Pavena Foundation takes 4 year old Walking Street performer into care following public complaints.

The Pavena Foundation was founded by former Member of Parliament Pavena Hongsakul back in 1999 and is a non-profit organization which helps women and children who are abused or come from poor families who are unable to support their children. On Monday Night, Khun Pavena came to Pattaya after receiving a complaint from a member of the public regarding a 4 year old boy who is often seen on Walking Street begging for money. The search began and within the hour, the young boy was found. The boy’s father, Khun Sampan aged 34 was also found and both were taken to Pattaya Police Station along with Khun Sampan’s daughter. Evidence of possible abuse were seen on the boy’s arms in the form of bruises and Khun Pavena spoke with the boy who explained that he was forced to make dancing shows on Walking Street. All money made by the boy was given to his Father. The boy also alleges that if he did not make enough money in a night, he would be beaten by his Father. Police interviewed the father and a urine test was conducted on the Father which he subsequently failed. He was arrested and charged with consuming a class 1 drug and the boy was taken into the care of the Pavena Foundation for now.
