A seventh grade student from Narathiwat gave birth in a petrol station toilet during a school outing in the southern province of Pattalung and abandoned her newborn baby girl. Officials were alerted to the case at around 9.30am today. Investigation of CCTV footage from the station led to the student being identified and located.

 

The incident took place at a petrol station on the up-ramp side of the Asia Highway in Bang Kaew district, Pattalung. On examination, the baby girl was found in a bin. Emergency services swiftly transferred her to the local Taho Mod Hospital.

 

The CCTV footage investigation revealed the mother to be a student who had travelled from Narathiwat for an school field trip. Following childbirth, the girl left the bathroom and boarded the school trip bus. Officials then traced the trip to a notable tourist location in Moo 11, Na Nod Subdistrict, Mueang, Pattalung. It was there that they located the mother of the newborn, a seven-grade student from a school in Narathiwat, reported KhaoSod.

 

Upon questioning a teacher, it became known that prior to the incident, information was provided by one of the student’s friends. She informed the teacher that her friend was feeling unwell and on her period. The teacher suggested that when they arrived at the petrol station, she could use the toilet and change her sanitary pad.

Attempted murderer perhaps.

A scared and confused young girl. I hope there is someone to assist her and the baby through this.

so the bf bangs her,  she becomes pregnant,  she doesn't tell anyone,  the bf doesn't want anything to do with it.

 

What a pathetic immature school girl and what a pathetic immature bf.   

 

Someone who is head of the family needs to sit down with both and explain the facts of life.

Confused somebody:

 

Would you feel differently if it were the boyfriend who dumped a live human baby into a trash bin?

 

Oh, the poor guy, hope he can overcome this?

i'm not fully convinced Lucky .... she's around 12yrs old so she's not a baby,  she knows about being pregnant obviously.  I expect she was stressed and traumatized by what happened but dumping her baby in a bin .....   that's seriously tragic and immoral,  didn't Buddhism teach her anything ..

Steven, in my village, girls getting pregnant at 11 years is not normal, expected or accepted in Buddhism.

Something sounds very wrong here.

Always appreciate your comments.

She is, at 12 years old now, still a baby.

Parents or grandparents seem to be missing from the story.

Cheers????????

What the young girl did was totally wrong, but at the age of 12 years, carrying the burden of being secretly pregnant for nine months and then giving birth on a field trip was overwhelming. 

This girl needs support not more victimisation.

She must have been at her wits end with the whole dilemma.

Considering that she went 9 months and her parents didn't notice or care.

 

The challenge is that kids are doing it because to he Thai community does not want to discuss it.

Parents will want nothing to do with her. Community instead of helping will shun her for the most part.

There is nothing in the story to say she went full term, or more importantly how the baby is doing.

Unfortunately, the OP article makes no mention of whom the criminal (impregnating a minor) father may be...

 

Might be a BF... But considering the girl's hometown and her very young age relatively speaking, might equally well be her father, uncle or someone similar.

She has all my sympathy, and I hope that she will recover from this traumatic event.

And what a pathetic post from you. Not a single iota of sympathy, just condemnation.

 

I had thought better of you than this.

Why would you care?

 

You have already made your feelings and compassion known.

Not that it makes much difference but for the sake of being correct - this girl is 13 years old.
