Between January and July 15, 2019, she injected the boy with insulin on at least 13 occasions.
The woman had learnt that a high dosage of the substance could cause a person s blood sugar to crash, possibly leading to death.
The boy s blood sugar level did fall and he suffered headaches. But he survived the attacks.
On Wednesday (May 5), the 29-year-old mother was sentenced to five years jail after she pleaded guilty to causing hurt to the boy by using a poison.
The woman, who also has two daughters, cannot be named due to a gag order to protect her son s identity.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Bhajanvir Singh said that the woman was sexually abused when she was between nine and 12 years old. She was then living with her parents and three brothers.

SINGAPORE - Love, says Rachel Lim, shaking her head, is not violence. Love and violence cannot co-exist.
It is advice she wants to dispense to every woman who is in a violent or abusive relationship. Get out. No one should live with violence, says the 29-year-old content strategist.
Her conviction is borne out of experience - she was involved with a brutal man who almost killed her.
In August 2017, when she refused the demands of her former boyfriend - a doctor - for sex, he became so enraged that he smashed her face with his fists, breaking her nose, leaving multiple fractures and causing her brain to bleed.

After a particularly difficult youth, things didn t seem to get better in adulthood for aspiring South Korean actress Cho Ha-na.
On April 15, an Instagram user by the name of plusian don posted a black-and-white photo of himself and Ha-na, with the caption: A nice, young child who dreamed of becoming an actress. At the young age of 23, she turned into a small flower bud and flew up to heaven.
