Thai Man Turns Himself In After Kidnapping and Assaulting His 7-Year-Old Son

A man from Thailand turned himself in at a police station after allegedly attacking and abducting his seven-year-old son. The boy's mother, a 34-year-old woman, had sought help from a social media personality, Kuntouch "Gun" Phongpaiboonwet, and the local police following the incident on May 15.

 

She stated that her ex-husband, 33-year-old Naweesak Saetao, physically abused their son, Bell, and also threatened to kill him before kidnapping him. During a video call with the mother, Naweesak was seen choking and hitting Bell. He was also accused of previously forcing Bell to consume bathroom cleaning liquid.

 

In the wake of their separation four months prior, Bell had been living with his father. The mother suspected that Naweesak was putting their son in danger to attempt a reunion with her.

 

Police investigated the incident by reviewing CCTV footage around Naweesak's home, which showed him taking Bell on a motorcycle towards another province. In the evening, Naweesak surrendered to the police and let the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (M-Society) take custody of Bell.

 

Naweesak confessed to abusing Bell and tried justifying his actions, blaming his anger towards his ex-wife for not prepping school admission documents for their son. He also admitted to forcing Bell to drink cleaning liquid but contends this was an unrelated incident from three years ago. After he admitted to drug use, police gave him a drug test that resulted positive, although the exact drug remains undisclosed.

 

Naweesak faces charges related to violence, threats and coercion, which can result in a three-year jail sentence, a fine of 60,000 baht, or both. He has also allegedly violated the Domestic Violence and Child Protection Acts, with details still pending. The legal consequences of his drug use are also indeterminate. Meanwhile, Bell is being cared for by the M-Society and is expected to live with his mother once his mental health is stable.

I'm not sure you can kidnap or abduct your own son.  It didn't say that the mother had custody.

No kidnapping or abduction there.

Has to be said though, there is a layer of this heinous behavior hidden in almost every country.
