He was sleeping and child likely snuck out of the room.  It was early in the morning. 

A 4 year old can unlock a door ?

If that is the case, then the door should have been securely locked so the child could not get out.

Your answer makes it OK for the child to get out.

Either way, the parents are responsible.

What complete BS, These kind of tragedies could happened to anyone.

Yes, anyone that doesn't take care of their child at all times.

It's a parents' duty.

No, there's no mis-pointing. It's very clear that he points at the hole and where he ended up.

Wrong.

A "pointers" purpose is to "point" at the feature of the report.

The drunk druggie is the feature. Not the hole.

And, "double-pointing" is way beyond the average Thai "pointer". 

Pity no "damage-photo" with a "pointer". 

And the next report

"Mis-Pointer" goes globally viral.

""blames wet road for truck slamming into footbridge"" 

How could he have the front to say this ?

Driving at 10-20 kph would not have caused this accident. 

Will the Police accept that excuse ? Depends on you know what.

And where is this video. 

I not see it.

Mother said she was looking after the baby. 

I think she was not looking after the baby.

So the guy stopped thinks he's "above the law" ?? or is "above the law" ??

Can anyone direct the me to the ministers offices for: silly walks, unfathomable idiocy, and cake making ?

2 of the 3 above do have their own designated ministry departments. 

Cake making though, is within the 2nd of the above.

OK ?? 

Sorted. 

Standard Thai behaviour.

ME ME ME.

And no eye contact with the guy in the wheel-chair. That makes it ok.

If he has common sense, are able to read, not drunk, not on drugs and not half asleep. How many drivers tick all those boxes?

I think your comment is under the wrong post.

Don't tell me a sign would have helped that guy????

I don't agree.

If a sign said "No Road" the driver would surely have avoided that stretch.

That's what I can never understand here, like parents worldwide, the Thai love their kids yet are incredibly irresponsible in the duty of keeping them safe. My stepdaughter drives a car with blacked out windscreen which I refuse to drive after dark because it's downright dangerous. No matter how much I threaten and cajole her, she won't get it changed. This is because my wife keeps backing her and says "It's normal here". She's a schoolteacher and thinks the world of our daughter so you'd think she'd back me in this.

Yep.

Western mentality versus Thai mentality.
