webfact Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 A disabled Thai man and his wife have turned to government organisations for assistance following the abandonment by their sons. The wife expressed her inability to continue caring for her husband due to the demands of everyone’s work commitments. In Nonthaburi province, situated near Bangkok, a village security guard alerted the Bang Bua Thong Police officers to the plight of a 59 year old disabled man named Thanaphat. Abandoned by his sons, Thanaphat’s situation had become dire. One of his sons had even forbidden any communication or entry to his residence. According to the security guard’s account, Thanaphat had relocated from the northern province of Pitsanulok along with his 38 year old wife, Laddawan, to live with his youngest son in Nonthaburi. Tragically, Thanaphat’s son forbade the couple from entering his house. To address this pressing issue, the security guard took the initiative to involve the local police. Responding swiftly, the police intervened, escorting Thanaphat and Laddawan to the police station, where they awaited further guidance from relevant authorities. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Matichon.

J Branche Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Yes one known case out of over 60 million people. It is difficult when presented with this situation and definitely takes an organized, dedicated, and capable group to support someone disabled.
