It is all scam as amulets are worthless.. It is what value  people give to it, but in fact it is all worthless

Everything is worthless, but relies on what the person who buys wants to pay.

If you are in the military, and you get posted elsewhere, you go where you are sent. It is not as if you get a choice in the matter.

Letters?

Leaving children you made and not taking responsibility of those children until they can fend for themselves, makes you a sperm donor. Kids will always know who loves them, and who is faking it. This man helped for a year, which is okay, as it wasn't his responsibility. A man who wants to be a dad stays. His agenda lied elsewhere. Not wanting to stay here is a reason, as well as family back home. Coming back now is just a friend of the moms. The girl and this man can have a relationship any way they want.

The real Gs are those who haven't missed a day in 26 years and counting.

If you build a bond with your stepchild, then divorce, it's still your obligation to continue to have a relationship with that stepchild, if they want one.  Kids need all the love they can get, and when a stepdad makes an effort to love that child, the child will never forget it. They might be the only real parent the child has.

Staying with a mother and baby until 1 year old is admirable, it's not father is it, they won't even remember the interaction.

And like the article says, he then left, now you cannot do that as a real Dad can you

Thank you for taking the time to offer an explanation. Technically  then, he is not the father. He was just a caregiver who acted as a father figure for 1 year. Admirable and all that, but in the absence of an adoption he is not the father, nor should he be called a father. 

Yeah, all seems a bit creepyish.

Maybe the mother remarried since and somebody else brought her up.

Some bloke turning up who the mother was with for no longer than 2 years 40 odd years ago, for me is creepy.

End of the day a women you fall in love with or marry who has a kid already they are a package, as soon as you split with the mother you finish with the kid.

Brutal and unfair but that's the way it is in my book.

He was not the real father so not sure about this article. Better to chase the scumbag who made her pregnant.

Yeah totally misleading, seems was just a bloke who fell in love with a women who was already pregnant then left after 1 year, so wasn't the father and didn't raise her either, then left.

So what's the point in it all.

Crock of <deleted> as a father myself 

Crock of <deleted>, you cannot enter the border and get a 1 year permission to stay for a starters

 My bank abolished online banking and said that customers should use their banking app. I will never do that. Fortunately I had already chosen to get a text message if there are withdrawals exceeding 5000 Baht. Of course that was set up through online banking. This is for a passbook account.

 

If customers want to get such a text message service, can they set this up at their bank branch, or is the only option using the banking app? The latter would be bad, since once a banking app has been downloaded, that might open the customer up to illicit withdrawals, even if he/she deleted the app right after setting up the text message service. That's my fear, anyway.

Generally speaking most Banking apps will only let you use it with the registered mobile number which is checked everytime you start the app, there is an option to use wifi but if you turn that option off then you can only use mobile data which check the phone number using the app.

They should fire the headmaster for sure, bully the poor hey.

They are already paying him less than minimum wage which I believe is about 350 baht a day, so that's over 12k a month

If his sentence was reduced to 20 years, the maximum under Thai Law how was his original sentence 50 years.

Confusing!!

That is the issue, Mom & Pop wake up early to go and earn a Thai wage leaving the kids to drive alone, 100 baht a day from a menial Thai wage would be a massive chunk of their daily income, this is why the police even at school gates ignore the infraction, they understand the background.

Well technically speaking the kids are meant to go to school withing a small proximity of the house, so as another poster said walk of you cannot afford it or sell the bike and get a bicycle

They all seem to be able to afford those.

If the kid doing it without knowledge then chain the wheels.

If it's not to far, they could walk, that's what i did.

Yeah bit far for walking but yes , we all had to do that back in the day like ungrateful kids nowadays who are lazy

Keep telling my kids I did a paper round all week, 2 on a Sunday and a milk round mate on a Saturday before.

How many Thai families could afford a Bolt taxi twice a day 5 days a week???

Depends where they live in relation to the school, my son gets a Bolt bike and it's 50 baht each way

I know this stretch of road and they could do with more lights.

Saying that how can you not see a person, I disagree with prosecuting the parents unless they willingly let the girls drive the bike.

My daughter does the same despite my best efforts to stop her I will get reports of her being spotted on the back of her mates bike which is very worrying.

One thing they could also do is to stop anybody who doesn't have a license from driving into school and as a fair few use a bike to get to school.

My son at 15 has just started at a college and there loads of bikes in the car park, no way they all got a license so strict enforcement from schools may ensure that kids get a license aswell as parents keep driving to drum it into them how dangerous it is.

I will not allow my son to get a bike ATM even though he is constantly pestering me I make him get a Bolt taxi to school 

Just the mere word of "Corruption" in the article presents a red flag

Looks like it's for under 6s so what's that got to do with combat drugs
