A grandmother was caught on camera forcibly pushing her grandson’s head into flood water.

The incident took place in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

In a report by Mel Tiangco on GMA 7’s '24 Oras,' the 12-year-old boy was seen screaming and pleading with his grandmother to stop.

Eventually, the grandmother released her grip, and the boy quickly ran away to ensure his safety after the disturbing incident.

According to the investigations, the incident happened back on March, but the video was only uploaded on social media yesterday.

In an interview with GMA Regional TV, the grandmother told the Lapu-Lapu City Social Welfare and Development Office that she was just discipling her grandson.

It's because he bathed in flood water despite her telling him not to. She added that she regretted what she did.

Meanwhile, the 12-year-old boy will be undergoing counselling and monitoring.

The Social Welfare and Development Office (SWDO) is the local arm of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) under city or municipal governments in the Philippines.

Its main role is to provide assistance and social protection to individuals and families in need, especially the poor, vulnerable, or those in crisis.

The office handles programs for children, women, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and disaster victims.

It also conducts assessments, delivers emergency aid, offers counseling and livelihood support, and coordinates with other agencies to ensure appropriate services are given.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
