mamborobert Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Its never been that hard to find Burmese kids at the Loi Kroh boxing bars and they are still pulling shifts tonight. I know any decent person wants to help these kids but handing out money (or soliciting from drunks whatever way you want to put it) just perpetuates this tragedy. Is there are particular reason why the many farang business owners cannot stop this one source at least by perhaps making patrons aware (posting the linked article in toilets etc) or at approaching the centre management. There have also been more than a few times when a drunk patron has been capitalised on as well. Saves two parties in the end. I give up on the flower and frog ladies........

Ricardo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hope that they hit the guys running the selling-at-the-traffic-lights kids, we buy only from the adults there, and I would encourage others to do the same ... vote with your wallets !

mesquite Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) They need to go after the demand side of the equation, the people who give these kids money and keep the sick business going. Can't these people buy books and flowers from adults in their own country? Sick. Hopefully they will be putting a few money-rich tourists in jail next time.

Pretty much says abused at night. So I guess saying sexually abused rather than the term rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dag Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 By the way....if a tourist that is not 'money rich' gives a few baht to these kids....should they also be locked up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
