A teen drug addict in the UAE tried to kill his mother while he was under the influence of narcotics.
In an anti-drug campaign, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department said the 18-year-old's Arab mother blames herself for her youngest son becoming an addict. She said she was negligent and spoilt her son by giving him money whenever he asked, which he then used to buy drugs and alcohol.
The Arab mother, who said she forgave her son for his violent behaviour, told her family lawyer that he needed to be treated for his addiction instead of being jailed for it. She said this would be the best way to rehabilitate her son and make him a productive member of society.
