A young man with mental-health problems has been terrorizing a community in Nong Khai with violent behavior, including attacks on several people. One resident, 37-year-old Jirawan Srinok, told of an incident several days ago where she was unexpectedly attacked at the local market. Jirawan escaped serious injury but fears for her safety and the safety of others in the community.

 

The young man, known as Anan, is a familiar figure in the local area and has struggled with mental health issues for the past decade. His mother, 50 year-old Maliwan, explained that Anan's condition began due to long-term substance abuse starting from when he was in primary school.

 

Attempts to get treatment for Anan at various medical facilities have been hindered by the family's lack of funds. Each treatment session costs 600 baht per day - a figure beyond the financial resources of Anan’s family.

 

Jirawan is calling on local authorities and appropriate organizations to intervene and provide necessary treatment to Anan as his violent behavior is a serious threat to community safety.

 

Anan himself confessed to carrying out the attacks when approached by Veerapol Raksamoe, an admin from the Ban Dung Update page. He attributed his acts to a state of drunkenness, often prompted by feelings of being overwhelmed and turning to alcohol to cope.

 

Anan’s mother, Maliwan, expressed despair over the situation and appealed for government assistance to help her son receive the required treatment to hopefully, one day, lead a normal life.

Maybe lock him up somewhere?  If he isn't going to get any treatment at all, the best thing for everyone else is for him to be locked away so he cannot hurt anyone.  Not the best thing for him, but better than letting him roam around attacking people.

The problem is that the prisons are all overcrowded.

That is why many folk that are guilty are given bail or let out early. (Except anti government students and S. 112 people who are accused.)

This could be a good project for the PM before he resigns???

"We need more prisons for all of the bad folk"
