SINGAPORE: A 52-year-old woman who allowed her teen son to use methamphetamine was sentenced to four years’ jail on Friday (June 5).
The woman, who cannot be named due to a court-imposed gag order, pleaded guilty to two charges, including exposing a child to drug utensils and methamphetamine consumption.
The court heard that the woman lived in a Yishun flat with her son, who was 15 years old at the time, and her husband. She began smoking methamphetamine in 2022.
In January 2025, her son chanced upon the drug utensils that were left in the sink. He asked his mother what they were, and she told him they were used to smoke methamphetamine.
This led to the teen to consider trying the drug, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Etsuko Lim.
Over the next few months, the teen smoked methamphetamine every two to three days, using the utensils that his mother and stepfather left in the living room.
