Views of Family and close relationships:
Views of Kee Thu, the section leader
He said that the grandparents want to be resettled together with the child and he is sure that the child also does not want to leave the sides of the grandparents since they are very much attached to each other. He stated that the child is full time staying with the grandparents since birth and he just visited the father’s house sometimes. He opined that the child has less attachment to the father because he never stayed with him and the father also went out to work most of the time. He also does not think the father would be able to take care of the child both in physically and emotionally as the grandparents although he would love his child. He also does not think the step mother would be able to take care of the child well if he had to stay with them because she has her own two children to look after and she does not seem to have attachment with the child as well. He also said that since the child only grew up under the close attention of the grandparents after the death of the mother, if he was left with the father when the grandparents are resettled, the father might not be able to give full attention as the grandparents. The grandparents sent the child off to school every day and they are very detailed in caring the child. At the moment, the father went out to work every day and his wife stays home and taking care of her two children. He therefore said that the grandparents are so far the best caregiver to the child and the child should remain with them for the better development of the child. The section leader also shared that the father also mentioned that he would let the child to be resettled with the grandparents.
