A gang of teenagers brutally attacked a 16-year-old girl on the streets of Nonthaburi, claiming their actions were a form of punishment. The incident, which was filmed and extensively circulated on social media platforms, is currently under investigation by the police.

 

The victim, accompanied by her guardians and Kan Jompalang, visited the Nonthaburi Rattanathibet Police Station to report the matter and expedite legal action against the perpetrators. The girl was assaulted by her peers, who subjected her to punches, kicks, and slaps until she pleaded for them to stop.

 

The attack took place on Tuesday, August 20, outside the culprits' residence in Soi Prachachuen Nonthaburi 5, Bang Khen, Nonthaburi. Following the assault, the victim's guardians took her to a Pathum Thani hospital for medical checks and later filed a report against the attackers.

 

Kan Jompalang reported that he was contacted by the victim's family for assistance with the case. He characterized the video of the attack as the brutal assault of an innocent girl by her classmates in front of an encouraging audience. After the assault, the attackers threatened the girl with more violence if she reported their actions.

 

In response to the threat, Police are taking measures to ensure the victim’s safety. In addition, the Rattanathibet Police Station and other authorities have been enlisted to guarantee swift justice.

 

Colonel Pisut of the Rattanathibet Police Station confirmed receipt of the complaint and has since interviewed the victim's mother. In view of the victim being a minor, her statement will have to be recorded in the presence of professionals.

 

Her interview is scheduled for September 12, with attempts being made to expedite the process. Meanwhile, her medical report is expected to substantiate the charges against the attackers.

 

The Nonthaburi Provincial Social Development and Human Security Office plans to work with the Pathum Thani department to offer psychological support to the victim. There are fears the assault could culminate in depression, thus the victim's mental health requires careful attention. Measures will be implemented to restrict the victim's movements at night and improve her guardians' supervision.

 

In the wake of the video's release, Deputy Superintendent Phasakorn Chaitaveewong of Rattanathibet Police Station directed a team to identify and apprehend the culprits. Reports indicate that the culprits are three teenage girls- Mint, 18, First, 17, and Jan, 16.

 

The attackers claimed they attacked the victim because she had been spreading group gossip to outsiders, leading to misunderstandings and conflicts. The victim reportedly joined the group three months before the incident.

I'm sure the prompt investigation followed by the harsh punishment of the perpetrators will soothe the victim's troubled mind...

Let's wait for more details is she really was so innocent.

Maybe she was. But maybe those classmates had good reasons to be upset about her.

upset does not mean going to them and gang-beating them down. All too often kids are belittled or beaten down by their peers for not agreeing or doing what was told to them. And as of recently in the news, there are way to many violent altercations between students. Are the schools teaching them violence is the correct response?

He is just trolling as usual.

He has a chip on his shoulder about Thais for some reason.

 

Just teens being teens, happens everyday in every country.

A part of growing up.
