webfact Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Video: Family seek justice from director after 10 year old is severely burned at school in Kalasin The director of a school in Kalasin forced a young boy to carry molten asphalt to repair a road in the school, a family has claimed. The ten year old carried the asphalt in a cut off container but it spilled onto his arm and hand leaving him with horrific injuries. He still faces the possibility of being permanently handicapped by what happened. The director - now retired - has refused to accept responsibility for the incident. Now the family of Sorawit or Ton Nao have appealed to the Damrongdhama watchdog for justice in the case. They are a poor family and want compensation for what happened to the child. A video on TNA showed a reconstruction of the incident at Nongphokwittayayon School in Don Jan district of Kalasin in Thailand's north east. Mother Anong, 41, said her son, now on school holidays, was made to carry the asphalt by the director on July 24th. They were repairing cracks. She showed a cub scout uniform still stained with the sticky substance. Efforts to seek compensation failed and the director has now retired.

Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted October 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2019 If the director told him to do it then he and the school are responsible. His retirement shouldn't come into it. All schools should have a duty to protect their students against any foreseeable danger, not put them directly in harms way. 29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the director should not have been using any students (any age) to do this work, the director should have engaged adult labour staff (use the kids, no costs, more money left in the available trough). 10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the water had boiled out. Too busy gabbing on the phone. When asked she claimed the "gas was too powerful today". And she's a teacher with M.Ed and B.Ed degrees! Face trumps everything. And ludicrous lengths are gone to to protect it, in their mind! 3 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point however I suspect Khun Paneva doesn't search for situations like this but she does react strongly and quickly when she's alerted to such incidents. And to her credit the senior police listen to her (in fact I suspect the police are frightened of her).

Popular Post hotchilli Posted October 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2019 So why haven't the police come forward to investigate an act of this nature.. a lot is wrong in this country... the school refuses to take responsibility, the director has no morals & is now retired (which makes no difference) and the school education board is as ever very silent ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian2f2f Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 This would be a time where chinese judicial system would be very helpful. File police report and a 99% chance that be convicted of every crime the police can come up with to charge the school and former director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai way is to blame everything on fate. It was meant to happen, the victim must have done something bad in a previous life (often the Thai attitude towards invalids). That way, no-one is to blame for anything, ever. The best cop-out possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that because when she visited Pattaya nearly twenty years ago, she "saw no evidence of prostitution". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0815 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 So 10 year old kids have to repair a road at school. Wonder if this is part of their school education ... Director is pissing off instead of showing responsibility. Why I am not surprised about ? The family is asking for compensation of which the poor young boy will not see a single bath anyway. NICE ! I hope young man, you will recover quite well without being handicapped and in pain for the rest of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A school director, someone who the boy probably looked up to. I hope he doesn't grow up feeling the same way about youngsters as the director obviously does. Very sad.

You are of course correct but what's worse, look at the supposed re-enactment. The child is carrying the container over his shoulder with the spout in the horizontal position allowing for a spill if the cap was either not on the container, loose or came off. Surely lack of supervision is at fault here....He's 10!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert, but would have thought the asphalt would melt the container? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
