HANOI -- A Vietnamese woman forced her 10-year-old stepson to stitch up his mouth as a punishment for stealing the equivalent of 1.3 cents, police said.

Phan Thi Hien, 31, handed the boy a needle and thread after beating him severely for stealing the money in Bac Ninh, east of Hanoi.

"She forced the boy to (do) it while she was watching," a police officer told Reuters. "It was just one stitch."

Media reports said the woman had threatened to tell the boy's father of the theft if he refused.

The Cong An Nhan Dan (People's Police) newspaper said Hien would be prosecuted on a charge of ill-treating a child but she was not immediately detained because she needed to take care of her own younger child.
