Son Ends Up In Hospital After Mum Assaults Him Because She Missed Him So Much

A Neston, Cheshire mum brutally assaulted her only child after she became jealous of him leaving her home and moving in with his girlfriend.

Pauline Randles, 57, punched her son Simon in the face and kicked him in the leg after telling him that his partner Lauren Stocker was ‘taking him away from her’.

Over a six-week period, Pauline embarked on a campaign of terror against her son, who had recently qualified as an officer with British Transport Police. In one abusive text, she told him:

‘I wish you were aborted – I wish you were sacked from your job.’

Gee, thanks mum! Pauline also threatened to take an overdose of prescription medication if he failed to see her ‘immediately’ and sent pictures of a kitchen knife saying she would slit her wrists with it.

Eventually Simon, who is in his 30s, had to be admitted to hospital due to stress. He now suffers from anxiety and depression and asked for a restraining order saying the ‘situation had gone on for far too long.’

Simon previously had a good relationship with his mum but things went sideways last year after he met his girlfriend. It got so bad that Simon repeatedly asked his mum to stop contacting him.

However, trouble soon flared up when Pauline was having trouble installing an app on her phone to pay utility bills. She asked Simon but he refused, so she went to her brother Ronald’s house to try and get him to do it, but he wouldn’t let her in. She obviously has bad form if her own brother doesn’t want to see her either…

Simon then received an SOS call about the situation so being a good son he raced over with girlfriend Lauren in tow (big mistake). According to prosecutor Ashleigh Simpson at Warrington Magistrates Court, here’s how that played out:

‘As he arrived at the address in a car, he saw his mother on the kerb and she came over to him, saying “Why are you here? Why is Lauren here? If I see Lauren I will kill her.”

Terrified, the girlfriend tried to drive off but Pauline blocked the car, with Simon taking her hand to try and get her out of the way.

‘She attempted to resist him by kicking him in the leg and punching him in the face. He had to restrain her on the ground. The defendant continued to attempt to kick him as did this.’

In mitigation for Pauline, defence lawyer Howard Jones said:

‘She obviously felt very isolated and would say that the new girlfriend was preventing [her son] going around and helping with anything. She was getting more isolated and depressed and was drinking.

Simon Randles used a police restraint on his mother and she did struggle a bit and was trying to get him off her.

She didn’t want her son to come to court so she pleaded guilty. She is very frustrated by the whole situation.

This is an isolated elderly lady at home with no previous convictions. She has then sent some text messages which she has regretted thereafter.

It is perhaps unfortunate that police had not spoken to Mrs Randles originally and given her a warning about the text messages before coming to the stage of being convicted of this offence. A restraining order will be like a bullet to her heart, because that period will include Christmas.’

Elderly lady? She’s 57 ffs. Well anyway, Pauline was fined £120, ordered to complete a 12-month community order, and was banned from contacting Simon for 18 months. So I guess whether they spend Christmas together is entirely up to him. Wouldn’t bank on it though.
