At approximately 08:45 on November 10, Lt. Col. Watchira Phetrit, Deputy Inspector of Ban Khwao Police Station, Chaiyaphum Province, received a report from the owner of a rice mill in Moo 7, Non Daeng Subdistrict, Ban Khwao District, that a newborn’s body had been found in a canal behind the mill. Lt. Col. Watchira, along with local rescue teams and a medical examiner from Ban Khwao Hospital, immediately arrived at the scene to investigate.

 

The canal, located behind the rice mill, is surrounded by bamboo and vegetation. In the water, they discovered the body of a newborn male, visibly bloated and with an umbilical cord still attached. The canal’s banks are overgrown with grass, and only a small section near the roadside allows water access.

 

According to Sangwian, the rice mill owner, he opened the mill that morning as usual. While his employees were cleaning and performing regular duties, one worker who had gone to the restroom at the back of the facility noticed the baby’s body floating in the water. The employee immediately informed the authorities. 

 

Sangwian added that the mill only employs two female workers, both of whom have had sterilisation procedures and were not pregnant. He speculated that the infant might have been abandoned by a young mother who had terminated the pregnancy and disposed of the body in the canal near the roadside.

 

Lt. Col. Watchira confirmed that the body will be sent for autopsy and DNA testing to try to identify the mother. Police are also reviewing security camera footage from nearby areas to identify any suspicious individuals who might have abandoned the infant. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities committed to locating the mother.

Yeah, now the week is filled once again. Early this time. Maybe have enough time to find one more this week.

This issue is nothing to joke about. 

I'm surprised they are not more frequent. 

 

Sadly another report of abandoned baby. 

 

These young women (girls) in a relationship, having sex, all is going well, she and her partner make plans for the future......Sadly, only for the father to abandon her shortly after the birth of her baby. 

 

In the west the government would provide social security and welfare payments (thousands of dollars after the birth), garnish the fathers wages, the woman may be on maternity leave, she has income but sadly in Thailand this poor young woman (girl) has no money to support herself and baby. 

 

If the mother decides to keep her child without income she must leave her child with a guardian, go to work in the city but the minimum wage of around 12000 month is not enough to pay for accommodation, guardian, food, clothing, electricity, etc, now she finds herself working on Soi 6.

 

Shame on Thailand for not providing for these young mothers
