    Poor kid and what he had to go through. It is always the children that end up suffering in the end, unfortunately.

    Pretty lady with her happy son. What's he holding in his left hand?

    How is she supporting herself, her son and her parents. Does she have wealthy "brothers"?

    Left Hand? ... probably a chupa chup

    Money? She's probably has a Account which she has minted some coin away.
    That necklace has to be at least 2 baht gold, so there another 40,000 BHT

    I liked the GB connection though through the flagged pillow on the mattress.
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    It's a staged picture for FB and the media, kid will be left to run feral with granny back in the village when it's all died down and she'll be back in Pattaya earning another necklace...

    Anyone who wears Pikey jewellery like that is all about showing off, the muppet of a father needs to give her some serious coin now if he wants his son back..

    The only way this chap will get parental power is to divorce her in a Thai court and get a settlement that gives him it, or get a concensual agreement from her that he has parental power.
    I hope the thread buffoons read this as it pretty well sums up his predicament.

    The Thai babe has beautiful skin, blemish free (just like her character) and a colour Scots spend 100,000s every year to obtain. I would have liked to see more of her legs and teeth though, Thais can accumulate largish waists and legs. Judging by her breasts she is probably sound stock though. Missing teeth can, of course, be an asset.

    One wonders what the father's latest pregnant squeeze looks like and her age. Does his son want to stay when the new squeeze moves in with her new baby. Or will he be shipped of to the Scots granny in darkest Glasgow? How many other wives, around the world, has this "devoted" farther produced abandoned children with?

    As "arry suggest possible the Thai court will appoint a Thai counsellor who will determine where the boy wishes to live. Rather than a accepting Scots rag's opinion.

    Any TD CSI officials in Scotland with some spare time? Any TD CSI officers in Thailand want a fully funded investigation? Fares, accommodation, transport, clothing allowance, beer and incidentals ( all with appropriates receipts) "crowd sourced" by TD members.

    Why do they need to do that?

    If they aren't divorced in Thailand then the mother keeps him.
    As has been stated, he has two legal choices:

    - Win custody in a divorce case
    - Pay the bint off and buy custody

    Edinburgh dad in Thai jail tells of prison hell for ‘kidnapping son’

    DIANE KING Email Published: Tuesday 03 April 2018

    Jodie Smith - from Edinburgh travelled to Thailand in February after his estranged wife abducted their son Joleon in November 2017. 'He is now being held in Thailand on child abduction charges.

    A locked up Edinburgh dad has told of his prison torment after being jailed in Thailand for attempting to bring his son home. 41-year-old Jodie Smith revealed that he shares a cell with at least 50 people after he tried to take him 10-year-old son home after his ex took him away from the Capital.

    Speaking to The Scottish Sun, he said that he was arrested at Bangkok Airport for alleged trespassing at his ex’s house in a remote village. He attempted to fly home with his son after stating that he feared for his son’s safety after he claimed he was allowed to drink vodka and whisky.

    The carer admitted that he feared his estranged wife Jintra Jummaimuang Smith was neglecting their son, claiming that his son had begged him to come with him. He faces a 5-year wait in jail after tracking his son down and attempting to take him home after his wife had fled with him to Thailand.

    He enlisted the help of Abducted Angels charity boss Sean Felton, who flew with him to help. Speaking to the Sun about the ordeal Jodie said: “I’m innocent of the charge against me. “I love my son. He’s my life and I’d have moved heaven and earth to get him back home safely with me. “I wanted to bring him back for school and all his friends. “So I don’t feel I did anything wrong by trying to bring him home to a safe and loving environment.”

    “I’d tried over and over again to get in touch with Jintra, to make her see sense, but she wouldn’t reply. “We went out to the village where Jintra’s house was. She wasn’t there and then Joleon ran out in tears shouting, ‘Dad!’ “I noticed that he had a nasty injury to his leg and I quizzed him about it. He told me he had fallen off a motorbike. “Joleon was crying that he wanted to come home, that he’d had enough.

    He also admitted to me that he’d been drinking whisky and vodka. “He’s a 10-year-old boy for God’s sake — I just couldn’t believe it. “I was absolutely furious that his mother could allow that to happen. “So I told him, ‘Go into the house and get your passport.’ “Sean and I waited outside and we didn’t set foot inside the house. Joleon went and got his passport.” He added: “Joleon wanted to come with me and he was injured. “I tried to contact Jintra and she even sent me a text saying, ‘He will have a better life with you.’

    “I thought that I was in the clear and we could head back to Edinburgh.” “Every morning we are woken up at 6.30am, and at 8am they play the national anthem and everyone has to stand out of respect. Breakfast follows at 8.30am then the cell is unlocked. “We are allowed to walk in the perimeter and exercise yard until 4.30pm, when we have to return to our cell for the night. “Even the guards here have said that they can’t seem to understand why we are both there.”

    THAI ORDEAL Edinburgh dad behind bars in Thailand after trying to rescue his ‘kidnapped’ son

    Jodie Smith, 41, was held as he tried to fly out of Bangkok airport with Joleon, nine. His mum Lidia is now scrambling to raise over £5,000 to pay legal fees and get him freed

    A SCOTS dad is behind bars in Thailand after trying to rescue his “kidnapped” son.
    Jodie Smith, 41, was held as he tried to fly out of Bangkok airport with Joleon, nine.



    Jodie jetted to south east Asioa to be reunited with son Joleon. The carer, of Oxgangs, Edinburgh, tracked him down to the remote home of estranged wife Jintra — accused of fleeing Scotland with their lad.
    His distraught mum Lidia Smith, 67, said: “Our hearts are breaking.”

    Lidia told of the family’s anguish after cops arrested the doting dad as he and lad Joleon prepared to jet home to Edinburgh. He’s been charged with abduction and trespassing, leaving Lidia scrambling to raise over £5,000 to pay legal fees and get him freed.




    The gran insists Jodie, 41, went to recover the boy in a remote village three months after ex Jintra Jummaimuang Smith, 31, snatched him.
    Lidia, of Edinburgh, said: “He was taken by his mum Jintra out of Britain without our knowledge in November and Jodie just wanted to get his son back.
    “She’s getting off scot-free and yet my son is languishing in prison — we have no idea of the conditions.
    “Jodie has been beside himself ever since Jintra took Joleon away, wondering where he is and if he will ever see him again.



    Jodie’s distraught mum Lidia is trying to get him released“Losing my grandson has affected my health. Jodie tracked them down to a remote part of north Thailand via Facebook and he flew there when she refused to take his calls.”

    Jodie has been in a cell in Sakon Nakhon Prison — 400 miles north of Bangkok near the Laos border — since Thursday, a day after he was held at the capital’s air hub.

    Lidia claims Joleon was neglected by his mum in Thailand and sported injuries after he fell off a motorbike.
    It’s also alleged he was being look- ed after by his aunt aged just ten.



    He is being held in Sakon NakhonShe added: “When Jodie got there he found his son alone in the street outside the house.
    “Jodie rang me after being reunited with Joleon and he was so happy to have found his son. He even sent me a photo of the two together smiling — I thought everything was OK.
    “Joleon ran up to his dad’s car and Jodie later told me on the phone, ‘You should have seen the look on his face!’ Joleon was crying as he was so pleased to see his dad and they hugged each other.
    “Jodie discovered Joleon being looked after by his 10-year-old aunt and he had a nasty injury to his foot after falling off his mother’s motorbike. She was nowhere to be seen.



    “As soon as Joleon saw his dad he asked to go home as he didn’t want to stay there. So they entered the house just to get Joleon’s passport.
    “Now Jodie has been arrested at Bangkok airport. He and his son were taken in a van back to the north of the country and he has been put in a prison.
    “This isn’t justice. I just can’t believe this is happening to us. I just want my son and grandson back. This is a living nightmare.
    “I don’t believe that any father who loves his child would just stand by for the rest of his life and do nothing after his flesh and blood just vanishes — yet he is now being jailed for trying to find his son.”



    Jodies ex Jintra, right, fled to her homeland with the pair’s sonLidia pleaded with the authorities to resolve the issue — and get the pair home.
    She added: “The only thing he is guilty of his loving his son.
    “He just couldn’t bear not to ever see him again. I just hope that someone can help us.”
    Carer Jodie, of Oxgangs in Edinburgh, met his estranged missus in 2006 when he travelled for a year.



    Little Joleon is in the care of his auntShe got pregnant after four months and they flew to the UK to have the baby, meaning Joleon was a British national. They then tried to marry in Thailand, but the official stopped the ceremony when Jintra admitted she was already wed under local laws to another Brit.
    After she divorced him, the pair got hitched here.

    The relationship started to turn sour when the boy was two.
    They began co-parenting after splitting until November last year, but had a fall-out when Jodie refused to let Jintra take the boy to Thailand over the festive period.



    Sean Felton, founder of charity Abducted AngelsHe was stunned when she then fled to her homeland with Joleon, allegedly without his consent. Jodie and his mother went to Edinburgh Airport on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, desperate to meet them off the flight after learning Jintry was expected at her work here on January 1.
    But they never appeared and Jodie then went to the city’s sheriff court earlier this month and won a temporary custody order which ruled the youngster should be returned home.

    And after being blanked by his ex, he took drastic action and travelled to Thailand to rescue his son with Sean Felton, founder of charity Abducted Angels, who has also been arrested.

    Speaking before he travelled, he said: “I loved Joleon from the second he was born. She asked me if she could take him away for Christmas, but it meant taking him out of school, so I said no.

    “When she never told me dates, I assumed that was the end of it. She was due to have him for a few days, which meant I didn’t realise initially they’d left the country. But when she didn’t answer her phone to me I went round to her boyfriend.

    “He dropped the bombshell that she had taken Joleon on holiday.”

    JAIL HELL Edinburgh dad Jodie Smith freed from Thai prison 43 days after trying to rescue ‘kidnapped’ son

    The carer will jet home with Joleon, ten, after estranged wife Jintra, 31, settled the custody row and secured his release

    EXCLUSIVE

    7th April 2018

    THAI prison hell dad Jodie Smith has been freed 43 days after trying to rescue his “kidnapped” son.
    The carer will jet home with Joleon, ten, after estranged wife Jintra, 31, settled the custody row and secured his release.



    Jodie poses outside the prison with Sean Fulton, founder of charity Abducted Angels. Jodie, 41, from South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, told relieved mum Lidia: “I’m out. They’ve let me go.”

    Estranged missus Jintra Jummaimuang, plans to follow them home to South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, having helped seal Jodie’s release and held showdown talks.

    But Jodie has warned mum Lidia Smith not to give Jintra a frosty reception when she eventually returns to assume shared custody of their lad.

    Lidia, 67, said: “His exact words were that Jintra wants to come back to Britain.
    “He told me, ‘Don’t have a go at her as we want to look to the future and not the past’.
    “The fact is that Jodie would never have been in Thailand in the first place had it not been that he was desperate to see his son again.

    “Clearly there is a lot to talk about when they get home.
    “In the past 48 hours, Jodie and Jintra have been talking through what happened — and they have agreed that although they are separated it is important that their son has both of them in their lives.



    Linda and Jodie’s ex Jintra“Jodie’s lost 43 days of his life in prison since February 22, but at least he’s now safe.”
    Lidia learned of her son’s release in a shock phone call on Thursday night.

    She told of her delight and revealed she’s counting the days until the family is reunited — including Jodie’s pregnant fiancee Vikki Farquharson.

    Recalling the conversation, Lidia said: “The call came out of the blue after more than a month of silence and suddenly my son was talking to me.
    “He told me he had been freed from prison and he was with Joleon.
    “His first words were ‘Mum, I’m out. They’ve let me go’.
    “Initially I felt disbelief, then I was overwhelmed with relief and then I cried.
    “I won’t be able to rest until he and Joleon are safely back home, which will be a few days.
    “I want to put my arms around my grandson and see his face.
    “I tried to speak to him on the phone but he was totally overwhelmed and so emotional he couldn’t even say ‘hello’.
    “I said, ‘Hello Joleon, where have you been? I’ve missed you so much’. I just want him back where he belongs.
    “I’ve been to hell and back and my priority lies with Joleon. Thank God it’s almost over.”

    So it'll be Jodie, his pregnant fiancée, his son and the Thai mother of his son all together in Sweatyland.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Charity worker feared being raped in 40-day Thai prison nightmare

    Midlands News
    ByMike Lockley

    21 APR 2018

    A charity worker who spent more than a month in the hell-hole conditions of a Thai prison has told how he feared being raped. For 40 days and 40 nights, Sean Felton fought off perverts and killers in the soiled, sewer-stench confines of the rat maze that is Sakhon Nakon Prison.

    He survived in a cramped, squalid cell – home to 50 inmates – on three bowls of rice each day.



    Sean Felton spent 40 days in a tough Thai jail.He slept on the floor. He bathed with fellow lags in a trough of filthy, dirty water that, stagnant and over-used, stank of decay.

    Sean – one of only two Farangs (westerners) in the teeming hell-hole – witnessed beatings and worse.
    At first he was horrified. Then he became sickened. Then numbness set in.

    The 47-year-old founder of Abducted Angels, an organisation dedicated to locating children spirited abroad during acid family fractures, is back home now in the former pit village of Norton Canes, near Cannock.
    Since last Saturday, he has been home.

    But the nightmare of Sakon Nakhon – a nick where life is cheaper than behind bars contraband such as disposable lighters – still hangs from him.



    Sakhon Nakon Prison.He was flung into one of the world’s most brutal prisons for simple trespass, a mere misdemeanor here, but worthy of a five-year stretch in Thailand. And Sean insists he was left to rot without a court appearance or formal charge.

    His crime? He helped distraught Scottish father Jodie Smith bring his ten-year-old son Joleon back home. The pair were arrested after allegations they had entered the estranged wife’s home without permission.



    Sean Felton and his son Jobe from Norton Canes.Joleon Smith is now back with his father. It is another mission accomplished by Sean, but a mission accomplished at a heavy cost. The ordeal is written on Sean’s face. The harrowing memories contort his features as he discusses time spent in a black pit behind the bamboo curtain.
    Sean has survived, but he is scarred.

    “It was horrific,” said the father-of-one without the dimmest flicker of emotion, “it was torment. I never want to experience it again.
    “You were always scared of being raped. Blokes having sex in front of us was every day. You just had to look away.
    “If thoughts of your family entered your head, you had to think of something else quickly or you would go downhill. I think if I’d been there longer I would’ve broken down mentally.”

    Sean’s time in Sakhon Nakon – Thailand’s hidden underbelly – came without warning. Officers at a village police station chuckled as they announced “you’re going home”, then took him in a caged wagon to the facility, little more than a sewage system for lost souls. Sean vividly remembers being driven through the prison’s huge iron gates.
    “I was revved up,” he said, “I didn’t know what I thought. Really, I had no emotions.
    “They walked me through a door and I could see a huge exercise yard. As I walked down the corridor around 600 Thai prisoners ran chanting to the mesh fence.”
    The chilling chant was “you’ll die in prison”. It was to become the soundtrack to Sean’s time in Sakhon Nakon.
    Jodie had arrived inside before him and pulled no punches about the regime.
    Three thin blankets, three head counts a day and frequent choruses of the Thai national anthem. Be late for the latter and be clubbed.

    Found in possession of a lighter and five years was summarily added to your sentence.
    Fighting with a fellow inmate, five years. Answering a guard back, five years... It’s easy to build time in Sakhon Nakon.
    “Jodie and I spoke, but not a lot, “Sean explained.
    “We watched each others’ backs, but there were times when we had to walk away and have our own space. We needed our own thoughts.
    “The cell was an empty room with two holes in the floor for toilets.
    "There was a big fan on the ceiling that was always whirring and the light was on continually. Food was rice – morning, noon and 3pm. The weight just dropped off me, I was getting weaker and weaker.
    “The washing room was just a large vat of cold, filthy water. It smelt of crap, it was disgusting.
    “Days were spent sitting outside in the burning heat. The Thai prisoners had to work, we weren’t allowed to do anything. I kept asking, give me something to do.
    “In the main, guards were wary that if anything happened to me, they’d have the embassy on them. But they could be ruthless to the Thais. A lad was a couple of minutes late and got badly beaten with batons.
    “In the next cell, a 40-year-old prisoner died at 1am – you could hear the whistles from other prisoners to alert the guards. They moved that body at 3pm the following day.”

    The guards may have been restrained, fellow prisoners were not – and it was they, stressed Sean, who effectively ran Sakhon Nakon.

    Thankfully, one inmate – the prison’s daddy – had time for Sean.
    “He was a kickboxer called Singh and he had a lot of respect in there,” said Sean.
    “One day I had a bit of a rant and threw away the slops they gave us with rice.
    "He pulled me to one side and said, ‘Farang, there are many rules that you must obey’. I told him, ‘how can I do that when I don’t know the rules?’
    “You had to be strong, you had to constantly push prisoners off, you had to stick up for yourself, otherwise it was much worse.
    “One day, I was encircled by people I didn’t get on with. I thought, ‘this is it’. I did panic.”

    Sean’s unexpected release came just five days before he was due in court – Jodie had been set free only hours earlier. Jodie’s Thai wife Jintra Jummaimuang – accused of snatching their son from Edinburgh – played a key part in the pair’s liberation. She asked for trespass charges to be dropped and agreed to the child’s UK return.
    Had he faced a judge, Sean’s convinced a five-year sentence would have been imposed.

    The ordeal has not blunted his battle to find lost children. He feels it adds weight to the campaign for a global, multi-agency approach to curb the rise in abductions abroad.
    “It shook me up,” he added. “I never want to experience anything like that again and it will take a long time to come to terms with what happened.

    “I seem to be going through so much to be a voice for others.
    “But it proves what I’ve said there should be something there to support parents. It needs case workers, police, courts and embassies working together.
    “And don’t forget, because of what we did, one boy is back home where he belongs.”
