In response to a recent brutal murder committed by five teenagers in Sa Kaeo’s Aranyaprathet district, Thai police are intensifying efforts to combat juvenile delinquency across the country. The murder of a middle-aged woman earlier this month has sparked a nationwide crackdown on criminal acts perpetrated by young offenders, an operation ordered by National police chief Torsak Sukvimol.

 

Torsak has given the Sa Kaeo police chief a mandate to maintain records on all juvenile delinquents in the province. He has also directed local law enforcement to pay particular attention to teens between the ages of 10 and 15 who stay outdoors after 10pm.

 

If these teens are found unaccompanied after this hour, their details will be recorded, and their parents brought in for questioning.

In provinces like Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan, which frequently record incidents involving unruly youths but are lacking sufficient police officers to address the issue, the Provincial Special Operation Sub-Division will offer support in the crackdown, reported Bangkok Post.

 

Additionally, Torsak announced that the results of an investigation into the alleged misconduct of two police officers from the Aranyaprathet district police station have been forwarded to the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The officers stand accused of coercing Panya Khongsaenkham into a false confession of the brutal murder of his mentally unstable wife, Buaphan Tansu, known locally as Pa Kob.

These teens probably come from broken homes or very poor families. Good luck with the questioning...

Followed by a crackdown on delinquent parents?

The children learn from the culture of their parents, it's Thai culture that's the problem. Start by ending the perverted Thai form of Buddhism, install a respected police force (one that actually enforces laws, not breaks them), and create a better educational system for all (not just the rich).

Yes, that plan has worked well in western countries hasn’t it.

A secondary issue to the main story but don't let this gem slip by unnoticed.

They truly are a disgrace.

MOFOS... maybe if they started patrolling instead of sleeping in their police boxes, or going drinking while on duty they would get something done

I'm not so sure about that... 

 

The following comment is anecdotal, I know, but it could be an example of hundreds of thousands of households across the nation.

 

Our Maid is married to driver for a Japanese company exec... has two teenage boys...  both at technical colleges...

The elder of the boys is fine, never an issue...    The younger (14)  always gets into masses of trouble. 

 

He's nicked his mums bike, which was then stollen from him and smashed up. 

He's been invovled in massive street fights etc, parents have been at the police station with him numerous times.

He's been knifed (across the forehead and is now disfigured, nerve damage, needed plastic surgery).

His parents have made him move college to a different area etc

 

I very much doubt he is a purely innocent party in any of the above....   

This isn't a broken home, his parents both work hard.

 

I can't explain how or why its gone so wrong for this lad but it would be an easy judgement to suggest weak parenting...  but his older brother is absolutely fine...

Thailand can implement what the Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni has implemented with a law against juvenile delinquency.:clap2:

In this charged atmosphere, Prime Minister George Meloni presented a new law on Thursday evening with which the government wants to bring this "escalation of youth violence" under control. This should be done mainly through tougher penalties. In particular, young people should be able to be taken to prison more quickly and for less serious offences than before. Previously, in order to be punished by imprisonment, offenders aged 14 to 18 had to have committed offences that carried a minimum sentence of nine years' imprisonment. This limit is reduced to six years. In future, 14-year-olds will also be able to be arrested for minor drug offences if they are caught in the act.

Out of control
"The situation was out of control, something had to be done," the head of government said. Youth violence is also a consequence of the fact that until now juveniles who committed crimes did not expect any consequences. "For example, you couldn't arrest a teenager holding a loaded pistol,":clap2: said the head of the post-fascist Fratelli d'Italia party. That will now change. Widespread impunity for young people was also exploited by the mafia, which increasingly used minors for its criminal purposes. "By protecting them from punishment, we paradoxically put them at greater risk."

Meloni also wants to tighten the belts of students who don't show up for class.

However, it's not the absentees who should be punished, but the parents::clap2: they now risk up to two years in prison if they don't ensure their children turn up to class. Parents should also expect parental authority to be revoked. :clap2:"So far, parents have got away with a fine of just 30 euros," said the head of government. The school offers an alternative to violent crime, drugs and unemployment.
