Police in Krabi are hunting for the driver of a pickup truck who struck and killed two adolescent boys riding a motorcycle and failed to stop.

 

The boys, 14 and 12 years old, who have not been identified, were killed just after midnight on Sai Khao-Klong Thom Road in the village of Ban Klong Raed, Klong Thom district.

 

Pol Lt Col Phanom Nualla-ong cited witness reports indicating they were among a group of 50 young motorcyclists who had arrived at the location at high speed and were making a U-turn.

The parents of the two boys should be prosecuted for allowing the children to be riding a motorcycle out on the open roads.

Very sad for the boys.  The parents ...  ???!!!

 

I used to let my younger son host LAN parties at our house, where they would all play computer games and hang out in a safe environment.  No drugs, no B.S.  Older boy was never a problem, but got himself killed in Iraq with the U.S. Marines at age 20.  So I know about loss.  What were these parents thinking?

Underage, unlicensed, after midnight?? Obviously no parental supervision.

50 punks out terrorizing the neighbourhood.

I agree about  a parenting issue which is incredibly commonplace in Thailand but I don't know what law the parents broke   which leads them to prosecution.

 

Do you know of a prosecutable  law they broke?

Perhaps contributing to the delinquency of a minor?

RIP young lads but sorry to say last night whilst driving in the dark on route 12 near the turn to Loei, a similar gang of young motorcyclists were road racing wearing no helmets and weaving in and out of the traffic. Several had no rear lights and all I could see in my headlights were dark images swaying in front of me - it was extremely dangerous.

You forgot no insurance

Parents are indeed culpable in this as well for gross negligence / irresponsibility.  Driving around after the sun goes down is a fool's errand as so many dangers lurk with many running around (on / in substandard vehicles) as fast as possible to go to get food, ferry kids around or get intoxicated ... little wonder that 5-9 pm is carnage time and later on you have the really dangerous drivers around.
