The child's father, Pitak, enrolled his son in a holiday class when the incident occurred. The tutor, identified as Jit, allegedly struck the boy after he made mistakes in a Thai language exercise, also pulling his ear and hitting his back. Initially dismissive, Pitak took action upon hearing the tutor admit to accidentally causing harm due to losing her temper in the heat, offering 500 baht compensation.
Rejecting the offer, Pitak filed an assault complaint at Mueang Saraburi Police Station, desiring legal proceedings to prevent such occurrences. Following media exposure, other parents shared similar allegations against the tutor, including one case of a child with a cut lip.
Authorities are collecting further evidence and plan to interrogate involved parties.
