The lawyer acting for aggrieved parents in the cases of abuse against children at Sarasas Witaed Ratchapruek school in Nonthaburi will be taking them to meet the Attorney General this morning.

 

Ronnarong Kaewpetch said on his personal Facebook account that 20 parents will be seeking more than 120 million baht in damages. 

 

The meeting is set for Building B at the Government Complex in Chaeng Wattana this morning commencing at 9 am. 

 

Daily News reported that there are 58 separate incidents of abuse involving 13 teachers and nannies at the prestigious school.

 

It is part of a large chain where parents at other branches have also expressed their concern. 

 

Some teachers or nannies have already been jailed and other cases are pending in the court.

And I hope the parents win

[colinneil]

Go parents go, screw them for as much as possible.

This gives some hope but not much I fear. While it's good to see some action against these animals, I would even more like to see more of these so-called teachers do jail time.

 

Even if they win the law suits, how many of those being sued will be able to pay such large sums? Probably won't see a satang.

My understanding from reading the OP is that they are taking action against the school, not the individual teachers.

[ChipButty]

I guess no insurance company will cover that.......?

That will come later

[worgeordie]

You'll be lucky...I say you'll be lucky. lawyers giving them

false hope,I would be great if they could win a settlement

and more importantly actually get compensation.

 

When a school,company, person has to pay compensation

if their actions cause harm to someone,thats the only way

anything is going to change for the better, as money speaks

louder than words here.

20 parents want 120 million Baht.   Sure they do that will make them smile. Kids getting a slap , yeah but look at the money.

[CrunchWrapSupreme]

It’s a start. They should be liquidated and shut down.

[mike787]

good luck!

[ezzra]

They say that to ask is not a crime, to get it however, pipe dreams, Thailand is not a country that is favor rewarding citizens in multi million baht claims not to create a precedent for future claims...

If they win, I'm going to dig my old school uniform out, turn up  and arrange to get myself slapped around. 

[DaLa]

I'm not in any way condoning the school or teachers in this situation, but who claims damages against parents that abuse their children?

[JusticeGB]

All very well to ask for huge sums of money if the parties being sued have those resources otherwise the lawyers are leading the poor parents to an empty pot of gold and the lawyers will become richer and the parents become poorer because their lawyers will take an arm and a leg in fees.

That would normally be the public prosecutor who would demand jailtime and fines for the parents when the case ends up in court.

They used to be tight enough when it came to issuing pencils and paper, or even soap when there was hand, foot and mouth outbreaks.  120 million baht will bring on heart attacks lol!

I hope the dinosaur owner is not shifting funds overseas?

[Scouse123]

They haven't a hope in hell of getting compensation or anything with the exception of an apology without sincerity and the possibility of the guilty teacher getting a transfer to another post.

 

I totally agree with another poster saying they are just giving the parents ' false hope ' but in the meantime, pool your funds and resources and pay my fees for a pipe dream.

[amdy2206]

If I was a parent there I would immediately remove my child and encourage all other parents to do the same. Take all the kids out and leave all the schools empty promoting the reason. Would NEVER leave my son in that environment.
