The law look other way as sons defend mother
A father was attacked by his son with a bamboo stick when he attempted to stop his wife from leaving him on October 7 in Kampot province’s Kampong Trach district. Witnesses claim the father constantly beat his wife during booze-fuelled rages. Their three sons attempted to take her to live in Phnom Penh with them, but the father refused because no one would be around to take care of their remaining children. As the wife tried to board a taxi, the husband dragged her out. However, one son whacked his father with a bamboo cane, and they managed to escape to the capital with their mother. The father was taken to hospital, but police have so far failed to intervene in the case.
