A tragic incident has resulted in the loss of a 15 year old student after his motorbike collided with a metal road barrier. A 13 year old friend accompanying him at the time sustained injuries. The incident happened after a gang of bikers attacked the victim with a knife.

 

Close to 3am today, the deputy detective inspector of Bukkalo Police Station, Thanachot Chanpa, arrived at the incident scene near Soi Somdet Phra Chao Taksin 35/1, Thonburi district, Bangkok. He was accompanied by a forensic doctor from Siriraj Hospital, and Poh Teck Tung Foundation volunteers.

 

At the location, a dreadful scene unfolded revealing the riders involved in the incident. Lying near the roadside was a 15 year old student of a school in Pra Pradaeng district. The deceased was found in his school uniform, a T-shirt covered with a white long-sleeved shirt with the word ‘อาษาวิทยา’ printed on the back, and black short trousers. His belt bore the emblem of a well-known technology university. There was a gruesome wound on his forehead from the impact of the metal road barrier.

15 and 13 years old out at 3am?

More common than you'd think... don't even ask what the parents/guardians were doing.

No kid wants to be told anything by his parents and don't explain where they will be and with whom. I guess the parents just gave up on teaching him to be a good son.

Gawd...  What if they were?

Thai-style parenting. No discipline, let their kids so whatever they, whenever they want. And we all know the result of that in later life, don't we. Man-children with no self-discipline who react violently when someone says no to them. Just part of Thai culture.

They get involved with a motorcycle gang and one of them gets murdered I guess.

One of them literally died!  How can you think "what if they were?" makes any sense here at all?

 

You realise it means "So what if they were?", right?  As in, "what does it matter if they were?"?

 

It matters because one of them died!  And even if they didn't, it isn't safe for a 13 and 15 year old to be out in the city unsupervised at 3am!

 

You make some pretty "out there" comments sometimes, but I think this one takes the cake.

It's actually as simple as this: what puts you in the position to decide where someone else's children should be and at what time?

It's called Common Sense, something you seem to be seriously lacking.  ????
