webfact Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 A sweep operation led by the Satthahip police force has resulted in the apprehension of an alleged gang exploiting children for begging activities during a temple event. The police are investigating potential human trafficking links, focusing on the relationship between the adults claiming to be parents and the children involved. At 10.30pm yesterday, Panya Damlek, the head of Satthahip Police Station in Chon Buri province, received reports of a large number of beggars, both Thai and foreign, present during an event at Satthahip temple. Ranging from young children to elderly individuals, some with physical disabilities, their conspicuous presence raised concerns among locals and tourists, potentially tarnishing Thailand’s image. Panya ordered Suwichak Reungnaumdee, the deputy head of the police station, to investigate, resulting in the detention of eight people. The group consisted of three Cambodian children, two Cambodian adults, and three Thais. They were taken to Satthahip Police Station for further investigation, reported KhaoSod. by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of KhaoSod.

Chris Daley Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I buy the food from the kids but never eat it. It goes straight in the bin or give it to the security guard. Anyone who treats their children like that can not be trusted with food. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
