Means a light slap on the wrist to show they did something without kicking up diplomatic row.

Angmo countries not as safe as most asian countries. There always got burglars break into houses when owners are away. It's not wise to leave children alone at home. U think your children can fight the bad guys like the movie Home Alone?

Is that a woke culture in play? Why cannot let child learn independence at an early age?

You ask him loh. But any parents will tell you children need to adhere to a routine. So need to put them to sleep at certain time.

Read for context. Even if Asians are known for letting school children go to school by themselves, you are expected to follow the norms of the country you are residing.


During the incident in September 2023, one child woke up and left the locked house to look for the man and his spouse. The child was found a short distance from home, triggering the involvement of the local police. MFA did not say how old the child was.
