saraburioz Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I do some voluntary work at a school where recently a colleague commited a serious criminal offense. The other farang teacher is not saying anything but I feel obliged to - should I? We are 95% sure that he diid this crime. I am not allowed to say exactly what the crime is but in Australia, he'd be looking at 10 years. What do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlx Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 we have had a similar post on here before and i think the general consensus was, if it does not concern you directly, stay out of it. i would say though that if what he did was injurious to a child, you have a moral obligation to report it.

Agreed 100%. Quite apart from other considerations, he might do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 95% means you aren't sure, you just have a good hunch. If you can give a clue to someone in power, you might want to do so, unless it will put yourself in jeopardy. Best of luck. I hate moral dilemmas.

Mario2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hard to tell if I don't know what the crime is. But if it involves a student, I would'n hesitate a moment to report it. I'm a volunteer teacher too, and the school and parents have entrusted their children to me. That means I protect my students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 By the way folks, molesting a kid will usually get you more than 10 years, so I think were talking about something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twschw Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 If you are a volunteer teacher make sure your work permit is in order before you make waves otherwise you may be put out of the boat along with the offender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveSteam Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I think that you should post what the crime was here on TV. Obviously you don’t know what to do and just maybe the feedback you get from TV will help you with your decision. LiveSteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not allowed to say exactly what the crime is but in Australia, he'd be looking at 10 years. What do I do? You should report it as you said it is a serious criminal offence, if you don't , what if he commints it again. You must have a conscience and you don't want it to hang over your head for the rest of you life. If it concerns child sexual abuse you should go to the police right away after reading this post.

poshthai Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 You have a moral obligation if you have sufficent proof to start police procedures.If not 100% sure keep an eye on him and make certain you get the proof then let the police take over.

As others have already pointed out--without more info as to the 'supposed' offence it's very difficult to give you much help--however I don't feel the fact that he's a Farang has anything to do with it.

Just like that time you said i should be embarrased becuase of something i said on TV. Why john nobody knows me? cmon get a grip mate. i think your the one speaking drivel. As for the OP. you are probably better to let people know the crime as it would be a dam_n sight easier to give some advice, but if he i looking at 10 years then it will be something serious! If it was armed robbery, with no injuries to anyone i would say forget about it. Edited July 15, 2008 by tomuk76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendix Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Who cares what the crime is? If it's serious enough to warrant a ten year term back home, of course he should grass him up. What is this place? A den of thieves? Don't you realise that it's these shitty farangs living on the fringes of society, dabbling in minor (and it seems) major crime that is ruining it for everyone else. It's these people who are leading to tigher visa regulations and a growing negativity and impatience towards the wider farang population by our hosts. report the shyster.
