Body of newborn child found at East Pattaya rubbish dump

PATTAYA: -- A refuse worker discovered the body of a newborn child as he searched for recyclable items in rubbish at an East Pattaya rubbish dump on Tuesday afternoon.

Nongprue Police were called to the location late on Tuesday afternoon and inspected the body of the newborn male whose umbilical cord was still attached.

Evidence of a broken right arm was documented but, according to Police, may have been sustained after death had taken place.

Khun Boonsing aged 40, a refuse collector, confirmed that he had earlier picked up refuse from Soi Mapyailia and taken it to the dump.

There are some stories that just keep recurring in Pattaya news and sadly this is one of them.

Well, the mother will have to live with this on her conscious until the end of her days, and I'm fairly sure it's gonna be a heavy burden!!!

I saw this once in Okinawa Japan in 1962, the infant was in a klong along side the road, I was in a bus and couldn't do anything about it. Very sad thing to remember.

I don't agree with your statement - I don’t think the culture is geared in Thailand for regret or conscious guilt based upon dumping a child into the trash bin - there is little if any true regard by the parents for the care and up-bringing of children.

Especially the common act of the burden being carelessly passed along to the grandparents to raise the children from infancy to adulthood without ever knowing their real parents - the children are confused through adulthood who is their mother or father and this is truly appalling. There is no nuturing and parenting by the mother and father.

Little if any true regard is given to the births here and it’s a much larger problem here than in other developed or even under-developed countries as well. Most other under-developed countries seem to raise their children themselves - in Thailand the children are passed off to family as soon as they are born and the 2 parents never become a real parenting part of the child’s life.

Most of us are accustomed to raising our own children and if we are lucky enough to benefit from the coaching and assistance from compassionate and caring parents to guide us through those years we should be thankful - otherweise we simply deal with it - we recognize the reality that we are a parent and have a responsibility to raise the child - this is a culture aspect of our up-bringing and was shown to us by our parents – not here in Thailand – the culture is to simply hand the kids over to g-mom and g-dad and run like hell.

No wonder some girls especially those who do not have a husband and pregnant do such a dastardly thing as dump a child into the trash and run.

This is sadly becoming an all too common thing to be happening, especially in pattaya. Why not just give the baby up for adoption? There are literally 1,000's of people that desperately want a child of their own but are not fortunate enough to have one. Doing something like this to the baby is just about as mindless and thoughtless and cruel as ever anything could ever be.

There are lots of people in Thailand who have always been told that their mother is actually their sister, and may never know the truth. If the child has a secure upbringing and spiteful neighbours do not blab...is it such a bad thing, compared to being tossed in the trash?

This is tragic for all concerned & has happened in several 'enlightened' societies recently

Australia ,UK & USA has had several similar incidents over the last few years.

It seems to have to do with socio economic values & unsupported females , most of young age.

Tragic no matter how you look at it

IMO

Maybe if they were open to abortion then the mother in question could have avoided this which I'm sure would have been just as hard if not harder to go through with. Not trying to empathise with her just saying.
