Convicted child abuser Peter Dundas Walbran arrested teaching at Thai school

[OldgitTom]

Don't pile all the blame on Thailand. There is an influential, international network giving very high-level protection to pedos. It contains senior pols, diplomats, police, spooks & journos. It is held together by mutual blackmail. Don't believe me, look into the evidence. For the USA, try the suppressed Youtube vid, 'Conspiracy of Silence'. Read up the horrors of the Bradford (UK) events, then the much-blanketed Westminster pedo ring, & UK care home atrocities against children going back decades. If you have the stomach, investigate the Doutroux-Milhaud cases from Belgium - home of the EU. You'll also learn about child murders, child-trafficking, & much about official collusion.

Why is it that so often farangs are the perpetrators of child abuse and pedophilia?

It raises the question whether there is systemic dysfunction in western cultures that perpetuates such sickness along with all the other rude, uncivilized, self-centered behavior often exhibited by farangs in Thailand.

[maewang99]

why are these pedophiles always farlang? because the schools don't generally like to hire blacks, and they have lots of whites to choose from...as for Asians.... Filipinos... they are largely honest working people. that's what I have always found. not just here. but farlang? tons of them and we do like to be legal so they get a one year visa pronto... that they might (we might guess this) otherwise have not have been able to get for much of any other legal and paid employment... and it is fun and easy because they are not really teaching. so that leaves us only with the Thai contract workers, and that system works like it does everywhere else, they are straight and very hard worked until they become official teachers.... whites are not in that system, they just don't get to ever be civil service. that was an easy one to comment on. it's a slam dunk.

As an Australian, I am embarrassed by the failure of my country to keep this character under close scrutiny. But, I am also proud of the fact that I can be openly critical of my country’s authorities without fear of attitude adjustment!

The key point in the SMH article is that failure by Australian authorities (to do their job properly) allowed Walbran to again teach children in Asia, even though he was deported from Indonesia to Australia last year.

As the SMH says, it raises questions about the effectiveness of Australia's National Child Offender Register.

Incredulously, two weeks after his arriving back in Sydney on temporary Australian travel documents, he was served papers ordering him to register his Indonesian convictions with Australia's National Child Offender Register. BUT, surprise, surprise, he failed to do so, and was thus free to flee Australia again early this year on a New Zealand passport that he had acquired while in the Australian State of New South Wales.

Unbelievably, AND inexcusably – had due process been enforced, he would have been on the Australian child sex offender register, which should have meant that he would be required to report any intended travel. This would have allowed the Australian Federal Police to alert Thai authorities to his arrival in the country (and, I’m sure he would not have found employment at the Narinukun School.

Whilst the AFP failed miserably, thankfully a Melbourne investigator, Glen Hulley was able to step up and meet the challenge. It was Hulley who tracked Walbran down (not the AFP, and not the RTP).

Hulley is one very interesting character and I strongly recommend you see the following link about him: http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/the-reallife-paedophile-hunter-aussie-former-cop-glen-hulley-to-combat-child-sex-gangs-in-asia/news-story/2278c4d84497e6cebaa2fa32fa851ba9!

Dumbest comment of the day? Decade?

I applaud the arrest of any criminal. Regardless of this man's past convictions, the charges in Thailand are yet to proved in court. Therefore, I read and wait for the slow wheels of justice to turn. Hopefully, the other self-anointed and self-appointed judges will take a personal inventory and wait in turn.

Of course he's innocent until proven guilty but if you knew anything about paedophiles, then you would know that they are like leopards, they never change their spots. I, for one, cannot accept anyone giving time to this particular piece of excrement. I see that he is a dual citizen, OZ/NZ and if I am correct used his new NZ passport to enter Thailand. One has to ask why, was it to conceal his prior activities carried out in Indonesia whilst travelling on his OZ passport. What would you say? My post is not about guilt or otherwise, he is a convicted paedophile, and can get a new passport, a new job with children. I just hope, if you have young childrfen, they never experience any meetings with paedophiles. What would your post be then?

it always concerns me, the methodology of people stating someone is 'innocent until proven guilty' in this particular media supressed topic of pedophiles ...and then muddying the waters to create some doubt in the minds of others .... any male who is charged and found guilty of sexually molesting boys ' for several years' - particularly in any third world country, where it's easier to get away with it - is not an aberration, it's a life choice ... he should do humanity a favour and top himself

Well, indeed. What I don't get...in the context of hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on child protection around the world, probably billions..is why there cannot be a viable, reliable international database of child sex offenders so that schools can check directly on prospective employees and visa issuers can do likewise. Surely every country would subscribe in order to minimise the risk of it happening. Certainly parents would be reassured by it.

It's a sad and sorry state of affairs when there is a 'smell' about any male teaching young kids even though sex offenders probably account for 0.0001% of those in the (honourable) profession.

Yes, agreed with the points you have provided, however, with this thing, he was ordered to place his name on the child offenders' list in Austtralia, however the government never took it upon themselves to do that and the next thing they knew is he did his little flight of fantasy to Thailand using his NZ Passport. If the school he was at in Thailand did a simple Google search they would have seen his criminal record, and hopefully never employed him.

At this stage, with the assistance of the Australian Federal Police, he has been detained him on suspicion of possession of child pornography, acting on laws introduced only two days prior. If it is found he has not committed any offences in Thailand, it is envisaged he will be deported owing to being a person of bad character.

Very few schools in Thailand do any checks, nor do they care if you have a degree, and many do not care or help you to obtain a Non B Visa and Work Permit. My experience with 7 schools, some do help you obtain the proper paperwork, 50% do not. I am a Canadian Native English speaker, with a degree in Education. They just look at "Native English speaker."

Having worked in the education "system" in Thailand I endorse your comments completely.In fact there is such a shortage of teachers especialy in deemed "undesirable foreignerlocations" that they basically will take anyone.

A friend of mine from Ireland, is teaching in southern Thailand ,has no qualifications,no degree but was snapped up with no questions aked ,not even a CV etc.His accent is very broad Irish and even I have difficulty sometimes understanding him.He has fellow teachers from Holland ,China and from Glasgow. At lunch they have trouble understnding each other so imagine how the children go.Farcial but schools pay peanuts and they get what they deserve and the pupills suffer

If you understood the context then you would understand that " Of course he is innocent" was my being sarcastic toward the previous poster's bit about charges are yet to be proven in court. He hasn't been charged with anything that I am aware of at this time, only arrested on suspicion of possession of child pornography. No one is muddying any waters to create doubt, he is, as stated, a convicted paedophile, and that is factual. The last bit I agree with.

Does anyone wonder why they want to replace Farangs with Thai English teachers?

[MobileContent]

Thats why the Thai's now want the farangs out of the Thai schools in teaching English.

Let the Thai sort out their English problems and if they can't sort it out its the problem of the Thai's.

my apologies

[Jeremy50]

One problem is that many Thais and Thai teachers are no better! I have experienced that more than one time by myself:

* When I got my first teacher job (matheum) here in Thailand, the PE teachers in the school told me which students who where selling sex for grades and money.

* In one college that I worked at, the Thai PE teacher got one of the students pregnant. They are now married....

* One of my Thai friends lost her husband so she re-married with a former student... same month he graduated from matheum 6.

* I know both lesbian and gay Thai teachers who are having affairs with their students. It's known and accepted in their schools as they are same sex couples...

Yep, It's all too common, not only are Thai schools infiltrated with many foreign abusers, but the locals are at it too. The last school I was at, one of my 14 year old female students was already the girlfriend of the 30 year old female PE teacher, the kid even wore a ring and was proud of their relationship, which had lasted a year. The school before that had a 30 something Thai male teacher who thought it was OK to massage his young teen girls during exams while I was in the room supervising the test, god knows what went on during his regular classes when he was alone with the students. The foreign sex pests have to be a bit more subtle, but after a while one can recognize the 'signs'. Buying gifts for favorites, being rather 'touchy feely', lots of after school 'classes'. Classic grooming. Seen it all.

Jailed in 2012 for rape and molestations of minors and his already out? and in Indonesia

who is known for stiff penalties? something not right here......

Another area where BIG MONEY counts.

[Time Traveller]

You're linking to a newspaper report that is over four years old since when he has been arrested and imprisoned in Indonesia and is no longer on any wanted lists.

This creep left Australia somehow on a New Zealand passport to come to Thailand so your implication that Thailand somehow bears responsibility for his current situation is out of line.

Does thailand not issues thai visas or work permits any more?

[Time Traveller]

It raises the question whether there is systemic dysfunction in western cultures that perpetuates such sickness along with all the other rude, uncivilized, self-centered behavior often exhibited by farangs in Thailand.

Try learning to read newspapers in another language. Maybe then you'll realize the systemic dysfunction is in a country that is all talk and no action on mandatory background checks for all teachers.

Many.

Are yu really suggesting there are more sickos in teaching than there are in say Pattaya for example?

[MadMuhummad]

Just how many more of these twisted people are here in Thailand teaching or having access to young children? I really wish the international community would work more closely together when it comes to crime and especially those already with serious criminal charge sheets.

A simple loophole allowed this creep to get a NZ passport - if NZ had known about his past, would they have issued him with a passport? And frightening to see that neither Immigration, the Ministry of Education nor the school even googled his name.

What loophole was that? How did an Australian citizen get his hands on a NZ passport? Something wrong with the system.

While its apparent there is minimal to no checks in schools in Thailand it is initially the failure of the western authorities that have facilitated this incident.

Not being a Thai apologist but pointing out that even the 'mighty west' get it wrong also....

[Aussieroaming]

I think he's referring to the fact that if that have zero foreign teachers it stops the future possible of foreign pedos finding a way in.

Not a perfect system by all means but, hey, gotta give them A for effort lol

I don't believe pedophiles are ALWAYS Farang.

It's just that pedoFarangs make the news, because it's UNUSUAL. Thai people notice it because they think Farangs are better than This and it breaks their stereotypes.

PedoThai teachers don't often make the news because it's "normal" (usual, frequent) and because of cultural denial.
