A Thai mother exposed the cruel behaviour of a teacher in the central province of Prachin Buri who allegedly struck her three year old son’s penis with a steel ruler causing severe injury.

 

The mother contacted several Thai news agencies to publicise her son’s story and seek appropriate punishment for the accused teacher. Channel 7 interviewed the family on December 12 and discovered that the abuse came to light on November 7.

 

The boy‘s grandmother told the media that she was bathing her grandson, as usual, when he screamed and said that his penis hurt. She did not pay attention to the pain until the boy cried and told her about it again two hours later.

 

The grandmother carefully checked his private parts and found bruising, so she immediately took the boy to hospital and called his mother. The boy was admitted to hospital overnight due to the inflammation of his genitals.

 

The boy’s mother, 30 year old Darika, told the media that she continued to ask her son about the pain until he revealed that it was the result of being punished at school.

 

According to the boy, the teacher hit his genitals with a steel ruler because he tore his book during class. Darika contacted the teacher about the matter but the teacher denied the accusation, saying the boy might have hurt himself while playing or contracted an illness outside school.

 

 

Darika emphasised to the media that the medical examination confirmed that the boy had not been bitten by insects or contracted any diseases.

 

Darika filed a complaint with the police but officers refused to accept it and asked her to wait for the official medical documentation, which could delay the case.

 

Consequently, Darika brought the matter to the media, hoping to expedite the justice process.

 

The Ban Phra Sub-district Administrative Organisation chief later insisted to Channel 7 that officials checked the classroom security cameras and found no evidence of the abuse the boy described.

 

The teacher also told the sub-district officials that the day the boy claimed the incident occurred was a day off.

 

The investigation’s conclusions and next steps are yet to be updated.

Why report the criminal assault to the media and the cops and have the cull tossed in a jail cell.

Yeh! right.

Some people actually pay for that.😁

[phetphet]

The flat of the steel ruler, or the edge? It matters pain wise.  Whichever, the teacher needs firing. Sadistic <deleted>.

Appropriate, meaning he should be sentenced to 20 wacks with a baseball bat until his d*#*ck needs amputation? 

[Scouse123]

If he did it.

 

Children can tell lies as well.

 

No evidence to prove it as yet.

Evil teachers must be rooted out, shamed publicly, and punished. A prison term is appropriate for this creep, and then never being allowed within 500 meters of any school again.

Innocent until proven guilty! did they find the ruler, most rulers are wooden, do they have witnesses? very strange place to whack a kid.

[hotchilli]

So I wonder who's telling porkies?

The teacher deserves the same treatment for as many times as he did it in the past. You can be sure that wasn’t the first time.

until teachers in Thailand think they are Gods, nothing will ever change.

Not that the taste of his own medicine will change anything, but it will serve an example to others.

unfortunately, the powers that be are all on the same page as the offender.

And then Thailand wonders why it’s still consider a third world country.

Should be in jail, but unlikely to even lose job.

Prejudice? Read the whole story again.

[parallelman]

Ok, so there is no doubt about the condition of the boy's penis, no illness or sting. So while at school did the boy not complain about or show signs, of pain? Surely during school time the boy must have complained of some discomfort especially when going to the toilet? Did the teacher just keep quiet or take no notice?

[john donson]

no cctv in schools? or asking other school kids ? maybe other victims?

[easydoor]

Out of the mouth of a child comes mostly the truth.

So I would rather believe the chlld as I would belive that teacher.

[twizzian]

As usual the school administration always protects their guilty.

[bbbbooboo]

hmmm… ouch, i bet that hurt. Maybe someone should do that back to the teacher

Raising my children and from my experience with other kids I rather doubt the boy would invent a story like that.  This should be investigated more thoroughly.

A lot of metal rulers in Thailand.  Plastic also.  Rarely wooden.

The article says they checked CCTV but it didn't show anything.

So the three year old bruised his own genitals and made up a story about a teacher assaulting him with a steel ruler?

Just 2 bricks needed, a bit messy but the message gets through

Who said this?😳

[Dogmatix]

Kindergarten classrooms and other areas need CCTV to investigate and deter abuse by teachers like this. There are good reasons why Singapore has just made CCTV compulsory in all areas in preschools except for bathrooms.
 

In my kid’s expensive international school two teachers had to be fired for persistent bad behaviour towards a class of 3 year olds that was short of abuse but often amounted to quite nasty intimidation. It took a long time for parents to get the school to take action, as the instinctive reaction was to protect teachers and reject parents’ complaints as unfounded. But finally common sense prevailed and the two witches were shown the door. 
 

There is always a certain percentage of teachers that will go rotten, if allowed to by complacent school managements. Parents of young children need to be constantly vigilant for any sudden behavioral changes like not wanting to go to school any more or becoming quiet and withdrawn. It can happen in the poorest state school or the most expensive international school. Don’t take any BS from school management, if you need to take action.

Its part of a bigger unregulated and unreported (almost systemic) issue in LOS.

Teachers administer punishment. 

Cut students hair in junior school. 

Take monetary gain.

Pay for positions to increase employee prospects in the future. 

Especially with universities. 

Teachers having money boxes on thier desks that have to be fed if you want pass grades.

Getting students to work for free in thier private businesses. 

 

Police don't respond or accept complaint reports. 

Under qualified medical staff in hospitals.

Escapees from conscription that they never bother to capture. 

 

And so it goes on and on...

 

Anyone whose lived here long time has witnessed or heard about many occurrences like these.

TIT...

probably why there was no evidence on the CCTV since they checked the cameras for a day school was closed
