Brave Kids Crossed The Sea To Find Mom

A 10-year-old girl held her little brother’s hand, and carrying only 100 baht cash, they left their home on Koh Larn island to find their mom, who had gone away to find work. They rode the ferry to land, but soon ran out of money. So they rested at a wayside shelter until a kind lady called the police.

PATTAYA – November 16, 2012 [PDN]; a report of two lost siblings found at a roadside shelter looking for their mother was received by Pol. Chanapat Nawalak, director of Sattahip police station. So he commanded the patrolling police to find them by broadcasting through the police radio.

The siblings were found at a roadside shelter on Sukhumwit Rd., at the top of soi Sattahipsukhumwit, 41, (Khaopet) Sattahip, Sattahip, Chonburi. At the scene, police found Mrs. Buakhian Sowanna, age 66 years old, a resident of Sattahip who found the children.

She was soothing the boy, who was weeping for his mother. The children said they got lost trying to find their mom. Their mother, later identified as Mrs. Boonyarat Tongsri, had left home and went to Sattahip to look for work.

The police brought the children and Mrs. Buakhian to testify at the Sattahip police station. The children told the police that they lived with their grandparents and mother at Koh Larn island.

I feel pity for these kids. Indeed sad that the mom need to leave home to work. No love is stronger than the love from children.

You feel pity for the children who's mother left them with the grandparents to go out and make money to support them? Would you rather she stayed with them and they had no food to eat? At least she left them with her parents as is very common in Thailand and didn't just leave them at home alone like is common in many western countries.

If you need kids to feel pity for, there is an entire orphanage of them here in Pattaya. They are more than happy to take your donations unless "pity" is all you can afford right now.
