Family claims body of child rally victim
The Nation



RAYONG: -- RELATIVES YESTERDAY collected from Rayong Hospital the body of Natchaya Rosungnern, who was pronounced dead on Tuesday from injuries inflicted when unknown attackers hurled grenades and fired shots at a rally site in Trat.

Meanwhile, Bangkok's Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health (Children's Hospital) and 43 children's organisations have separately called for children to be protected from hate speech and what they might see and hear at rally sites.

Natchaya was the second fatality from the attack against the anti-government rally in Trat's Khao Saming district on Saturday night. The first victim, also a 5-year-old girl, was pronounced dead on Sunday. Apart from the two girls, 33 other people were injured in the attack.

Natchaya's aunt Nareumon Rosungnern, on behalf of the family, was presented with Bt11,370 in cash donations from Rayong's Southerners' Club and Mae Daeng Market.

Nareumon said the girl's parents Chankham Somsati and Anek Rosungnern were in deep grief and couldn't go to the hospital. She urged police to speedily arrest the assailants. Nareumon said funeral rites would be held at Wat Boploy in Bo Rai district for five days before cremation.

Natchaya's grandmother Uthai Posayabutr, 65, said she and Natchaya attended the rally and stopped by a noodle shop on the way home when the attack took place.

Meanwhile, 43 children's organisations have condemned the violent incidents that have killed a total of four children, and urged the police chief to see that the wrongdoers are punished.

At the Thai Journalists Association office, Suthatip Thajchayapong read a statement from the group about the weekend attacks in Trat and Bangkok's Rajaprasong intersection. Offering condolences to the families, the group condemned those who carried out such attacks, and urged state officials to see that the wrongdoers are punished, while also implementing remedial measures for the damaged parties. The group also urged parents not to take children to rally sites and urged the organisers to prioritise safety.

Public Health Ministry Mental Health Department expert Dr Yong-yuth Wongpiromsan said children perceived information differently from adults. Hence, children at rallies would absorb violence - like hateful speech or weapons use - rather than any desirable messages advocating democracy or good citizenship. This could lead to violent copycat behaviour later.

In the meantime, Children's Hospital director Siraporn Sawas-divorn said the hospital wanted all sides to stop the violence and realise that it could mean assaulting or taking the life of innocent people.

Second, the hospital wanted parents not to take children to rally sites, as it could expose the kids to hate speech that could eventually affect their thinking and personality. Third, the hospital wanted everyone to protect children.

Siraporn explained that children learn more from copying behaviour rather than hearing parents' teachings. As a result all acts would be observed and remembered by the kids, even if they didn't know the meaning of such talk or action. Children responded to emotion and tone of voice, so they should be controlled near young ones.

Rest In Peace

I hope they will find the happiness they were so cruely robbed of on this planet another place...

And i really hope that karma will hit 10 folds for responsible

"Natchaya's grandmother Uthai Posayabutr, 65, said she and Natchaya attended the rally and stopped by a noodle shop on the way home when the attack took place."

What parents take a child to a rally???????
Really dumbasses and not worth of having children.

(Mantra commonly published by a lot of Yellows when a girl a girl was shot in a minibus in 2010.)

RIP to the young child.

Did you even bother to read the sentence you included in your own post ?

If she took the child to the rally or not wouldn't have made a difference to the outcome.,

Blame all you want.

By law, the ultimate person responsible for the Children is their parents.

Im lost for words, that statement is just seriously sick. Weapons are for defence, anyone using them otherwise are the RESPONSIBLE!!!

Bottom line, there is no need for any violence. These attackers are cowards. Then they should ban boxing from public tv. That is the most violent sport for a kid to see. We can say no to everything. Might as well be like the teliban. There is no reason that they can't go to the market. And there is no reason why people can't attend a peaceful rally, of any age.

So if the kid got killed going to the market with their parent and the parent has no affiliation with the rally, then the parent is not at fault? Instead of blaming the parents, blame the government for their failure to stop these out of control attacks. Chalerm declared a free for all when he made the statement about danger of third party. That in itself should be a criminal charge for inciting violence. Instead he should have said any third party creating problem will be sought after by all possible means. No terrorist acts will be allowed. Now did he even proposed that....NO. He really is a man with no moral value. He is responsible for these kids murder and yet again, the govt. will not take any responsibility.
