An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

He was choked, pushed against a wall and stomped by his mother, and he later died from his severe injuries. All because the four-year-old boy was unable to recite the numbers 11 to 18 in Malay.*

Noraidah Mohd Yussof, 34, assaulted*Mohammad Airyl Amirul Haziq Mohamed Ariff on 1 August 2014 at her flat in Eunos Crescent. Airyl succumbed to his injuries four days later.

Appearing in the High Court on Monday (28 March), Noraidah pleaded guilty to*two counts each of causing grievous hurt and ill-treating a child for the assault.

But the fatal assault was not an isolated case. Noraidah, a divorcee, admitted to four other instances of physical abuse between 2012 and 2014 that took place at her Eunos flat.

She was originally charged with causing grievous hurt. When the boy died, she was charged with murder but this was later amended to the original charge.

Abuse began in 2012

Court papers revealed that the abuse started some time in March 2012 after Noraidah got upset with her son for being unable to recite the alphabet properly. She pushed Airyl to the floor before stepping on his ribs. She also twisted and pulled his hand during that incident.*

Noraidah took her son to Kandang Kerbau Hospital on 12 March 2012 where Airyl was diagnosed to have suffered from fractures to his elbow, calf and ribs.*

According to court papers, Airyl was then referred to the Ministry of Family and Social Development, which placed him under the care of his maternal uncle and sister in law. The papers did not mention why she was allowed to resume taking care of her son later.*

Deadly assault in 2014

On 1 August 2014, Noraidah fetched Airyl from school and brought him home.
