[webfact]

 

 

77kaoded reported that a 35 year old man in Samut Prakan was stressed out after his wife left him for the provinces.

 

He got drunk and took his eight year old child hostage at knifepoint. 

 

It happened in a car parking lot in Soi Patraniwet in Bang Muang sub-district.

 

It took an hour before the man gave up the child to his mother and laid down his weapon.

 

 

North Samrong police had been alerted to the incident at 2.30 am yesterday.

 

The suspect was taken to calm down at the police station.

 

He wants his wife back to help him look after their children.

 

The father of the man spoke of a long history of trouble between his son and his wife stretching back ten years. 

 

His son had assaulted her frequently so it was no wonder she wanted to get out of the abusive relationship. 

 

His son had been bone idle since she left, she was the family bread winner.

I know it's been beaten to death recently but that's signs of drug abuse like methamphetamines.  Smoke Yaba all night and sleep all day.

Another spineless, gutless, fragile Thai male who can't come to terms with reality of the wimp that he is!

I imagine this man has about as much chance of being granted child contact  by a court as me going vegan.
