11-month-old drowned while his mum slept

A TODDLER drowned in a pail of water at home while his young mother slept, tired out after a night of clubbing.

Adrian Ong Jun Wei's father was out looking for a job when it happened. The child's maternal grandmother was also out - picking a gift for her grandson's first birthday.


At yesterday's coroner's inquiry into the 11-month-old's death on May 7 last year, his father William Ong Hui Shang, 27, recounted how he had panicked when he got home and saw that his son was not on the mattress in the living room next to his girlfriend. She was still asleep.

Becoming a mother at 18 was tough

THE woman whose child drowned in a pail of water while she was asleep said she was 'very sad' about what happened.

But becoming a mother at the age of 18 was very difficult for her, said Ms Tan Siew Kim, now 20 and unemployed. She found it tough to let go of the lifestyle she led before becoming pregnant, and continued going clubbing almost every weekend.

The baby's father pleaded with her not to go and to stay home with their baby. But she could not 'abandon' her friends.

i think she is just being irresponsible thats all..

[honestdeal]

Too young to understand the word responsibilities la i guess.

[exxondus]

well, she chose to 'abandon' her baby.

anyway, her friends only can go clubbing de meh? but then again, the root of the issue is not about clubbing. nothing wrong with her gg tho. but should maybe make arrangements before hand if she knws she is gg to be dead drunk and tired when she comes back.

i dont think she would be able to step into any pubs or club again, ever

Look at it at the other angle, gd for the child also since the parent are so irresponsible rather than letting him/her suffer along the whole life. Sad case.

And why so?

Not a very fair stmt you made. Life evolves.

she made the baby, she killed the kid, now she will have to face the consequences.
wanna play, play safe. dont wanna play safe, dun play at all. because someone is bound to get hurt, as in this case, everyone loses.

Well that is just my 2 cents opinion.

i can see where you are coming from, since irresponsible parents should not be parents at all
