Wilsonandson Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The man should have been arrested for attempted murder. Released and allowed to go home a beat his wife up again. What a cowardly, spineless sh1t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 This could still end really badly for that child and I hold grave fears for his future safety. You can't do that, effectively a gamble has been made with this child's life. Can Peerawat effectively solve the issues with his girlfriend? Apparently that question has already been answered.

Tweeder Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Wow the flame and hatred of posters is disapointing. There is little access to mental health support in Thailand especially for poor people. Had he injured the child I could understand the vitriol, but a 20 minute standoff that ended peacfully was a cry for help. Even the police - who are not noted for excessive leanancy and compassion in Thaland - released him without charges ( or a beating ). In contrast to post here there was nothing saying he was drunk, he had no weapons, and no reson to believe he ever beat his wife, girlfriend or anyone else. How would law enforcment or social services responded in YOUR country "rescuing the child and then telling the man to jump?" Better response from posters would be to be happy it ended peacfully, and wish there were better mental health and crisis intervention support in Thailand. That said - seems like the police did a good job. Kudos to the police for their restraint and recognizing the incident as a family/mental health crisis rather than a crime. Kudos too for managing the situation in a way that no one got seriously injured. In some countries including USA of which I'm a native - the the guy might have been shot by the police.

Released and allowed to go home a beat his wife up again. What a cowardly, spineless sh1t. He didn't attempt to murder anyone. Who said he was a wife beater? "Fight" doesn't necessarily mean physical assault, it often refers to verbal fighting. Edited August 6, 2016 by gdgbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well then be commenting that you wished his father had jumped when he had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
