Pomthai Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The school still felt it necessary to summon the parents the next day? What the hell for? Seems a bit heartless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 What an awful person you are, someone has lost their life and this is the tripe you come out with.Yes of course youthful crimes that aren't violently horrific should be treated with more tolerance from society. Still a good chance such kids can live good lives. Yes a real tragedy for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what would then have been the point of the school "summoning" the parents if he was, in effect, going to be let off "with no serious warning issued" (as stated in the OP) in any case?

geriatrickid Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I am surprised no one has attempted the "he was murdered" comment. Tossed as punishment for allegedly stealing. Is it because he is Thai and not worthy of a conspiracy claim as we see for farangs? The point being, is that often these horrible tragedies are just that, a tragedy.. A kid lost face when caught stealing and who had no way of repaying the money or in showing his face in school again after being publicly humiliated and having disgraced his family.

huangnon Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 We all did silly things as kids. Maybe some are too old and bitter to remember. Poor kid should have given himself a second chance. Feel sorry for his family. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
