A 12-year-old boy was viciously assaulted by older schoolmates in Khun Han district, Sisaket province, after declining their demand to buy them cigarettes. The event has led to questions about student safety and intervention from education agencies.

 

Details of the occurrence, made public via a family member's Facebook post, reveal the child suffered severe injuries including a head wound and multiple cuts and bruises. Images revealed the boy donning a blood-drenched school uniform and visible injuries on his head.

 

Speaking with the boy’s guardian, Wanana, during a visit to the village in Huai Chan subdistrict, the reporter learned that the victim, referred to as A, is a sixth grader. A narrated the horrific incident which occurred around 7 am, where an older male student along with a female student insisted that he buy cigarettes for them. Defying this demand led to an aggressive reaction from the duo who beat him in a school storage building.

 

A voiced the details of the attack, describing how the older boy used a pencil sharpener blade to cut his arm and then burnt him with a cigarette in several parts of his body. He also mentioned being hit with a large chain by the older boy. The female student used a pipe to hit him on the forehead and smashed his head against a wall, causing a head wound. A managed to run away and was taken to Khun Han Hospital by his teachers. The traumatizing experience has left him too frightened to return to school, and he wishes to transfer to a different institution.

 

The school has responded following the disturbing event, with the Deputy Director of the Sisaket Primary Educational Service Area Office 4, Yuttana Pornthip, granting financial support to A from a fund. He assured measures towards student safety improvement, which include installing CCTV cameras and cooperation from school inspectors and the community.

 

Wanana disclosed that the boy had been attacked by older students before, getting beaten with a vine. Previously, she had not sought justice as the children involved were known to each other. However, this severe attack has pushed her to demand justice.

 

She also noted that her nephew has started receiving support from various agencies, which has alleviated her worries. The local police station has set up a mediation session for June 2 to resolve the issue. She expressed that if the boy is not fairly treated, they might consider his transfer to a different school.

Minors can buy cigarettes?? A second time already and the school did not anything as it is an incident? Amazing Thailand.

No wonder Thailand handle these matters with stupid laws instead of real action against these scum students. Probably from people with influence

The attackers in this situation should be kicked out of this school, with penalties under the law for their acts pressed by the police.

Why the community? Education department enjoys a very large piece of the budget.

The problem then is they will seek revenge that could end fatally. These kids should be put in a secure institution. Or sit them in a room with unlimited cigarettes and make them chain smoke till they puke. rinse and repeat.

Cigars would be better a bit pricey but I think there is cheap thai cigars available.
