SINGAPORE - About one in 10 applications for a personal protection order (PPO) was by parents seeking security from their own children, a figure which has remained relatively constant over the past five years.
The Family Justice Courts said that of the PPOs filed by parents against children, around 9 per cent were filed against children who are below 21 years old.
