特首林鄭月娥今天在專訪中以一個關愛孩子的母親自比，並認為她在百萬人遊行反對「逃犯條例」的修訂，數以萬計的年輕人走在抗爭最前缐下，堅持修例，是不想縱容「任性」的孩子。

我們是一群香港的母親，但我們絕不會以催淚彈、具殺傷力的橡膠子彈及布袋彈攻擊我們的孩子。我們也不會看到年輕人在警棍下血流披面仍無動於衷。

何況人民不是特首你的孩子；人民不需要你的施捨，只要你作為一區之首，作為一個公僕，用心聆聽各方聲音，並作出適當、適時的回應。

要多自大的人，才會覺得103 萬人的訴求是「任性」的？

要多自大的人，才會覺得三千名法律界人士的擔憂是「任性」的？

特首也是二子之母，如果你以愛自己孩子的心，以同理心想一想，現在走在抗爭最前缐的年輕人，他們的父母有何感受。

特首，香港的孩子不用你作他們的母親。他們要你當一個負責任的政府領導人，積極回應巿民大眾反對「逃犯條例」修訂的訴求，立即擱置或撤回條例。

我們這群母親，正在為孩子的美好將來而努力，希望孩子在自己的家園生活，有免於恐懼的自由。現在我們以香港市民的身份，以人人平等的尊嚴，請你把政治公關技倆放下，以行動證明你真心關愛我們的年輕人。

In a broadcasted interview on 12 June 2019, Chief Executive Carrie Lam used the analogy of a doting mother to compare the current situation in Hong Kong with herself. She said that despite there being a 1 million-strong protest on 9 June and tens of thousands of young people protesting at the frontlines of LegCo, she fully insists on passing the extradition bill, saying that she is doing this so as to not spoil “wayward” children.

We are a group of mothers from Hong Kong, but we absolutely will not use deadly weapons such as tear gas, rubber bullets, or bean bag rounds to attack our children. We also find it difficult to see how someone can be indifferent and apathetic to images of young people being beaten with batons, and suffering from serious and bloody wounds.

After all, the citizens of Hong Kong are not your children — what the people need is not your handouts, but, instead, what they need is for you, the head of this city and a civil servant, to listen to views from all sides of society, and to make appropriate and timely responses.

How egoistic must one be, to say that the voices of 1.03 million people is “wayward”?

How egoistic must one be, to say that in expressing their concerns over the bill, that 3,000 members of the legal sector are "wayward"?

You are also a mother of two. If you truly treat Hong Kong residents as your own children, or even just simply stand in the shoes of the many parents of Hong Kong, you will understand, with some empathy, just how heartbreaking it is to see our young people fighting for their own future at the frontlines.

Ms. Lam, the children of Hong Kong do not need you to be their mother. Instead, they need you to be a responsible and accountable leader, who proactively responds to the overwhelming public dissent that has been expressed over the extradition bill, and makes the right decision to shelve or withdraw the bill.

We, as mothers, work extremely hard to build a better future for our children. We see a future where our children can live in their homeland, free from fear. We hereby appeal to you, as Hong Kong residents, as equals, to stop hiding behind your false political sob story to gain our sympathy — we want you to take action to show that you truly care about our younger generation.
