Not sure where you live; but, Issan people have no problem feeding poison to "roaming" dogs.

I would ask the owner of the dog to commit suicide as recompense.

Then negotiate from that point.

How much does the dog owner value their own life? because they're worth less than a 4-year-old daughter.

Try to use intelligence or go back to bed.

First demand, always too high and not expected to be paid. Now negotiate. Guess (after 35 yrs here), 300,000 for family, 50,000 for family's temple. Maybe "kathin" for one son of dog owner. The child is gone. Money will not bring her back. Everyone knows. It's now about penance, reconciliation and continuing. If you idiot farang don't get it go home.

Couldn't agree more, no amount of money will make up for the child's life, However, it is viewed differently in Thailand and no, I am not a Thai basher, just stating the facts.

So why is monetary compensation acceptable in the West? Explain?

The officer said it was separate.

 

If compensation has been agreed by both parties, the judge will take it into account. This is the way it works, like it, or not.

 

Compensation payments should have no impact on sentencing in a case like this.

So you disagree with life insurance, when a person is killed. The family should get nothing, right? Idiot!

So what do Western countries do when a child is killed by a dog?  Check the law, and come back.

You are entitled to your opinion, but maybe the parties involved think differently.

Wow,  what an absolute lack  of humour on your side, even if it was a little on the black side.

Children are generally an expense, not a net source of income although one would assume they might produce income for the family eventually, but who can say.

 

How you put a price on the emotional loss is anyone’s guess really.

More than likely destroy the dog and prosecute the owner, next corny question.

In fairness the owner of the dogs never said those words, it’s editors interpretation.

 

she said she did not have this kind of money.

 

what I find more pathetic is the mother not only putting a value on her kids life and asking for money but value daughters life that cheap .

It's the Thai way money

Obviously, unless ,you are brainless, don't go by the house, or carry a dog "repellent" eg big stick, umbrella (my favorite weapon ) or mace.  What do you do about mosquitoes? Complain to the owner or spray them?

Right. Destroy the animal (difficult in Buddhist Thailand), prosecute the owner, which will happen. Then compensation agreed by all parties. Gee sounds just like a "real country" ????

I doubt the Thai lawmakers are reading your opinions. 

What would be the penalty in your country for this offence? Would the family of the deceased get compensation? Would the courts care about the opinion of a long term tourist?

[jgarbo]

Amazing how the spectators - ignorant farang voyeurs - are more heated than the victims. Ah the thrill of blood, that's not theirs.

Do not agree. I have more than a few dogs and truth being told many kids tornment dogs either fur fun or out of stupidity and parents watch and laugh .

I never made this experience here. Maybe because I have some german sheperd dogs and everyone is scare very much about they. They been trained very well and listen what my wife, sons and me say.    

 

But believe me, if your dogs not fenced they will run and catch this kids. This is the nature. If dogs grow up together with kids, they will take it more easy. But not everytime.

In europe people walk with their dogs, meet other dog owners, their kids & dogs play with other dogs together and the dogs are much more socialized but sometimes dogs bites and kill someone.

You must be a tourist. This is a community matter. We don't need the UN or the ICC. Local cops will sort it out.

I know that the punishment for a child being savaged by dogs wouldn't be lessened by the fact one side had given money to the other.

Poison the dog. It might save the life of your child.
