Thiruvananthapuram: "Even if the whole world is against her, I will not blame her. She's not a heartless mother" - says mother-in-law of Thodupuzha boy's mother.
"It is true that she went with him soon after the death of her husband, my son. Everyone in the family restrained her. This might be her fate. She was lured with his promises. He was such a criminal that he made her and the kids starve for days. But she didn't tell us anything. Locals and social media are blaming her for everything that happened. But for me, she was not a daughter-in-law, but a daughter", the woman's mother-in-law said. "It was five year's after the marriage, they had a kid. She was always seen with the child. Will a loving mother stay still as her child is attacked" she asked.
Meanwhile, the seven-year-old boy who was brutally attacked by his uncle turned step-father is battling for life on a ventilator. The boy is admitted to the ICU of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church Medical College Hospital at Kozhenchery. The child is being fed through a tube since other organs have not been affected.
The boy's four-year-old younger brother was also assaulted by Arun. "We will try to get the younger one's custody from the Child Welfare Committee", added the child's grandmother.
