Two Pre-Teen Boys Ransack Thai Elemetary School “Just for Fun”

[misskit]

SISAKET – The parents of two young Thai boys aged 8 and 9 are facing a hefty bill after they broke into a primary school and ransacked a classroom, causing more than 60,000 baht in damage, apparently just for fun.

Pol Capt Kittithat Chanthasen, duty-officer at Phayu police station in Sisaket Province said they made a huge mess of the classroom for Prathom 6 students in a single-story building at Ban Mung Nongtae School in tambon Phayu.

According to the Bangok Post teaching materials, a computer, a television and other equipment were destroyed and books torn to pieces and scattered about the floor.
White boards were coloured in black and cartons of school milk opened and spilled all over the floor, which was also left soaked with water colours.

The deputy director of the school, Ms Supin Sing-ngern, said there was no one there when the break-in occurred. Teachers and other staff were away on a study trip and the school is closed for the end of semester holiday. They were greeted with the destruction when they returned.

Pol Capt Kittithat Chanthasen said the vandals were two brothers, aged 8 and 9, who were Prathom 3 and 4 pupils at another school in Muang district.

Police took the boys in for questioning on Wednesday. The youngsters confessed to having ransacked the classroom, and explained that it was just for fun, not any ulterior purpose.

Pol Maj Gen Suradet Dentham, chief of Si Sa Ket police, said the boys told investigators they had broken into the classroom to play.

The school estimated the damage caused to the classroom at 62,692 baht and asked the boys’ parents to pay.

This left the parents, both construction workers, in tears. They said they could not find such a large sum of money to pay for the damage caused by their sons.

The school director later assigned his deputy to meet the parents and the boys and they agreed on a reduced damages payment of 40,000 baht. The parents promised to pay in monthly instalments.

The school was satisfied and agreed not to take action against the boys, said the police chief.

Why not 62,000? Why arent the boys being made to clean up the mess? There's no deterrent as the parents are the ones being punished.

Of course making infant children criminally responsible for their actions and forcing their impoverished parents to pay for any liability arising therefrom is only right in a society that punishes all evil doers equally, without fear or favour, in a rule of law that is carefully measured universally within its confines.

Christ, this place makes one truly weep.

Criminal Code Section 74.

Section 74 Whenever a child over seven years but not yet over fourteen years of age commits what is provided by the law to be an offence, he shall not be punished

So underage everything illegal seems to be legal if one isn't yet 14? Is that correct?

Oh, for fuck's sake Prag, it's a fucking medieval country where the peasants are fucked over daily. Get a fucking grip or move back to fucking Basildon.

Christ on a fucking bike, surely you can't be that fucking dumb.

Short on meds again Thegent? 'Basildon', you're having a laugh ain't yer?

Surely some community service for the scamps (tidy up the school) would be a little more appropriate than a huge fine for the poor parents? The Red Bull twat got of lighter than these kids

One of the many reason I couldn't give a single shit anymore about how these mental dwarves operate on a day to day basis.

Smile. Hello. Yes I like thai food. Yes I like thai lady. I am from a-meh-li-ka. Yes I can eat spicy. Anything below the surface I don't give a fuck anymore.

What the fuck are you dribbling on about. I was simply re- adjusting your moral compass for you so that you might know where ' being a fucking stupid twat ' might be.

In that context, Basildon was not just a geographical reference but one indicative of a mindset common among fucking idiots.

They're just village children in a society where billions of baht are stolen annually depriving them of a decent education, decent healthcare and an economic future not mired in slavish obeisance to wretched exploitation.

You silly twat.

Heh...He rode a donkey, you silly twat...

The picture probably looks worst than it is,an 8 and a 9 year old might throw some paper around and draw on the walls with crayons, mixing up some milk,water and paints etc.

An hour or two cleaning up and a few thousand baht to replace the stationary.

The fine seems inflated to me.

I have a picture of him at home on a bike giving dubbies to leapers and cripples, think it came from Vis.

I can imagine that the young lads are getting off with nothing but a scolding and coming out smelling like a rose - as they're probably reflecting the archetypal spoiled brats afforded to boys here.

Surely, their respective parents share some blame but shouldn't be asked to be holding the bag regarding compensation for their boys' actions.

There are ways in which the little shits could reimburse the school and community by working it off in some manner - as a lesson and punishment......

Not that this would ever come about - wouldn't want to traumatize the little darlings, would we?
