A dispute between parents over a schoolyard incident in Buriram escalated after a fourth-grade girl was kicked in the throat by a male classmate. The 38 year old girl’s mother, Euaengkham, from Isaan Khet, Chaloem Phrakiat district, is demanding justice following the attack that left her daughter with a swollen neck, chest pain, and vomiting, requiring two hospital visits for treatment.

 

The boy’s parents offered a mere 2,000 baht (US$56) compensation, advising the girl’s family to seek legal action if they desired more.

 

On February 2, at the close of the school day, 10 year old Petchanaree, nicknamed Nania, returned home in tears. She recounted to her mother that during snack time at around 4.30pm, a boy from her class had requested some of her food.

 

When she refused, the boy kicked her in the throat. A scuffle ensued, leading to the boy’s shirt tearing and two additional kicks to her neck. Despite medical attention and an overnight hospital stay on Friday and another on Saturday after symptoms persisted, the young girl now requires a neck brace and continues to suffer from vomiting and neck pain, reported Sanook.

Bullying is bad enough, but hitting girls is a cowardly act.

.... a bit old to be in school....

If he is like this at 10 ( I can only presume he is the same age) what will he be like as he grows older, I hope he gets he's ass kicked at home. 

Naughty boy.

 

Kicking students in the neck is reserved for teachers.

It is obvious that the parents are a big part of the problem. I hope they have to pay a lot of money so that they will remember to make sure their boy doesn't do that again.

I think that is when she got home at 10yr old, I think they finish 3.30/4.00.

begs to question, where were the teachers in all this? 

didnt they see the situation escalating?

snack time is supposed to be supervised... another fail for the system

The incident was initially addressed by the school, which advised the parents to negotiate privately.

 

the boy should be suspended... but nahhhhh ... let the parents talk to each other

 

what a bunch of loafers the school admin...

 

The boy needs a good whipping with the belt ....  and that should be done by the father but TIT where no one is accountable so i expect nothing will happen to teach the brat a lesson.

Do it, 

The boy needs a drastic attitude adjustment. His parents need to be sued for a considerable amount of money, and they need to make sure the boy gets some kind of psychological treatment. Because if he thinks it’s okay to do something like this at the age of 10/11, there’s obviously something seriously mentally wrong with this kid. Like there probably is with a lot of spoiled Thai boys, regardless of their age.

He's probably just kick someone else in the throat and steal their phone.

Then he would be close to be deprived of his freedom.
