Bangkok father faces charges for child abuse: Paweena Hongsakul Foundation steps in

The Paweena Hongsakul Foundation for Children and Women, in conjunction with the Bangkok Children and Family Home, lodged an official complaint today on behalf of a six year old girl and her aunt after an alleged child abuse case came to light.

 

They reported the child’s 33 year old father for assaulting the child using a PVC pipe and a shower head, causing injuries to her head and biting marks on her arms and legs.

 

Paweena revealed that the incident came to light after the girl’s aunt sought help from the foundation, unable to bear her brother’s abusive actions towards his daughter any longer. She had fled their home with her niece, and the foundation coordinated with the Bangkok Children and Family Home to provide a safe refuge for the child.

 

The aunt, who has been caring for the girl since her mother passed away almost four years ago, became aware of the child abuse situation last Friday. She noticed her niece’s injuries upon returning from school and was told by the child that her father had beaten her around 2am.

Physical violence has no part in a child's education .

The father should be beaten as well ...

Let me guess he was Lao Khao and Yabba. At 2am a six year old should be well fed and sound asleep. F'king A-hole!
