In Buriram province, a male teacher faces allegations of inappropriate behavior towards several fourth-grade girls. Parents complained that the teacher's misconduct occurred when students made mistakes in their homework.

 

The situation gained attention through a social media post urging an investigation. Concerned parents filed a complaint with local police, leading to mediation efforts instead of direct legal action. This decision has drawn significant public criticism, especially since the case involves minors under 13.

 

Parents of the affected students, including Kai, 47, Nok, 31, and Aoi, 32, reported incidents to deputy inspector Udonsak at Prakhon Chai Police Station. Allegations include the teacher's inappropriate actions, such as removing a student's sweatpants and lifting a student's skirt, occurring during the first semester. Additional reports claim the teacher persuaded male students to put grass in a female student's mouth and attempted inappropriate contact in a private room.

 

 

Despite these allegations, no substantial disciplinary measures have been taken, leading to concerns due to the teacher's connection to the school principal. When questioned, principal Samran acknowledged the accusations and noted that the school was informed on December 6. He stated the teacher was removed from the school premises, and the educational district was alerted.

 

Samran described the teacher as quiet and popular with students, suggesting that the interactions might have been playful, though he admitted such actions were inappropriate. While defending the teacher's character, Samran confirmed ongoing investigations to fully understand the situation.
