snoop1130 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Secretary-General of the Child Protection Foundation, Montri Sinthaweechai, aka “Khru Yun”, acknowledged a human trafficking charge today (Friday), filed against him by Amphawa district police. The long-time child rights advocate told the media that he feels very sorry, because he never expected to be charged with human trafficking as, throughout his life, he has devoted himself to protecting the rights of children. Montri and his wife, who has been operating a resort, stand accused of using children from the child care centre to work at the resort. They were charged with assault and illegal use of child labour last month, after the Zendai Foundation filed a police complaint.

What do we know? Sure, in the west, UK for instance, there'd most likely be a commission of enquiry. Here, we have to rely on press reports and defense lawyer's statements. I guess the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Got that one, Gottfrid? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post klauskunkel Posted December 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2022 from the article: “The human trafficking charge is horrifying, raising questions over how Khru Yun could have been appointed a senator, if he had he been involved in human trafficking,” said the lawyer The lawyer's argument just went sideways. It makes one think about how a convicted felon can be appointed a cabinet minister in this country... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingstonkid Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Ok where is the trafficking. How many kids work in family businesses. There is no mention of what the assault was. Except for the fact that TIT I don't see any crimes. If the kids are looked after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Classic Ray Posted December 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2022 This is a matter of degree. Asking children to help out briefly as a way of preparing them for life is commendable. Using them as cheap labour to run a resort, under cover of charitable works would be deplorable and illegal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the accusations of many organisations that claim to be wanting to help people cannot be trusted either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like the 14 year old being behind the counter at the corner Indian shop or serving in the restaurant... we need to get more detail to know if the underlying situation was abuse. Too many folks prepared to sling mud these days, happened to Father Ray..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4dang Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I wonder who gets the resort if he is convicted? The Zendai Foundation director? What will happen to the kids? Back to a state orphanage or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
