In Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, a suspected child abduction ring has alarmed local communities after three men in a pickup truck allegedly tried to lure students with candy. This prompted local schools to issue warnings to parents and teachers.

 

A 10-year-old student named Noy shared a frightening experience on February 17. While riding his electric bicycle home for lunch, he was approached by three men in a white pickup truck near his grandmother's rubber plantation. Afraid and alone, Noy hid in his house for 30 minutes. The men waited outside for about 10 minutes before leaving.

 

His grandmother, Jamjan, said she was not at home during the incident. Noy later recounted how the truck followed him, pausing only when it slipped off the road, allowing him to escape and hide at a nearby shop before reaching home. The men allegedly tried to coax him with sweets, but Noy was quick to alert his mother, suspecting they intended to abduct him.

 

 

Consequently, the Nakhon Phanom Primary Educational Service Area Office issued an urgent alert. Earlier, on February 7, a bronze pickup was seen outside a school with someone offering sweets to students, prompting a teacher to intervene and send the students back to class.

 

To prevent further incidents, schools are urged to team up with community leaders to educate parents and students, ensure staff oversight on student safety, and teach self-defense skills. Parents are also advised to stay alert for potential threats.

 

Any suspicious activities should be reported immediately to the Nakhon Phanom authorities using designated communication channels, reported The Thaiger.

That's not going to end well... just scream your bloody head-off if a guy comes near you offering sweets
