I reminded him that I am his mother and that was when he came and slapped me three times before people came to take him away,\u201d the mother said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that her son had pleaded for her forgiveness at Bakau police station but she wants to teach him a lesson. During the cross-examination, the son asked his mother if he ever fed her using stolen money, but she responded that he never fed her in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The police prosecutor Cadet Inspector Keita appealed for an adjournment to call the second prosecution witness.
