Mum threatens to jump from Bangkok building, babe in arms

By The Nation

 

 

A mother distraught after quarrelling with her husband had to be coaxed from an exterior ledge of a three-storey Bangkok apartment building, from which she was threatening to jump with her infant child in her arms.

 

The Monday morning drama in Khan Nayao district ended after two hours when Bueng Koom police brought the husband to the rooftop and the mother was persuaded to go inside.

 

Police arrived on the scene at 8am to find the woman sitting on the ledge of the building on Soi Serithai 61 Branch 7 with her eight-month-old baby in her arms.

 

She was crying and appeared dazed. It was later discovered that she’d come from Nakhon Sawan.

 

A fire engine hoisted its crane close to the woman and an air cushion was inflated on the ground below her.

 

Unable to convince the woman to go inside to safety, police brought her husband to the scene at 10.11am. He managed to coax her inside.

Good result.Hope the woman gets the help she needs

The mentally in some people is baffling. Why feel the need to kill her baby, just for beeing unhappy herself?

I blame social media.....it has fried everyone's minds.

Probably more likely that she was trying to get attention rather than actually kill the baby. Call it a juvenile cry for help.

little bit like self harming. cutting wrists without actually cutting. lady needs counselling for some reason

Anyone is allowed to be a parent, even if they are mentally unfit to be one. It's a strange old world.

Never heard about " after-birth-depression" ?????????

She had an argument with her husband.

Much more behind it than " an argument with her husband"!
