Shocker: A Mother Slapped Her 6-Year-Old Son For Making His Grandmother A Mother’s Day Card And Not Her

Mother’s Day was commemorated yesterday (May 14) throughout the word. Mother’s Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. Social media made it possible for thousands of people to show gratitude to their mums in the most adorable way.

A woman from South, US failed to utilize the power of the internet to show her appreciation to her mum on this special day. And when her own son made a card for her mother (the boy’s grandmother), it attracted a hefty slap form his mother-she did not understand her son why her son went ahead to make card for his grandmother instead of her.

For this reason, the 30-year old woman identified as Shontrell Murphy has been charged with cruelty to children for slapping her 6-year old son. She however admitted to police she hit her son but “does not believe it was in a hard or violent manner.”

The Spartanburg Police Department were called to a home last week responding to a disturbance. Upon arrival, authorities saw a grandmother standing between her daughter and her grandchildren. The grandmother told police her daughter slapped her son several times in the front, side and back of the head.The police report states Murphy repeatedly slapped her son in the head after ripping up a Mother’s Day card that was intended for the boy’s grandmother. The child later admitted to police that his mother hits him and his sibling regularly and they’re scared of her.

The boy, according to report, was taken to the hospital for examination and later released. In fact if this thing has happened in Ghana, this woman would have been labelled a witch. What else is the plausible explanation for this behaviour?
