PM Yingluck's 10 year old son targeted by protesters

[pisico]

Targeting a 10 year old boy? Why do I think of Czarist Russia?

The local anti-thaksinistas doubters forget that when a mob is fired up (as in this case) many of them act as independent agents of the hatred fostered by the rhetoric coming from their leaders.

Furthermore, HI-SO school means nothing in terms of civility.

ITEM: Abhisit, son of one of the members of the board of CP Foods (arguably the richest and hungriest company for new lands and factories in Thailand) studied in Eton, was PM and now as a MP is behaving like a HI-SO thug inciting people to commit illegal acts: invasion of government property, disruption of their business activities and functions, and more. What ideals can be expressed for the good of the country when hatred of a family name is their prime target?

When a mob is on the move where and when will it stop?

A gory reminder: Historical fact. In czarist Russia, 1918 the fired up mob assassinated the Czar and wife (including their four daughters and their son and all those who chose to accompany them into exile and all members of the family,) the murder had been ordered in Moscow by Vladimir Ilitch Lenin, the leader of the mob.

A mob is a mob, is a mob... regardless of the language they speak and the ideals they claim to be fighting for.

SO you have proof that it was a small group of anti Thaksin demonstrators who appeared in front of the school? Just what has Abhisit got to do with this particular incident? Did he go to the same school?

I also think you need to read your Russian history

again. Just a slight generalisation how a firing squad turned into a mob?

Et tu Brute! Sophistry. Look it up.

parents do act like this and take out their vengeance on children for something that their parents may have done. Heard of it many times in Australia with the children of sporting heroes celebrities etc so yes I think this is story is probably true.

What is really scary is that you claim to be an ex copper. So quick to rush to judgement without any interest in facts and proof. No wonder so many people don't trust police. Why do you insist on constantly proving what many think of you?

[Dogmatix]

If this is fabricated, it is unlikely to have been fabricated by Yingluck herself in order to traumatise her son. A govt thug, such as the one at the Labour Ministry could easily have organised the men in black in a Surat registered pick-up.

AMBUSH---the 10 year old, if you believe this you believe anything.

If any whistle blowing or other means then that is wrong, BUT the PM must understand that she and her family are targets, the kid should have tutoring at home until the conflict ends.

Did hear that the PM was going to Russia, how many trips has she had to date--meaning how long has she been away from her child ???? she is not here enough to take care of the country let alone her boy.

Sorry to posters that disagree with this post-BUT I would have thought at this state of play any normal parent would NOT expose the kid to allow people to intimidate him. It is not his fault, but why not think PM about his welfare first.

In normal circumstances this would not occur--but this is not a normal situ. Prevention better than cure. Up to you PM but I would have made different arrangements for the kid at this time.

Bash needed !!!

It is despicable that you appear to condone and try to explain away a very ugly incident.

That you consider the 10 year child of the PM, quote, " a target " unquote really says a lot about you.

Shame.

Actually not ex.......

Just my opinion from experience dealing with parents.

BTW, since Nong Pike was born out of wedlock, does that make the poor lad a b**stard?

Not very nice of the parents.

[Harry2]

History shows fascist thugs are capable of anything - Suthep would do anything & everything to avoid his day in court.

A genuinely monstrous man who would destroy his country to avoid justice, clearly the most evil & contemptible man in post-war Thai history.

[Jim walker]

No family or moral values in Thailand bulling a child for political ends against a political party, could you get any people of lower character or morals disgusting.

[nottocus]

It'll do him good.

Toughen him up. Put hairs on his chest.

a) it is not sure that it happened at all

the son is 10 year old.....think of yourself at this age.....happily I would have been part of this game, making a good show to discredit my mums enemies. And look at the general behavior of the young and old Shinawatras. I would perfectly fit in. (Think for the many small scandals of Thaksins son.....)

Well if he is going to be P.M of Thailand one day he certainly will need to be tough

For a start we don't know--secondly why put the son in this position given the situation-- he should not be a target he should not be at school at this time, he should be cared for and protected.

Did you read my post ???? your reply didn't indicate it, it indicated to be you used my post because of your attitude.

Read it again, most of it was being about protecting the kid, and avoidance. Why did I condone it ???

Think you have got my post mixed with another.

They will be targets at this time of unrest, Your post is attacking me for no reason. GET REAL

[chainarong]

That is too low for comfort...and shame on the parents of his school mates if they are also intimidating him. Keep it civil people.

The young man has no imput into the current situation , the lad is only 10, leave him and all the family alone , unless they become involved.

Calm down curly... Shouty capitals is something that Thai politicians would use

[waza]

if this is true its despicable, however, there is very little evidence that it is more than a ply for sympathy and it would certainly appear to be out of charter for the anti-government protestors.

[jaidam]

A few old ladies blowing whistles will not be harassing a highly decorated war veteran with a chestful of medals that makes Idi Amin's jacket look dull, even if he is only 10 years old.

[gerry1011]

The reactions of the pro Dems/yellows/toppling of an elected government are really funny

Any piece of news against the government and the reds can only be taken as the full and exact truth that everyone should believe. Except those brainless, uneducated, x#&%+@# people who don't understand what real democracy is and still want to rely on elections.

Any piece of news that taints the reputation of the gentle and good hearted protesters who take the country hostage can only be a set up...

Very entertaining. I love to be with you guys

However, cowards attacking a child... Well, I did not know they could lower themselves.... that low. Gives me nausea.

I can't help but reminded of the fake bomb scare outside of Thaksin's home. I don't believe this article for a minute.

I think this is nothing more than to demonize the anti-government protesters and alarm the ignorant which from what

I can see seems to have done just that.

[aussieinthailand]

This is all fantasy and propaganda, that place would be riddled with cameras and security. Everything would have been captured, yet they present no proof whatsoever. On top of that, the parents who have their children at such a hi-so establishment would be way above heckling as they would also be hi-so people.

None of it has a shred of credibility about it. Just another pawn in the propaganda game..... shame on them!

You lot can be fooled by this, but I certainly am not.

" the parents who have their children at such a hi-so establishment would be way above heckling as they would also be hi-so people."

Yeah right,,, HI-SO people never do anything wrong now do they. what absolute elitist twaddle.

[Magenta2013]

smart propaganda move by Yingluck.....

children and pets always move the hearts. And no CCTV here.....

What's next evil terrorists blow the whistle at Yinglucks poodle?

Well, its possible this is as true as Sutheps "1 million protestors" claim, that he keeps claiming when in fact it was less than 200,000 at its very peak - most experts suggest around 150,000 - or around 0.02% of the Thai Population.

And yet Suthep was still proclaiming his million last night in his lastest diatribe about how he wants to kill democracy forever.

Propoganda wars are ongoing.

The Bangkok Post is firmly in Suthep/Democrats corner - its so biased the Post is now laughable.

[Bkkbound]

Whatever the rights and wrongs of this whole saga it's clear Taksins era is finally coming to an end. Dragging this out is only likely to provoke one the groups, police, military, para miliatary forces to make a move. UKs C4 news gave this a 5 minute report last night. The obvious and simplest answer is for the military to do what they historically have done , get it out the way before the 5th and all will be well, everyone returns to their usual business.

In a couple of years try another bout of democracy in a country that does not understand the concept.

This sounds like a sympathy campaign to me.
What kind of adults would actually do that? Were there witnesses? Video?

I'm not saying it couldn't happen.
But I wouldn't be so quick to take this at face value.

[Moruya]

I blame the idiot Thaksin

If he kept his family - wife, sisters, cousins and sons out out of politics then fair eniogh

He brought them all in so let him repent on his sick and self-serving sins

[SABloke]

Yet another bunch of morons here ask for cctv videos on youtube and speak about propaganda. We also wait for the video of the redbull son dragging the cop so it must also be propaganda...

You really should think twice before writing.. the mor you write the more we see you are the bottom of the manure pit

Don't necessarily need video footage of the redbull case, as he already admitted to hitting the cop, and lots of evidence (real evidence) was supplied to the police.

Apples and Pears mate.

[Thai at Heart]

I know the school, and they would have no clue of what is really required for security of real VIPs.

Thai security. Says it all.

I think it's inevitable. It isn't going to be pretty though. There will be some problems.

That said, this time they have to come up with something better than last time. There has to be proper clearing of corruption on all sides.

Spot on. Worth mentioning that most reviled dictators send their offspring abroad for education. Hun Sens kids went to the USA and Australia, Big Bob Mugabe's son went to study at South Africa, Korean Kim's went to Switzerland, and didn't Thaksin himself send his oldest daughter off to get a degree from Kentucky State? Yingluck's son, who is being groomed to take the reigns in the future needs a decent enough education for him to appreciate the suffering his nepotistic family cause to their subjects.

From the headmaster, posted on their website:

Dear Parents,

In the past 24 hours there have been rumours circulating about politically motivated attempted security breaches at School. These rumours are untrue.
None the less, today we have reviewed security at School and will ensure that all staff are vigilant in order to ensure the children's safety.
I request that all parents support the School by ensuring that no politics are brought on Campus. Our School is a place for children to enjoy learning.

Thank you.
Michael Farley, Headmaster
