French mother demands justice for son sexually assaulted by Thai man in Koh Samui

[snoop1130]

 

A French mother is demanding justice after her seven year old son was sexually assaulted by a predatory Thai pedophile in a grocery store on Koh Samui island in Thailand. Remarkably, despite her son being the victim of a sickening sexual assault, the French mother had her passport confiscated after the suspect filed an assault charge against her. To add further insult to injury, the French Embassy refused to help and the Thai police urged her to drop the case.

 

The 30 year old French mother took to Twitter (@Princessemondi2) on September 29 to recount her harrowing experience. She revealed that she works as a hairdresser and had worked hard for years to bring her seven year old child on a trip to Thailand.

 

The French mother, named Mina, said they were enjoying the trip and everything was going well until their last day at the hotel on the island. They got up early in the morning and went to a grocery store about 10 metres from the hotel to get a coffee.

 

When they returned to the hotel to check out, they discovered that they had left their room key in the grocery store. The boy volunteered to get it because the shop was close to the hotel.

 

Unexpectedly, the boy returned to the hotel in shock and told his mother that a Thai man had sexually assaulted him in the shop. The boy explained that the man made the boy sit on his lap, touched his penis and forced him to touch the man’s penis.

The mother is to blame.  Don't let your kids out of your sight.

[phetphet]

She should check to see if the shop has CCTV.

[Colabamumbai]

No justice here, take the law into your own hands, you are the law. 

[Spock]

Naked in the store? Obviously had no thought of covering his tracks or preparing to lie when confronted. Back in the old days, Thai males would quite openly give a young boy a quick fiddle, but didn't ask for reciprocation or divest themselves of their clothes. Mum is going to punch a pretty big hole in her trip if she wants to pursue this guy in court,

[geisha]

I doubt anyone could invent this story  !!! Sounds to me that the man seemed to be the owner of the shop if he managed to get the CCTV deactivated. If the story is true , which I think it is, shame on the police and everyone concerned in not helping her. The treatment of the woman and child is unbelievably horrendous even for Thailand. Those island folk stick together as we have often seen over the years .

The devil is in the details, and I think there are some details missing here.

She claims (without saying how she knows) that the shop owner disconnected the CCTV before assaulting the child.

Good on Mum for posting on twitter.  Now she needs to keep on posting on every social media forum she can find, as well as to keep writing to every newspaper in Thailand, and to every Government official who's e-mail address she can find. 

 

Keep doing it until it wakes SOMEBODY up, due to the huge financial loss that will surely ensue due to the negative publicity she creates about "holidays" in Thailand.

Hell of a "Kwik-E-Mart", Somchai. ????

Yep, sending a 7yo out alone in a foreign country is a bit silly.

Could have been abducted, run over, got lost.

Sickos are everywhere ... she should have known this and gone back to the store herself or , at least , accompany her son .

No serious harm was done , just learn from this , and let it be this time ....

[TheFishman1]

After reading and I’m a little confused, she forgot her key and what did she stay in front of the door waiting for her son to go next-door to get it and then come back I’m surprise that she would just go back with her seven-year-old son to get the key if it is true, I would definitely pursue the facts TIT

As long as she does not return to Thailand and get arrested for defamation and destroying the good image of Thailand.

Is that your way of trying to get more sexual detail

[newbee2022]

It's somehow confusing. 

The embassy will not assist her.

The boy was sent home. 

So how the case can proceed?

Certainly it's easier to close the book than to start and go on with investigations.

And justice? Nowhere around?

I wouldn't make any conclusions at the moment. The story sounds terryfing, strange, and weird. Will we know the truth?

"No serious harm was done?" If this is how you think, I'm scared of the things you do or can do.

I have heard so many bad things happening to foreigners in Phuket and Koh Samui that I can't understand why people go there.

my guess is they are not interested in returning

[Red Forever]

Koh Samui is nearly as bad as Pukhet with regard to assaults on tourists, rip off tuk tuk/taxi thugs.

There are gaps in this awful story.

I can think of an easy dozen details that are missing without having to think pedophilia like you do. Here's one detail that comes to a proper mind like mine, "the child must have been gone more than the required time to retrieve something, thus, why didn't the mother go to the store to look for him?"

You need to get your sick mind out of the gutter. If this is the best that you can come up with for a comment, you must be a very bored and boring person.

The embassy cannot become involved in criminal cases. All they can do is to provide a list of recommended lawyers.

If you go to gaol, then the embassy can support you.

This all happened as they were checking out of the hotel. That was when she realised that she did not have the hotel key. She was paying the bill, the boy went to fetch the key from the nearby shop.

She could not leave Thailand as she was arrested for the assault. The boy left as planned. I believe that she is still in Thailand facing the assault case.

You make a good point. As I said in an earlier comment, "the devil is in the details". But then pervert scubascuba3 suggested I was looking for more sexual details. What a perv !

I believe that ALL sexual predators and peadophiles found guilty should be castrated. 

[Captain Monday]

Paedophilic men are fundamentally different than standard humans in their reaction to exposure to the underage and it is incurable. Not saying life jail in cases but they need to be permanently separated from society. Perhaps a remote Thai island where they will never “ever” experience another chance to encounter a child for the rest of their natural lives.

Agreed. It was said at Thaiger already. However, the embassy could have assist her with communication French-Thai. We will hear probably more the next days or weeks or never.
