SINGAPORE: Mdm Sarimah Amat, 53, was bathing her second foster child, a cheerful four-year-old boy with infantile epilepsy, when she made a decision she would soon regret.
The homemaker had tried to keep the playful boy from falling, but it was she who fell in the bathroom instead. Mdm Sarimah hurt her knee and inflamed an old injury, and she decided this was the final straw.
