Teen in coma after hazing ritual has died

 

Caption: Farewell Nong Korn

 

Nong Korn - the M3 student who was kicked in the chest by older boys during a hazing ritual - reportedly died on Thursday morning.

 

Korn had been in a coma since earlier this month when fellow pupils from M6 at Prathom Withayalai School in Nakorn Pathom carried out hazing.

 

Hazing is the practice of performing rituals to welcome new students or recruits into a group. It has often been criticized in Thailand as there have been many cases when it has gone too far.

 

This was one such case. The school has said that the hazing took place off campus. 

 

The police have several teens in custody. 

 

A post on the "Ner Nong Kradone" page on Facebook said that Korn died on Thursday morning after heart failure. CPR over half an hour failed to revive him.

 

Funeral rites are being held at Wat Samrong in Nakorn Chaisri until the cremation next Wednesday.

RIP Young man. I can only hope that this senseless loss of life will bring new attention to this stupid ritual and see it stamped out before others suffer the same fate.

[Denim]

If the perpetrators who did this are not sent to prison for manslaughter it will just further demonstrate just how broken the Thai judicial system is.

 

Way past the time for making an example of those that take this ridiculous ritual too far.

Tragic, so very tragic, the loss of a young man due to the stupidity of others.

As usual the school is refusing to take responsibility ( it took place off campus) pathetic excuse.

Schools should make a rule, any student involved with hazing, gets kicked out.

 

R.I.P. young man, my condolences to his family.

Exactly. The school management should be punished. They surely must know what's going on at their campus, yet do nothing to stop it.

My stomach rolls when I read articles like this and see the picture of that beautiful young boy, not far out of childhood.

 

How sad his family and friends must be. I feel their pain.

Some welcome.

The perpetrators are probably 16-17 years old. They won;t be going to jail here, or in many other countries. Look to Australia for a broken justice system.

It shouldnt be refereed to as "hazing" . it should be called what it is *violent assault*

But, after living here 12 years and seeing this happen over and over and over again - it will unfortunately continue.  A ludicrously small amount of blood money will be paid to the family, wais all around.  No sanctions will be imposed for those who killed this young man or to any others who over the last month have probably engaged in hazing rituals on a daily basis since this kid was put into a coma.  
The institutions overseeing these kids need to get involved - from the schools to the police to the justices system.  But don't hold your breath.    As wore out as this phrase is it still applies - This Is Thailand.  As such, human life is fungible.

SAD & Unnecessary.  Another Wai will fix it.  Such a dam waste. No one cares.  RIP!

In other news: Police in the Northeast province of Buri Ram rounded up 481 street racers this week and also threatened to hold the parents of the youth accountable for negligence resulting in wrongdoing – an offence that is punishable by three months in jail and/or a Bt30,000 fine.

Killing a fellow student is not a big deal.  <shoulder shrug> Mai bpen rai.
Street racing on the other hand will get your parents jail time and a huge fine! 

Go figure that one out?

Murder most foul.

Welcome to your coma!  Very welcoming.  Gives one that warm and fuzzy feeling.  

 

It's just a ritual!  Get over it.

[NightSky]

Hazing is just another word for gang attack

 

I hope the culprits are all charged for murder and this sad event used as an example to all colleges and schools that harbour this evil and horrid excuse for a game

Will all depend on who those individuals are, who related to, who connected to, and which particular officials are responsible. 

 

Unfortunately all those factors will be moderators.

 It's been said before by the authorities that it would be too harsh to kick them out of the school or send them to an adolescent correct entre etc., similar because they are still very young and dismissal, correction centre etc., would ruin their lives. 

 

Sick.

Charge them with murder and not manslaughter as it was deliberate.

 

Then charge all the academic staff as accessories to the murder. 

 

Sack all the senior staff and ban them from teaching ever again, then close the place down.

What a sad and sick post you wrote.

 

The student who died can't get over it and I would think neither would his family and friends.

Would love to meet these "senior" students... and bitch slap them senselessly as a ritual.  Welcome to adulthood, you stupid idiots.

Yeah right.  Hazing only happens in Thailand. Wake up the Thais are just copying from the west where it has been happening for hundreds of years. 

All you serial RIPpers... save it.  If he had survived he would be happily doing the same thing to the next recruit. My condolences.... Really... You think the family of a young Thai lad is going to take any comfort from that..... A  platitude written by an anonymous person on an obscure website.?

Some of you live in fairyland on your keyboards.  Hey, but if it makes you feel better and increases your 'Like' count then I guess he didn't die in vain. 

Sorry,  the truth hurts sometimes.

Meet violence with violence?  You are the same as them.  Maybe they would bitch slap you big time,  hero. It won't be hard to find out who they are with a little research. The OP states the name of the school and where it is.  Please let us know how you get on and when you finish with them you can sort out the jet ski guys and still be home in time for lunch. 

Don't forget the tm30 when you get back home.

It didn't happen on school grounds.  Why should the teachers be held responsible?

How far do you take this.  Fine school management if a student isn't wearing a crash helmet or seat belt on the weekend? 

Steals from 7/11 and it's the schools fault?

I agree more violence is not the answer.

There are many other ways to punish, like jail for 5 years and barred forever from enrolling in any schools etc.

 Totally agree that school management should also be punished strongly, then they would stop their 'didn't happen on campus', 'we didn't know' cop out.

No, dont go that far  , just take action if theres any reports of "hazing" .

After school detention for one hour for the whole year as a punishment  ?
