Picture: Thai Rath

 

Thai Rath reported on a case in which a Korat man had driven a van loaded with 6 girls and young women south on the Asia Highway.

 

Lamae police in Chumphon province responded after a 191 call was made just after midnight Tuesday by one of the girls from the toilets of a Bang Jak gas station.

 

She was "Fah" aged just 14 and claimed she had been tricked into going to work in Phuket.

 

Others in the Toyota van were three women aged 19, one aged 17 and another aged 14.

 

They were on their way to work in Phuket as admin for an online company.

 

Everyone was taken to Lamae police station. 

 

Some had sought their parents' permission, some had not.

 

Driver Suksan Phrompha, 63, has been charged with removing a minor from the custody of parents - abduction essentially.

 

The children are now back in Nakhon Ratchasima as Sung Noen police there widen the inquiry.

What a brave young girl for making that call, she deserves a medal. As for the driver, he had better be squealing like a pig to save his own backside............. Or he will be squealing like a pig for his backside elsewhere!~!~!

 

Despicable.

Don't believe that at all, great that the Police took notice of the young

girl , and did something quickly about it..

regards Worgeordie

Very brave of he girl.
But the girls now in the hands of the worst perpetrators in history (the police), I fear that they will get a good beating up and be send back to Phuket to do their stuff.

I remember the story of the 14-year old girl who was abused by her employers and aroused with hot water who did go to the police and the police send her back to the mongrels where she was punished for aleting the police.
As far as I remember, the mongrels are still living their good life somewhere without ever been followed by the police.

The stupidity for getting in the van to start with.

Did anyone bother to inquire how the driver intended to get the girls on to Phuket through road blocks  at the Sarasin Bridge  , AND  , presumably WITHOUT  evidence of Antigen ( or any ) test ? They may well not have even been vaxed yet !

Couldnt be corruption there  at the check point could there be ?

If so , and  coupled with People Smuggling  its criminality of the highest order !

Admin for an online company. Explain to me how any parent gives permission for their 14-yeard-old to work in another city. This isn't a local market or a paper route. Not faulting the kid at all, but the judgement of the parents. Poverty or not, it's the job of the parents to support their children, not the other way around.

Dude!  You actually believe she was lured into the van?  Perhaps he waved a candy bar at her?

 

She was more likely sold by her parents.

Thanks Iron Tongue, I am sure that many posters on here forget that, people are still taking 2000 

baht for their teen aged daughter to leave home and earn them some money.

  Thailand is a developing country with issues, and this would still be one of them issues.

Geezer

That's admirable. But I would say it was different times when she was 14. Not to say there weren't predators out there... but nowadays? I'll stand by the statement.

yep many of them had a  work ethic for starters, life was  harder she had 2  jobs and studied, many simply  now  bone idle

Strange story, wasn't forced to go by him, allowed to keep their phone, rings the cops, but not her parents, seems the parents need investigating along with him. 

14 is to young.  she should be at home studying for exams.
