Cruel Mother Punishes Her Son By Tying Him To A Pole With Plastic Cord. Photos

Police in Thailand are today hunting a cruel mother who punished her young son by tying him to railings with plastic cord. The angry woman was spotted yelling at her son outside a food market in the Nonthaburi province near Bangkok, as she holds his head down with her foot.

She made him bend double while straddling the railings and then wrapped the thick plastic style string around his head, arms and back.

In the footage posted online, the terrified young lad is heard gasping 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe'.

But the woman refuses to let go and the lad, believed to be around five years old, remains tied to the white roadside railings while crying after the incident.

A shocked onlooker recorded the clip which has since been viewed more than two million times.

She passed it to Thai authorities who published it online and are now trying to trace the mother.
