A disturbing video has gone viral on social media, showing a female secondary school student being violently assaulted by two older schoolmates in a wooded area behind their school in Phen District, Udon Thani province.

 

The clip, widely shared online, shows a girl in school uniform being slapped, punched, kicked and dragged by her hair as two other female students take turns attacking her. The caption accompanying the video reads: “Everyone loves their children #DevilChild Penpittayakom.”

 

The brutal incident reportedly stemmed from a dispute involving a shared romantic interest. According to the 13-year-old victim, a student at a local school, she was targeted after warning one of the older students that they were at risk of being ambushed over the boy they both had been speaking to. The two older students, also pupils at the same school, allegedly responded by assaulting her.

 

The victim stated that the abuse began earlier in the school day, when the two senior students allegedly cornered her in a classroom and physically attacked her. Later, after school had ended, they dragged her into a nearby wooded area and assaulted her again, with no intervention from school staff or bystanders.

 

The girl suffered bruises to her legs, elbows and neck as a result of the attack.

 

The victim’s mother, who works in Chonburi province, rushed to Udon Thani immediately after being shown the video by another daughter. She filed a police report at Phen Police Station and has demanded full legal action be taken against those responsible.

 

“My daughter is quiet and reserved. Watching that video broke my heart,” the mother said. “She was attacked simply because she warned someone about a possible ambush. That doesn’t justify what they did to her.”

 

The school’s director responded to press inquiries by stating the matter had been reported to police and was being treated as a case of student altercation. “Police have taken statements from the injured student and are in the process of calling in the older students for questioning. The incident took place after school hours and many witnessed it. It appears to have been a case of teenage conflict, not premeditated violence,” the director said.

 

The school plans to facilitate a mediation meeting between the families of those involved on the upcoming school week.

 

Meanwhile, police investigations are ongoing. Officers have already interviewed the victim and intend to summon the attackers and witnesses for further questioning.

So how do the police make this conclusion since the girl was attacked earlier in the morning and then later pulled into the woods to be attacked some more. Clearly, there was planning to do this after school. Premeditative violence would be the most feasible conclusion yet the police claim the opposite. I wonder if the parents can do anything at all with the police acting as this is a one-off conflict? 

With all the teen violence happening now in Pattaya and Phuket and other cities, the police should be treating this as harshly as it deserves. I am glad my kids do not go to these schools that seem to sit back idly while kids are getting beaten down outside.
