I feel sorry for your that your dad did not have the guts or interest to stand up for you. Mine always did and so I do for my daughter. Seems to be a bit of an issue with social development. If you think, that this incident did not carve a long lasting impression then you must seriously lack a sense of fairness and just -- maybe linked to your own scars (see above). I am lost of what you try to say here: When bad things happened in the woods 50 years ago, we consider them ok? Why not go back to a good old flaying? I mean, THAT would teach them -- right? Cancer is a big issue. War is a big issue. A 6 year old in wrong clothes is NOTHING. Not in any culture or any country. And don't say "Thailand", there are actually excellent schools in Thailand and very educated people. Sure, do that to my kid and there would be definitely implications. If there is any problem with a student, big or small, the CALL THE PARENTS and hold them accountable. If you touch a 6 year old (unless there is immediate danger to prevent), then you are unfit for any job, but especially as a teacher. Ask yourself a simple question: Would they have dared doing the same on a 16 year old student (not too wimpy)? I guess not and this demonstrates all what went wrong here: its pure bullying and abuse of power.

"LINE" is not any proper form of communication at the first place. Letter, e-mail or phone with at least 24 hours notice -- or it did not happen.

Serve yourself as you like, I have a very different opinion on that. And everyone in "our" school knew that. They dared to stroke my daughter exactly 1 time 6 years ago -- after that according to her, nobody ever touched a child there again (at least until she left 3 years ago.) And no, its not a Thai or culture problem. Its a problem of savages. She attends now a better school in Chiang Mai and suddenly such issues don't exist.

I don't think the teacher has been punished yet in anyway because I did not read a word about an industrial stapler gun. https://gearsofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Industrial_Staple_Gun?file=Industrial_Staple_Gun_2.jpg

What's wrong with that?

Those mechanisms exists everywhere: Call the Commissioner of Police and there will be apologies and punishment. Of course, when you are without your phone and constraint to your un-inflamable mattress in a police cell in Germany -- and suddenly burn to ashes, then this is no-ones fault and definitely no case of corruption. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Oury_Jalloh

I have never made any bad experience with any police anywhere in the world. Most of the time, it is a matter of how you approach them: Talk family first, then mourn about economy and bad wages. Then tell them how your wife makes life a hell by nagging all time an beating your nerves. It's all <deleted>, but they do love this kind of "dancing". Thai police always treated me with utmost respect and I do not mind to support their welfare fund from time to time. Laos police always treated me nicely and so I am glad to help them out. Nigerian police is mafia and its good to know some people, just in case. But never any bad experience. They are all just people trying to make a living. Respect and accept that and you will be fine.
