They revealed that a group of young children aged under 10 were seen to assault the victim over a time period of around 30 minutes

i dont know if i am more shocked that they where all under 10, or the fact someone witness it happneing over a 30 min period and didnt think to call the police?

This is very disturbing news, the youth of pattaya need to be seroiusly sorted out, as this is becoming out of control,

RIP to the deceased

They were unsure if it was murder or if the victem tripped and fell after the boys left! <deleted>

are they really this stupid? (dont answer that)

Apparently they would tease the victim every night so the Monks thought nothing of it until they went to check on the victim who was dead.

Cannot say what I think since monks cannot be disrespected.

And I am sure the parents are all great care-takers, since it was late at night and the kids was under 10(!)...

I am appauled that this sort of mean bullying was allowed to continue to it's tragic end.

This unacceptable behavior was witnessed by people who had the moral authority, responsibility and power to intervene. Instead these people just accepted the disgusting behaviors that they observed as not worthy of any effort on their part. They should be deeply ashamed. They need to study the basic precepts of their faith. Were they too busy drinking whiskey and smoking cigareattes?

Not nearly enough skelpit erse's dished out to Thai youngsters, severe lack of discipline at early stages of life, these are the drug dealing gun toting youths of the future!!

I know the value of a life in Asia is by far different from what we have in Europe, but that people from a temple witnessed the violence without do anything and the gang was composed of children, this is well beyond my understanding.

More and more lack of values, of a real formative school, the example the parents give to the sons, will bring to a always bigger violence in this poor country.

May the "vagrant" rest in peace.
