The mum explained her side of the story
The police confirmed that they received a report from a 37-year-old woman in regards to the viral video that showcases herself and her child.
In the incident, the mum was picking up her twins from a primary school in Seri Kembangan when she had gotten into her car without noticing that one of her twins had not gotten into the car. She had only noticed her child’s absence while making a U-turn in front of the school.
She then immediately stopped her vehicle when she saw her child chasing after the car.
