Intentional Harm/Murder: If the abandonment is deliberate and done with the intent to cause harm or kill the child, it is treated as Manslaughter or Murder. Depending on the specific circumstances and intent, this can result in 3 to 15 years imprisonment, up to 20 years imprisonment, or the death penalty.  Negligence: If the death is caused by reckless neglect rather than deliberate harm, the charge falls under negligence resulting in death, which carries a maximum penalty of up to 10 years imprisonment.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 23:42:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Has Thailand Ruined Casual Dating?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396564-has-thailand-ruined-casual-dating/?do=findComment&comment=20549021]]></link><description>Agree, My last lover in the UK, I was 52, she was 23 ..........</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 23:41:27 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>El Ni&#xF1;o Returns, Raising Risk of Global Weather Extremes</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396555-el-ni%C3%B1o-returns-raising-risk-of-global-weather-extremes/?do=findComment&comment=20549020]]></link><description>Here I though we were already in an 'El Nino', and don't think we can get any more rain.

In the UK the Wind has become the largest single contributor to the UK&#x2019;s energy supply so that's why there is excess and therefore cheaper electricity at night.  Australia boasts the highest per capita solar generation in the world, heavily driven by rooftop installations on residential homes making electricity prices go negative in the middle of the day.

Before that came 28 years of British and Russian occupation and intervention with pressure and control. Iran&#x2019;s distrust of foreign powers did not come from nowhere.   The Pahlavi family who ruled Iran since 1925, did not come from an ancient royal line. Reza Khan rose with British help, and his son&#x2019;s rule was later restored and strengthened by Britain and the US.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 23:38:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>I think people are wishing they had voted for Kamala.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396299-i-think-people-are-wishing-they-had-voted-for-kamala/?do=findComment&comment=20549014]]></link><description>How did you react to getting a lobotomy?</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 23:38:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump claims he tanked the economy on purpose</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396482-trump-claims-he-tanked-the-economy-on-purpose/?do=findComment&comment=20549013]]></link><description>A possibility and not a pleasant thought.

Get today's headlines by email   At 03.30 on 12 June 2026, Mr Ferdy Andree Singels, 53, a Dutch national, accompanied by a Thai female friend, filed a complaint with investigators at Pattaya City Police Station. He suspected that a group of ladyboys had stolen his gold necklace while he was walking along Pattaya Beach between Soi 7 and Soi 9.  According to the victim&#x2019;s friend, Mr Singels left his hotel in Pattaya Soi 9 at approximately 00.45 to take a walk along the beachfront. He walked from Soi 9 towards Central Pattaya when he was approached by a group of two to three ladyboys.  The group reportedly struck up a conversation, hugged him and allegedly offered sexual services. Mr Singels declined the offer, and the group then left the area.  At the time, the tourist did not realise that any property was missing. However, after returning to his hotel and checking his belongings, he discovered that the gold chain he had been wearing had disappeared.  He subsequently concluded that the ladyboys may have taken advantage of the close physical contact to remove the necklace before leaving the scene. He then travelled to Pattaya City Police Station to report the suspected theft.  Police investigators have coordinated with the station&#x2019;s investigation unit to inspect the location where the incident allegedly occurred. Officers are also reviewing CCTV footage from nearby cameras in an effort to identify those involved and gather further evidence.  Authorities are now working to establish the movements of the suspects and determine whether the incident may be linked to any similar reports in the area. No arrests had been reported at this time. The investigation remains ongoing, and police are continuing efforts to trace and locate the suspected offenders for further legal action.   Picture courtesy of SiamChon  Join the discussion?

It's about an ambitious wrestling team in one the worst high schools in Alabama focusing on the characters of the athletes and their families all facing poverty and emotional challenges, etc. The ending is poignant. It's not quite as brilliant as Natchez but also set in the deep south, you can see how the director developed over time.
