In fact her decision to this guy is a kind of punishment and if he realizes, well and good. As per my knowledge, he understood his mistake and there were no further problems with them. However, it is shameful for him to live with her again like a son. We should take care of our ailing parents and this was too much from his side and I hope such incidents would be a lesson for the public and even it reminds the people how we need to treat our parents.

I really don't know why some people are so demonic enough to do like this. This should not be tolerated by her mother because if he has the opportunity to do it again, I think he'll do it just for the sake of money. She's spoiling her son; I'll admit mothers is always a mother but she made her son more dependent. What if she'll die, does her son know how to make for a living to survive?
• India
14 Jan 11
The after story also still more pathetic. I think now she is living with the same son as she is old enough enough and need of someone's help. After the incident, her health condition must have deteriorated and she was above her 60s. As he is the only one son, and the property belong to the lady would handed over to the son. However, I heard from the news papers that she is living with the son and was thee no problem afterwards. Also, police warned him and any misappropriation happens, he would be taken to the bars. Thanks for your comments. Thank-s

Hi, Yes, mother is mother and also she is again a human being like us. Even tomorrow, you also can be a mom of a child and you love them anything like. Once they become grown up and they turn up in such a way, how much feel we have and should we still love or leave? When things comes to us directly it will be a state of pain and respire. We can pray, people can behave still better to their parents and we have to do it. Anyway, today or tomorrow we also can be a parent of some children and we will realize the fact one day. Thank-s

Hello thanks! It is really a shameful incident and the fellow deserves the severest of punishment for this kind of outrageous act. It is irony that parents look after their wards, even if they grwo older and self dependent, however, their wards does not take care of them thinking they are getting old and will die one day then we will be the kings/queens. In the process, the forget that if they disrespect their parents, their kids might do the same thing to them one day.

Hi dear, We don't know the exact background and how it took place. But the lady, who is an elderly and in her 60s. She was waling with his son and never expected a cruel act from this man. Also, no one could think in such a way, this is the chance he exploited. However, it is shame for all and we could learn some lesson from this incident. Hope we will get more courage to lover our parents more closely, if we happened to hear such news. Thanks for your comments. Thank-s

Hi dear, Yes, he really deserve punishment. He release on bail and saved from punishment only because of the poor lady's request as she is old enough to live alone. Although, there was arguments that he will try some other means to again. But the basis of her request and police's strict advice he got saved. Still, he has to report to the police every month on particular days and make sure that there is no incidents happening around. Also, it was come to know from the news papers that he is looking after the mother carefully and there were no further problems so far. Thanks for your comments. Thank-s

Hi dear, Yes, she did a great job and I think from which the son will get a lesson. However, those who do such things will take time to rectify their mistakes. He admitted that it was so horrible, and he was not supposed to do so. Now they both are living together and there is no issues so far (as per news paper info). Thanks for your comments. Thank-s
