Popular Post webfact Posted June 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2021 Picture: Sanook Police and local officials were perplexed after someone found a seven year old child wandering the beach in the dark at Bang Saen. The child - named only as "A" - was crying for her mummy and was largely incoherent. The cops put out an APB on Facebook. It was nearly midnight before Orn, the child's mother, was reunited with her daughter. She had reached Bangkok - about 100 kms away - before she realised she was daughter-less. The child's grandmother explained to Sanook that it had been a family outing in two cars from Bangkok. "A" was with her stepdad and mum first of all then switched to gran's vehicle after a bit of mid-journey merit making at a temple. After a fun day at the popular beach both her mum and her gran thought A was in the other car. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-24 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnB1945 Posted June 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2021 Poor Girl, quite traumatic! According to the Bible, Mary and Joseph forgot Jesus and had to go back to the temple for him. Took them over a day to miss him. So Christians should not complain about bad parenting. Atheists can complain though. 4 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Never trust the Thai Grandparents and expect ‘western’ standards of responsibility. Thai grandparents are simply innocently ignorant to responsibility, and it appears some Thai Parents. I got caught out once: We were out for dinner at an outdoor community style shopping mall with the Grandparents, my Son was 3. Both Grandparents walked out of the restaurant with my Son without saying anything. I stopped them an asked where they were going.... into a nearby shop was the reply. I asked my Wife why the need to take our son with them, and then figured, what can go wrong, they are adults and they’ll only be next door. 3 mins later my son walks back to the restaurant alone - Grandmother figured Grandfather was watching my Son, Grandmother figured Grandfather was watching my son, they’d both gone off to the Toilet alone thinking my Son was with the other. I was absolutely livid.... Grandparents had not been trusted alone with my Son before that, they were never trusted alone with our Son again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeedwards Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Taught my son both my wife's and my phone numbers in case such a situation should occur. I'm hoping that myself and my wife are never dumb enough for this to ever happen, but I can recall a friend's kid getting into a lift at central before his parents could get in. It can happen to the best of us. It's not ideal, but knowing a phone number may save a lot of stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem11 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) At the beach alone. These panicky moments do occur. I lost my 20 year old daughter in Istanbul while we were boarding a ferry to Hydrapasha. She had got on earlier, but she could have been wandering that lonely ferry depot in Gelaty.

xtrnuno41 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Well at least she was not left in a car. USA has about 40 DEAD kids/year left in car and forgotten, fried. It happens everywhere in the world, however i think incredible. Surelynot even proves it, not in heat but cold, as winters in NY can be cold, then you also can die. Happily he had a secretary, reminding him on the cargo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of crazy but this does happen, in fact when Cameron was the prime minister they somehow left his daughter behind at a local pub - and that's with all the extra security while serving as PM! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Innocently happened to me a long time ago [before mobile phones]. Went night time fishing with my father & brother to a beach about 30 minutes drive from home. About 3am we decided to give it rest and go home, walked back to the car in a grassy un-lit area at the top of the cliff, stashed all the stuff in the boot. I opened the back door to get in, then decided to have a quick pee before going home. As i was away from the car in the dark they drove off without me. Dad came back about an hour later, they'd made it home before realising I wasn't there, brother had gone to sleep in seconds as per normal and Dad just stayed quiet thinking I'd done the same in the back seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 5 hours ago, KhunBENQ said: Don't bash too hard. More than once in Germany a family member been forgotten at the service area. This is a true story. A Polish person living in Germany died and the family decided to take him back to Poland for burial, secured on the roof of the car in some way. I think it was an expense thing more than anything. And on the way they stopped at a service station and the car was stolen. A good friend who knew the family told me this and I have no reason to doubt it, but I don't remember asking how it ended. I assume the car and/or the body were recovered. What they were doing, by the way, is illegal I think, but they took a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
