A warning has emerged in Khon Kaen regarding an alleged child abduction gang after a mother recounted an incident involving her four year old daughter nearly being taken by a stranger. Police have confirmed that no missing child cases have been reported.

 

A Facebook user posted about a child abduction gang in action yesterday, January 21, claiming her daughter was almost taken by the group. The post mentioned that two children aged between two and three had disappeared in Tha Phra and urged caution. The post attracted significant attention before it was deleted.

 

 

When approached by reporters, the woman declined an interview but shared some CCTV footage. The footage captured the moment her four year old daughter was nearly abducted by a stranger. The video showed the girl playing in a sand pile at a local market in Sila subdistrict, Mueang district, Khon Kaen province.

 

A man was seen loitering around the child, eventually attempting to grab her arm. Fortunately, a market vendor familiar with the family and the girl called out her name, prompting the stranger to quickly walk away. The mother shared the story on social media to alert others about potential dangers.

Was it a complete stranger with ill intentions or was a it a family member, perhaps the fathers family who attempted to take the girl ?

I remember in 2007 while shopping in Big-C in Nakhon Ratchasima the PA system was warning the parents to keep a close contact with their children. Several children had been kidnapped in Big-C while their parents were shopping.

CCTV evidence points out it was a stranger.

Well done to the market vendor.  I guess if the man was known to the family then their review of the CCTV or the knowledge of the market vendor would have highlighted that.  The fact that the guy legged it when he knew he'd been rumbled is a give away.  Nothing certain of course, as none of us on this forum has all the facts, but there's enough info in the story for this to be highly probable in my opinion.

They were probably at relative ease as they knew the market vendor would be keeping an eye on her?
