A seven year old boy endured physical abuse at the hands of his foster father, sparking swift intervention from Deputy Mayor Wanchai Saenngam of Nong Prue Municipality, alongside local law enforcement.

 

Eyewitnesses recounted the chilling scene where the boy, accompanied by his guardian, faced a violent assault over a trivial dispute at a local grocery shop. Reports suggest the accused man, identified as the boy’s guardian, inflicted severe injuries on the child, prompting him to flee in anguish.

 

Despite seeking refuge with his mother, the child found no respite as the abuse persisted, culminating in his desperate flight into the rain-soaked woods. Surveillance footage captured the brutality of the assault, offering crucial evidence for authorities.

 

In a disturbing attempt to justify the abuse, the mother, identified as A, labelled the acts as disciplinary, vehemently denying any malicious intent. However, authorities underscored the need for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind the heinous acts.

 

The search for the abusive foster father remains ongoing, with legal proceedings awaiting his apprehension. Shockingly, subsequent investigations uncovered alarming details, including the man’s possession of a knife, raising concerns for the safety of law enforcement.

 

Adding to the gravity of the situation, the house where the abuse unfolded lacked basic amenities, nestled in a remote, forested area devoid of electricity and running water.

 

The victim, identified as Tawan, was discovered in a distressed state, bearing multiple injuries indicative of severe physical abuse, prompting widespread outrage among residents who demanded justice and support for the child’s welfare.

 

Despite Tawan’s regular attendance at Wat Sutthawat School and his registration with a local charity organisation, his education has been disrupted by the traumatic events. Villagers now call for assistance from concerned individuals and organisations to ensure the child’s well-being and educational prospects, reported Pattaya Mail.

 

Taking swift action, authorities from Nong Prue Municipality Social Welfare, in collaboration with local police, have initiated protective measures in accordance with the law, striving to secure justice for Tawan and prevent such atrocities from recurring.

 Like all places, it might be going up a bit. However more likely they are just reporting more, as in, it was always there you are just getting more of a glimpse of it. 

How is this man a foster father if his mother is also there? This means step father, and sadly, one of the ones most likely to assault , abuse and molest children. Of course most step parents aren't like this. Severe physical abuse and multiple injuries are discipline. They are abuse, and a mother that allows this isn't a mother but a perp also. Physical abuse is rampant here and a lot of it goes unpunished. I see moms carrying sticks and hitting their kids when they get out of line. What is it with using weapons here? A population of cowards who don't understand or care how to raise their children in a non violent manner? This is something learned through generations.

Jail them both and offer the young lad up for adoption by a loving family

The knife wielding abusive POS will disappear to another location where he will set up shop again.

I just read another tale of a mother abandoning her toddler daughter to go on a 10 day vacation leaving her alone in a playpen in her Ohio home. Stories like this are beyond tear-jerking!

Closer to purgatory!

I like how you first response is, defend Thailand      Defend your sandbox. Looks like you are well bonded to the Thai cultural norms ... if you can't deny it or blame someone for it, you can always come in with the what aboutery defense. 
Carry on old sprog. 

The child needs to be removed from that environment permanently.

 

We did a lot of work before and donated to, Jing Jai Orphanage in Pattaya, as well as Father Brennan (when he was alive), at Pattaya Orphanage and some of the stories we heard of abuse, did not make for good reading.

Look in the mirror ... That said there are a lot of old sprogs who defend Thailand by reflex action, because they do not know what else to do. Sad actually. I live here but I know it is not a paradise, far from it.

Surely 'old sprogs' is an oxymoron? 

'Look in the mirror', a bit schoolyard  that! 

Topic is about an abusive guardian of a 7 year old.... no need to troll.

I shall add you to my 'special' list.
