In Rayong, locals are rallying for an 11-year-old boy named Kla, who has been suffering continuous abuse at the hands of his parents. Residents are advocating for help, alleging that Kla’s parents physically assault him regularly and often force him to sleep outside with their pet dog.

 

Na, a 51-year-old neighbour, contacted Channel 3 to bring Kla’s plight to light. According to Na, the abuse escalates when she or other neighbours intervene. She revealed that Kla's parents typically come home late at night, only to wake him up and send him on late-night errands. She worried for his safety navigating the dark streets alone.

 

Efforts by neighbours to caution Kla's parents have been futile. Each time Kla appears in public, his body is marred with fresh wounds and bruises, evidence of the abuse. Despite their continual interventions, Kla is often thrown out of his home and forced to sleep outside.

 

Kla’s 11-year-old friend, El, shared that he is distressed watching Kla endure such harsh treatment. Whenever Kla is made to sleep outside, El stays with him for support. El noted Kla’s inability to play freely due to his restrictive and abusive home environment.

 

Da, another neighbour, mentioned that the family moved into the community just two months ago. She frequently witnessed Kla being punished for not completing chores. Despite his parents' assertions, Da found Kla to be polite and well-mannered.

 

The community leader suggested that financial stress might be fuelling the parents' aggressions. Moreover, it was revealed that Kla hasn't been allowed to attend school regularly. Despite efforts from the community leader to help, Kla's inconsistent attendance has hindered his academic progress.

 

The Rayong Provincial Office of Social Development and Human Security has been informed of Kla's situation. Authorities are now coordinating to move him to a shelter for children, where he can find safety and support.

Unfortunately in Thailamd there is no organization like a childwelfare that kids can contact as things like this happens. Education also brainwashes the kids that the parents have to be respected. Good of the neighbour that he sought help we all know it is not a single case.

Lets hope the child gets the help he obviously needs

There is absolutely no reason or excuses for the parents to do this to a child.  I hope that he gets the help he needs both physically and mentally. Thanks to the neighbors for speaking up.

Unlike many Thai boys.

so all they want is a slave that they can beat and abuse

 

and the great thai law where children cannot sue their parents

 

and the police doing nothing, as usual
