Too many risks and they don't even look good.

The victim was waiting at home?

By selling it ? I imagine it was part of the scam that if you send that much you'll get the iPad plus all your money back.

Possibly because it is an English language news site that generally caters to foreigners. It's a case of personal interest to know the nationality of the people involved, since it could be locals or it could be foreigners. Most people want to know some details of the events. Sex, age, race, relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, etc.. News is primarily for entertainment, after all.

Why can't the mother stop her?

From the article: Sounds like a story concocted to try to reduce culpability. I wonder what really happened? She rejected him, perhaps?

They know they can get away with it. They're protecting a Thai person and Thai tourism. They have little regard for the Japanese women's welfare.

Sad the kind of men Thai women seem to be fighting over...

Is that how we decide the law? "Wouldn't you want revenge if it was your family?" If anyone violently assaulted a member of my family, I may wish to kill them. So is death a suitable punishment for assault?

totally agree ..... she sounds like a nasty piece of work .... she knew this was going on for years and did nothing. Nonsense, read the full article properly, she was not aware of the abuse until she was told by her sister after the child confided in her. Many Thai parents have little time for their children. Add to that the great trust given to "family". It's perfectly possible that if the child showed no obvious "signs", the mother didn't know. Unfortunately, child predators are able to convince their victims that they have a genuine relationship or that something bad will happen to their family if they tell. It could be possible that the uncle "watched" the child regularly and the rest of the family simply thought he was being a good uncle. It would be hard to pass up some free child care from a family member who they believed they could trust. All very sad, but also very common.

How would it be proven true without a trial?

You appear very hostile. I don't wish to be baited into some sort of confrontation.

You mean when someone makes a claim, they should back it up with evidence?

Or if he called her a "lying dog-faced pony soldier".

I find you very hostile. I won't be baited by you. Play games with someone else.

If you don't see how you're being dishonest, I don't think there's anything I could say to make you see sense.

You're entitled to your opinion, of course, and it isn't surprising that you're willing to lie to try to shape the narrative and get what you want, but people are going to challenge you, so be ready for that. ????‍♂️

There is no room for facts in the minds of the never-Trumpers. They couldn't care less about what the population thinks or what is best for them. It's simply a case of hating Trump, not that they actually care about the person in power being good.

Nothing to say about what I actually said? Shocking! ????

So you have no evidence to support your claim?

The fact that people are desperate to cover it all up and excuse everything that is happening, stretching the meanings of "gaffs" and "speech impediment" to near breaking point, simply because they hate Donald Trump, is not a good sign, that's for sure.

Where is the evidence to support this claim? But he won't falter, right???

Unfortunately this is how tribalism has made some people. Desperate to pin the slightest thing on their enemy to discredit them, while being willing to excuse the most ridiculous behaviours from their own leaders. I think the funniest thing is how similar Trump, Biden and even Clinton are in so many ways, but judgement, responsibility and consequences are apparently only things that Trump has to face.

Any rationally person who was experiencing a similar level of "gaffs" or "speech impediments", would go to a doctor.

Guess the railroad across the Indian Ocean comment was a weird sense of humor. Biden could fall to the ground, soil himself, start whimpering and shouting random incoherent words while swatting at imaginary flies, and these people would say it's nothing but a speech impediment. They can't admit that Biden has any sort of cognitive problem, age-related or otherwise. Their brains simply won't allow it.
