Heartbreak at nursery: Thai mother seeks justice for baby’s tragic death

[webfact]

 

A Thai mother is seeking justice following the tragic death of her three month old baby, who passed away after being left at a nursery in Bangkok for approximately nine hours.

 

The heart-wrenching incident occurred when a nursery assistant informed the 34 year old mother, Supranee, that her baby had choked on milk and tragically lost her life.

 

Supranee, who had taken three-months leave from work to care for her daughter, explained that her baby had been in good health since her time in the womb and had shown no signs of health issues. However, as her parental leave days were exhausted, and with no available caregivers due to her parents’ illnesses, they were bedridden and suffered from muscle weakness, she had no choice but to place her baby in a nursery as she returned to her job.

 

On the fateful day of July 11, Pranee entrusted her daughter to the nursery at 7am. Throughout the day, she maintained regular communication with the nursery assistant to check on her daughter’s well-being.

Seeking guidance on the matter, Pranee recently visited the office of renowned Thai lawyer Ronnarong Kaewphet. Ronnarong said that the nursery had initially violated the law by accepting a three-month-old infant under their care, as regulations did not permit nurseries to look after babies of such a tender age.

 

And was the person in charge of the baby properly trained? Was she trained at all?

I'm guessing not...
