In a startling incident, a 35-year-old woman in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram district was arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act for having sexually exploited her 14-year-old son. This was the first such incident seen in Kerala and has sent shockwaves across the state.

Now more information have surfaced regarding the incident that happened a few days ago. The mother's youngest child has now revealed that it was his father who forced his brother to testify against his mother. The woman's parents also complained that she was trapped in the case as she opposed her husband's demand for a divorce to remarry someother lady. The family alleged that the husband, who filed a complaint against his wife, had even remarried without obtaining a legal divorce.

The accused woman has three boys aged 17, 14 and 11 and a girl of 6 years old. Although it was a romantic marriage, she was separated from her husband for three years due to constant harassment. With this the husband remarried. After that he took three children with him. The case and the arrest are based on the statement of one of the children. The woman's elderly parents and their fellow villagers are desperate to prove their daughter's innocence.

The incident came to light after the father lodged a complaint with childline saying that his teenager son was abused by his mother for over 4 years. The child opened up to his father and then the child was counseled by childline workers and the statement was recorded. The boy gave similar statement of abuse to the child line workers as he did to his father. She was produced before a court which sent her to judicial custody and is now at the woman’s prison at Thiruvananathapuram. While reporting the matter, the police said that this was first such incident seen in the state.
