In a harrowing incident in Surin, a Burmese man shot an 11-year-old Thai girl with a slingshot, leaving her blind after she reported being sexually assaulted by him. 

 

The young girl first revealed the assault, alleging that the man, a 32-year-old identified as Suthee, had touched her inappropriately. Seeking help, she confided in her mother, hoping to bring an end to the ordeal.

 

Tragically, their plea for help was met with violence. Suthee, who had recently married the girl’s grandmother, launched a brutal attack, further endangering the mother and daughter.

 

The situation escalated when the girl recorded the assault on her mobile phone. Enraged by the evidence, Suthee aimed his slingshot at her, causing severe injury to her eye. Incredibly, the grandmother not only stood by Suthee but accused the girl of faking her blindness, even encouraging her teachers to dismiss her claims.

 

 

Desperate and fearing for their lives, the victims turned to social media influencer Guntouch "Gun" Pongpaiboonwet for help. Gun, a prominent activist, visited the family at Phanom Dongrak Police Station to hear their distressing account.

 

The mother recounted the threats and violence inflicted by Suthee, adding that he menaced her with death if she did not retract the complaint.

 

During this tense meeting, Suthee audaciously appeared at the police station with a friend, staunchly denying any wrongdoing and dismissing the shooting as accidental. Despite his blatant lack of remorse, he dared the authorities to take action against him.

 

Responding to public pressure, the police confirmed that Suthee and the grandmother had been charged with several offences and pledged to ensure they face justice. While efforts are being made to treat the girl’s eye injury, it remains uncertain if her sight can be restored.

And then some people are surprised when young girls run away from their parents and end up in places where they shouldn't be.

Sad, very sad.

The pair should be put away somewhere very dark, cold and wet for many years.

Too many words. After "put" you could remove all the rest and replace with "down". There.

A very sad example of the downside of Thai culture.

Sick f**k

There are so many people in the world who could do with a sound thrashing or two...some once a week.

Good chance if he owned a gun it wouldn't have been a slingshot.

But otherwise neither arrested nor detained?

Uniquely Thai? I think not.

 

Plenty of victims of physical and sexual spousal abuse in the "more culturally developed" west will press the police to drop charges. Plenty of mothers defend their villainous sons because he's a "nice lad" and "he wouldn't do that."

Some immediate justice needs to be handed out garotte the monster 🤔

Suthee is not only accused to be a pedo. He is also a very violent man with deeply rooted anger issues. Something the stupid grandmother who stand by his side, surely going to feel in the future if not already. One can only hope Suthee get a very loooong sentence. So long that the grandmothers day of expiry has been reached.

We will never know the outcome as we rarely got information about what happens next in stories like this. Me too hopes they are putting away for a very long time.

32 and married a grandmother, so how old is she ? then start to touch the minor... and shooting out an eye... can the family of the girl do the same with him + some nuts ?
