Father Suspects Foul Play in Daughter's Nursery Death

A Thai father, Sathit, reported suspicions of foul play after his 10-month-old daughter, Palita, died at a nursery in Chon Buri. The nursery, located in the Samet sub-district, claimed Palita choked on milk and failed to provide CCTV footage, citing technical issues. This incident prompted Sathit to approach Samet Police Station on February 16, as he rejected monetary compensation and sought answers.

Sathit entrusted the nursery, paying 7,500 baht monthly and supplying necessary items for Palita’s care, including milk powder and nappies. He was granted access to security cameras to monitor his daughter. On the day of the tragic event, Sathit received a call notifying him of Palita's death and her subsequent transport to Chon Buri Hospital.

Despite the nursery's offer of compensation, Sathit declined, emphasizing his desire for clarity over finances. He requested CCTV footage to verify the circumstances stated by the nursery. However, he was informed of a malfunction preventing access to footage, which deepened his mistrust.

Provincial Police Region 2 is actively investigating the case, gathering evidence from the nursery. As of now, the results of the autopsy remain pending. Authorities continue to explore the validity of Sathit's claims and examine the nursery's operations to assess compliance and accountability, reported The Thaiger.
