Pattaya Police appeal for help in locating parents of 5 year old child



PATTAYA: -- Pattaya Police were called to Soi Bongkot in Central Pattaya on Monday following reports of a 5 year old boy who was sitting on the side of the pavement and appeared to have become lost or was abandoned.

The boy, Khun Moona, was taken to Pattaya Police Station where he revealed the nicknames of his parents, Mr. M and Mrs Ern. He also revealed how he attended the Chaimongkol Temple Nursery. A teacher was called-in to identify the boy but did not recognize him.

Police had no choice but to take the child to the District Women and Children’s Shelter in Banglamung where he will be cared for while his parents are tracked-down.

If you recognize the child and can help to locate his parents please call Pattaya Police Station on 038 424 186 or the case officers private number 087 563 9035.

As a parent if I lost sight of my child for just 5 minutes I would be in a panic and straight onto the police for help to find him. Surely the parents have sensed that they are missing something

[wilcopops]

not sure that plastering his picture all over the media is a good idea?

[harrry]

Had that happen 35 years ago in Sathorn. Was walking with my daughter and this little one was crying her eyes out. My 7 year old daughter talked to her and found she was lost. TOok her to the church nearby and they called her school from her uniform. They sent a teacher. Her friends had gone on without her and she did not know her way home as she allways went with her friends. No one stopped to help. No one questioned us. Now I would be too scared to help her for fear of people thinking the worst of me.

[joepattaya1961]

Wilcopops, indeed not a great idea, but in this case I suppose it's the only way to "retrieve" the parents/relatives.

[GAZZPA]

Agree, but i suppose at least people who recognize the kid will come forward,, very sad.

[thhMan]

Unbelievable... You would think the parents after not finding the boy, would report it to the police and case closed.

Perhaps they are watching the soapies and just havent noticed.

After parents not contacting the police there would now be real concerns about their welfare. The young lad looks healthy and well cared for.

[Maggusoil]

It could be anything. There have been cases of kidnap and abandon. All sorts of things, why would you not publicise his picture anywhere?

I don't understand that.

Someone could easily recognise him and solve the mystery.

[Loles]

My warm regards to Mr. amd Mrs. idiot.

Parents?

If I lose my child the first thing I contacted with police and let my phone number to them.

I guess this boy an abandoned kid.

Sadly.

[maamoot]

If the kid really knows what school he goes to yet nobody at the school can identify him ? The child does not know his teachers name ?The child does not know what classroom he is in ? They don't have a list of students that go to the school ? No parents of the other children recognize the child ? None of the school bus drivers (if there are any) know who he is ? They cannot ask the kid about any school supplies he may have at the school which may help the police figure out who he is ? They only ask one teacher at the school ? This investigation makes no sense to me . If the kid went to this school they should be able to figure out who the kid is in ten minutes , if he did not go to this school then they should have said that the kid was mistaken .

[CTO]

Seems odd the school sent one teacher, I'd take the kid to the school, make sure they police got the right one,

[KittenKong]

Why not? Seems eminently sensible to me.

Or maybe they were trying to get the cash together so the police actually get off their asses and do something.

[Minnehaha]

Maybe Mom thought he was with Dad and Dad thought he was with Mom.

[Red Snake]

Poor Kid, what type of parents are they. The should have reported him missing within hours.

[SteveH]

Maybe Mom thought he was with Dad and Dad thought he was with Mom.

we did exactly that with our daughter, we were going on a family outing to Kanchanaburi using three cars, each thought that our daughter was in another car with

her cousins, we were about 20 minutes out before we realised that she was still at her grand mothers house.

[andyko]

Which one is this on the picture? Don`t know with no finger pointing...

[mrdome]

My warm regards to Mr. amd Mrs. idiot.

Parents?

If I lose my child the first thing I contacted with police and let my phone number to them.

I guess this boy an abandoned kid.

Sadly.

Wow, how (TV) judgmental and assuming.

We have no idea what happened to the parents after all.

[Zodaka]

After his mother wakes up at 3pm I am sure her keg or pals will inform her about her absent mindedness.

[easybullet3]

the boy is FIVE years old!!! surely he can give MORE information about his life than a school name and his parents nicknames!!!

My son was doing this at 2 !!!

5 years old he should be able to give the police a TONNE of information.

and dont they actually take him to the school,,, so he can recognize it to verify if it is his school or not? maybe he said the name wrong and therefore the teacher didnt recognize him!

this case seems like it COULD have been solved if they persevere and tried harder.

None-the-less,, who knows what happened to the parents. maybe they dumped him in pattaya on purpose? maybe they were tangled in some problem and felt it safer to abandon the son? or maybe they are just shocking parents?

surely they have gone to the police by now if they want their son back????

[daboyz1]

The cop is hot!

[bbbbooboo]

_{hmmmm.......It could be simply that some Thai parenting skills might be like their driving skills. I suspect I don't have to say anymore}

[lhvdberg]

No word about how long he's out on the streets. No information what so ever. But yes all the "so happy" farangs who "love Thailand" have their say. Sure Thailand is bad news to you guys. Just move away to your own country and be mister negative there. Almost every story here I see the negative response and yes some are understandable. But some of you guys just jump in a story and vomit their frustration out. You guys must have a poor and sad life.

[chooka]

The cop is hot!

She's ok. I must say the female BIB wear a uniform better than my peers in Melbourne.

[slipperylobster]

Perhaps he was referring to the other?

[harrry]

There is about 10 metres less material in her uniform than some of them over there.

[harrry]

Getting back to the topic it would be nice if the newspaper that originated this could follow up. Nice to know if he is safe.

[newermonkey]

This is sad and I hope it ends happily.

It could be that the parents have not considered going to the police because of the deep mistrust of their capabilities which is understandably the case nation wide.

Its very odd that no one at the school recognizes him! or did the stupid police only ask one stupid teacher?

I suspect the parents want to get rid of him or they would report him missing, in that case they don't deserve to have a child :-(
