Younger brother beats his elder sibling up - and its been going on for ten years

Younger brother beats his elder sibling up - and its been going on for ten years

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Sanook reported on a sad story from a soi in Pathumwan district of Bangkok after pictures of a man covered in cuts and bruises was posted by a neighbor on Facebook. 

 

The man in the pictures is 48 year old Tui whose wife and three kids left him ten years ago after he had an accident and became a burden. 

 

That burden fell on his younger brother - a motorcycle deliver man - who looks after him. 

 

But when he gets drunk the younger brother often assaults his brother - especially when he urinates and defecates on the floor while he is out. 

 

The neighbors tried to stop a particularly violent assault just the other day and the cops were called but no action was taken as the railings were closed. 

 

Neighbors said it had been going on for ten years. 

 

Tui was largely incoherent but told Sanook that his younger brother hit him with a stick because he'd been naughty. 

 

He said he just wanted to stay at home - and he loved his brother to bits.

nnothing but sadness reading this. For those who dont know what its like dealing with people with special needs and have watched too much 'life goes on' they will nto understand the anger. Not for a moment condoning the beatings and cruelty but the usual sanctimonious dribble will no doubt ignore the burden placed on the younger brother.  Again not defending the cruelty justsaying I understand the anger.

So much to superior moral standards, Thainess, and Buddhism ???? ????

Under normal circumstances there are few people capable of being a caregiver, least of all a sole caregiver having the situation thrust upon them. I do not condone any part of this article, but simply saying this can be an incredibly stressful undertaking by the the most patient and loving amongst us.

You spot on 

No health care system 

You can't beat a dog but no problem to beat your family up 

Hard to respect Thai culture and religion 

[pacovl46]

There is an easy fix for that! Every time he beats up his brother all the neighbors should beat up him to give him a taste of his own medicine!

Thank you for your understanding, it is a terrible catch 22 

[Ctkong]

Younger brother is just a delivery man. In Thailand, it is not high up in the salary scale or job description. It is already big fo him to take care of this brother after the brother’s own family rejected him. You got to understand a special needs person can get on the nerve of a non specialist care giver ...

put yourself in his shoes...maybe you could find some compassion for the younger brother too?

such a bs. this is not Thai culture or buddhism.

Thais take care their family. this is a rare happening.

just idiotic and mental behavior of an individual.

It's not rare as in-house fighting between families goes. I see it just in our village. People stealing money from family and running. Brothers getting drunk and beating the shit out of each other. I have seen big open fights over the years in local markets between families. We had a builder when we were building our home have a stoke and his wife and mai noi showed up at the same time as they were putting him into the ambulance and they had a big smash-up, face slapping fight. We have a half brother in our family that is treated like a leaper.

 

So in fighting between family is not rare but beating them black and blue like this is rare. This is just wrong but the State should step in here but they won't.

 

We had an Uncle die years ago and he had dementia. They, the family did not know how to handle him. He just, in the end, forget to eat and no one could make him eat and he died. You need a bit of compassion either side of this story. My mother looked after her special needs mother for 20 years in our home and we had the State helping us but it was still bloody hard. For my mother, it was a very trying time and the older they get (the affected person) and the less control they have of body functions and the further their mind degrades into mush, the harder it gets for everyone. 

 

I certainly do not condone this guy beating his brother but I understand we most likely have a person here that has no training in special needs and most likely is on a very, very limited budget a month. No help is given. For both of them, it is a no win situation. This is where someone needs to step in and help but we have no stop gap like that here.

 

A very sad story.

A very sad story.

i can list many cases from US or UK too from newspapers.

Such cases happen but what i am saying is domestic violence is not very common in thailand.

Wrong again Thailand is now ranked as no.  10 in the world of domestic violence 

The first western country are no.  17

But mostly 1-9 is Muslim countries 

But yes we have problems with domestic violence too sad men think it is OK to beat families or woman up 

I have lived here too for more than 15 years and I can see Thailand getting more and more violent but ofcores we only hear it now because there is more focus on domestic violence now 

Apologies accepted thank you

A few weeks ago, I saw a Thai guy thump his young girlfriend at a 7-11. Just thumped her, she hit the ground, she got up and just got on the back of the motorbike and they both drove off before anyone could do anything. Back in my home country, I worked part-time for a Casino for a while and I saw a lot of similar stuff to that as it revolved around money and alcohol. Mostly I would see drunken family members just lose it and fight amongst each other.  

 

I will admit, when I first came here ten years ago, I did not see anything like this but over the last two-three years, I have been seeing more in our local village but it always comes down to the same things - money and alcohol. 

 

So it is similar worldwide I think - add money problems, drugs, and alcohol into any mix and you're going to have problems. I don't care what anyone says, I worked around alcohol for a very long time and it makes a lot of problems.

I agree with you 

Drugs, alcohol mix with jealousy is a bad combination 

Domestic violence has always been there but more and more countries put more focus on this now
