A woman in the Central Highlands applied for a death certificate for her three-year-old son though he was still alive because she didn't want her ex-husband to visit him.

Nguyen The Dung, 41, who lives in Kon Tum Province, said Tuesday that he found his son days after his ex-wife Phuong showed him their son's death certificate.
