Daily News Thai Caption: Taken home

 

Thai social media was full of praise after a Ratchaburi policeman managed to get a lost boy home.

 

Boss, 6, a pupil at a downtown school, got lost as he was trying to get home on the school bus.

 

He was in floods of tears after approaching a member of the public who contacted the cop.

 

Pol Sub-Lt Wichian Maneewihok tried to find out where he was headed and ended up driving him around on his motorcycle for an hour before going to the Muang district police station to get help from his chief, reported Daily News.

They managed to contact the school and later Boss was taken there to be reunited with his guardians.

 

Wichian said that parents should put their phone number on school bags of kids using the school bus to prevent such upset in the event a child gets lost.

Maybe they should make parents aware that if they have children they have to look after them to prevent this kind of situations. They want children but don't want to anything with them. This morning kids arrive at school at 6.40 and probably they get special classes till 18.15 .... Easy... parents don't have watch their kids...This boy too... with a schoolbus again.... nobody cares about the kids.. Shameful Thailand 

A happy ending for the young lad and well done Mister Policeman. Interesting comparison in the two photos, first shows a young lad in school uniform, the second a young lad in casual clothes wearing a baseball cap - stock photos???

It's obvious the two kids are different ages so just what the second image relates to...........????

Not a very good school bus that doesn't deliver children home. Was it a public bus with a 6 yo child on it, or a 'school bus'? Very different questions raised.

Maybe the parents are hard working from dawn until dusk...the child was reunited with guardians..

not every parent/family have the enviable position of staying home all day to look after the children?

I am wondering how they do it in Western countries... Parents are working too, but this kind of things don't happen. And if the guardians were working too, they should accept the responsibility, or looking for solutions... But the parents made the kid and it is their responsibility, you can't deny that

There is nothing in this report that indicates neglect on the parents part, nothing to indicate the parents don't take their responsibilities seriously, don't care about there children.

There is however a lot of wild speculation that the parents don't care, only happens in Thailand, should be ashamed, dont want anything to do with their children etc

Last time I checked, kids miss the bus sometimes in western countries, get on the wrong bus, get themselves lost etc. Nobody comments that their parents are bad 

 

 

hotchili I hear you, but there are some new posters who forget that Thailand does not have

the same conditions that their home countries have, like a living wage, or such. Thailand has people who survive on

a very low wage. It is a shame that poster on this for are not educated enough to realize the difference.

This is local reporting, do you really expect their would be any flow or conistency in the report let alone stand up to simple questioning?

Should have been the first thing to do, not drive around for an hour on a motorbike, and i'd guess no helmet.
