24-hour protection provided for Sa Kaew girl prostituted to teacher

SA KAEW, 24 July 2013 (NNT) – Police officials are now providing protection for the family of a girl who was prostituted to a teacher in Sa Kaew to prevent them from receiving any threats from the alleged offender, who has been freed on bail.

Social Development and Human Security Minister Paveena Hongsakul announced that the police have charged Suthep Sombunphong with child abduction and supporting human trafficking and prostitution. The accused is a teacher in Watthananakhon district of Sa Kaew.

The family of the 13-year-old girl has been placed under 24-hour police protection.

According to Minister Paveena, local police will launch further investigation to find evidence that will help lead to the prostitution ring.

She also urged anybody with leads to prostitution or human trafficking to help provide the information, saying that she aims to sharply reduce the human trafficking problem by next year because the United States' monitoring of Thailand as a transnational human trafficking hub does not bode well for foreign nations' confidence in the country.

saying that she aims to sharply reduce the human trafficking problem by next year because the United States' monitoring of Thailand as a transnational human trafficking hub does not bode well for foreign nations' confidence in the country.

Reading between the lines of this statement it appears the driver to reduce human trafficking is foreign nations' confidence in Thailand, not because it is inhumane and is a totally dispicable act against the human race.

and the girl's family knew nothing I suppose

Very astute you are, by stating the obvious.

"The family of the 13-year-old girl has been placed under 24-hour police protection".

Now if the offender is a threat to the family and witnesses, one simple question "<deleted> is he doing out on bail?" if this was elsewhere he would be locked up. More cost effective and more surety that he won't get at the family if he is locked up. Geez did the BIB even oppose bail?

Exactly. One of the basic objections to bail is the threat of intimidating victims or witnesses. The offender is a teacher, the type of person to whom we entrust our children and he has abused that trust big time.

Bail ? The mind boggles !

Free on bail for offense like this ?? Funny country !

Obviously it is not obvious to Minister Paveena.

If this was elsewhere, he would not only be locked up, he would learn what it feels like to be someone's b***h/bride. Even prisoners in a penitentiary find this teacher's actions more repulsive than does the Thai legal system.

Inappropriate language.

and the girl's family knew nothing I suppose

Absolutely! They knew nothing, everyone knows that.

Where's his name, address and photo with smiling police officers standing behind him?

Oh right, he isn't a foreigner.

and the girl's family knew nothing I suppose

Absolutely! They knew nothing, everyone knows that.

Descendants of Sgt Schultz maybe?

No shock there........it was pressure from the US that made Thailand take action on paedophilia, and the US should be lauded for it. It's up to other governments and agencies such as the UN to tell Thailand straight, you do this, and we will sanction you.

t's only through this type of pressure that Thailand will ever get it's act together.

Change must come from within. Pressure from the UN and the US isn't really working for N. Korea, Syria, Myanmaar....and on and on and on.

Stricter laws from within Thailand, down with the class sytem, bribery corruption. Pretty much what every country on earth needs

...ahm...sorry, it is only 9 am and maybe I am a bit slow, but...

1) she was 13

2) he was a teacher

3) he is out on bail

4) the police have to protect her 24/7 now...

There is SO MUCH wrong with this story, I guess even a liter of coffee will not help me to understand!

One question, though: she was prostituted by who?

is there an old granny lurking in the background with Baht signs in her eyes ?

Be fair guys! If BIB convicted of murder can get bail, who's going to think twice about an alleged paedophile teacher?

OTOH it would be nice if he was at least suspended from work (inactive post?)

I am very encouraged by Minister Paveena's appeal to the public for any leads to the practice of prostitution.

There is a teacher at my old school who has a students sleep over at his home and other teachers hear them having sex but on does anything about it.

so they just release this dangerous

predator on bail ????

All perfectly normal in Thailand. T.I.T

It's sad that Thailand only reacts to pressure and threats that have an economic or potential economic consequence. A supposedly religious country and yet little if any evidence of strong internal morals. This money driven aspect to society seems to get worse and worse and permeates all levels of society.

Does Paveena Foundation only get involved when the victim is Thai? as they have a keen interest in this case whereas they apparently did noting to protect or aid the 12 year old Burmese girl whose body was mutilated and burned over the course of years detained as a domestic slave.

no-one including you i might add???......

Under these bail circumstances, I wonder why they don't control the teacher 24 hours a day

when a angry mob is needed !! nobody is here .

"The family of the 13-year-old girl has been placed under 24-hour police protection".

Now if the offender is a threat to the family and witnesses, one simple question "<deleted> is he doing out on bail?" if this was elsewhere he would be locked up. More cost effective and more surety that he won't get at the family if he is locked up. Geez did the BIB even oppose bail?

To kidnap more kids?

"24-hour protection provided for Sa Kaew girl prostituted to teacher"

I think the big question is what are they going to do when the 24 hours is up!

I also wonder if he is still working in school?

No way would he be "someone's b***h/bride"

The other prisoners would want to know all the details over and over from the teacher and he would be asked "when I get out I want you to get me one of those young sluts"

Years ago when I visited a small village up in Esarn the local teacher was openly sleeping with kids from his school, he even offered me to "pick any you like boy or girl, I can arrange it for you" I did of course politely decline the strange offer though!

This seems to be the way of the society here.
