"What if these were your kids?" - ten year olds pictured cleaning school windows on a ledge

 

Caption: "What if these were your children?"

 

Thai social media was in uproar after pictures were posted online that showed two children standing on tables on a ledge cleaning windows. 

 

The boys - thought to be aged about ten - were pictured on the third floor of a four story building at an unnamed school.

 

Irate netizens mostly slammed the school for allowing such a deplorable thing to happen. 

 

While others said they did a similar thing when they were at Thai school.

 

The pictures were posted by "Suwat Vanichayopakorn".

 

Sanook posed the question in their composite picture: "What if these were your kids?"

Someone must be charged with child endagerment for putting these boys lives and probably a lot more at risk and no pathetic excuses .

And after school, they're driving home on their scooters/motorcycles without using helmets....

Come on no need for folks to get excited, they were only doing it because the teacher was having trouble checking out facebook, because the windows were dirty.????

 

On a more serious note, getting children doing that without any thought to the kids safety, is damn disgraceful.

Having said that, where in Thailand do you ever see anyone giving any thought to safety.

Oh, come on!

No risk- no fun!

Welcome to the Land of No- Rules and stupid ideas!

Next!!!!

The netizens always slam something, its like they never saw these kind of things or worse happen. You don't need to be a teacher at a Thai school to see all sorts of stuff that is happening. Just passing by will do the trick.

It's ok everyone.

I'm sure the furniture they are standing on is top of the range.

You can be sure that was considered before they were sent out on to the ledge.

[Bundooman]

And to think that their parents thought they went to school for a standardeducation.

It's easier to name the countries of Africa and South America that don't have child exploitation...can you name a country in Africa that don't have child exploitation.

[Somtamnication]

Blue pants mean that they are 13+, not primary.

I see that a lot at the other schools.

The kids, who are sent to school to get an education, have to clean while the janitors/cleaners, who are paid to do the cleaning, are either asleep in some hidden corner/room or hiding there glued to their phones. 

Nobody here does what their supposed to do.

Crematorium ?

[soalbundy]

I doubt if that is a 'ledge', more likely a long balcony without railings that isn't used as such, hardly 'mission impossible'

Ledge or balcony that is irrelevant, children should not have been up there in the first place.

[Surasak]

Suwat Vanichayopakorn is maybe going to find himself in deep trouble.

[Oxx]

In a country that doesn't have professional window cleaners it's good to see young people learning a new and innovative trade.  I'd be very happy for them to come around once a fortnight and clean my windows.  Congratulations to the school for trying to equip them with new, marketable skills.
