In an extraordinary turn of events, former Democrat MP Tankhun Jitt-itsara has raised the alarm once again over the controversial operations of the self-proclaimed “mind-connection” cult. This time, the spotlight is on an absurdly peculiar figure — a nine-year-old child purporting to be none other than the offspring of Lord Buddha himself. Those claims alone would have been wild enough for a headline grab, but with resurgent online photos stirring the pot, the situation has taken a serious turn.
Storming into the technology arena like a knight on a digital crusade, Mr. Tankhun, who presently helms the Santi Pracha Dhamma Club, marched to the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) on Monday. His mission? To clamp down on this cult’s misadventures and bring some digital sanity back into the mix. In this high-tech age, where a click can make waves faster than a splash in the ocean, Mr. Tankhun had to haul a sack full of evidence to back his claims, including a particularly bewildering picture of adult devotees, down on their knees, worshipping the young boy during a recent religious jamboree.
And why, you may ask, are these digital antics so worrisome? Well, it appears that life played déjà vu with Mr. Tankhun when a previous court ruling dated August 28 prohibited any media from broadcasting the boy’s esoteric proclamations and spiritual shenanigans. Yet, much like a cat with endless lives, these broadcasts have purportedly reincarnated across various channels, potentially stepping right over the court’s threshold once again.
But in a world where the line between reality and virtuality blurs, Mr. Tankhun isn’t stopping there. He’s also implored the police to toss a magnifying glass onto a famed actress who has openly thrown her support behind this mystical mess via her Facebook posts on March 7. Her digital endorsements perhaps have too closely brushed against Section 86 of the Criminal Code, potentially aiding or abetting criminal conduct, not to mention treading into the murky waters of violating children’s rights.
The plot thickens, though, as Mr. Tankhun has also bundled up his reports and sent them packing to the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and the revered National Office of Buddhism. It seems like no stone is going unturned in this saga worthy of a dramatic thriller.
Adding another layer to this tangled web, the Surat Thani court, on the same fateful day of August 28, ruled that the boy’s parents must halt their prodigious progeny’s public preachings and instead escort their telepathically talented offspring to a psychiatrist for a check-up. One can only wonder where this curious tale will lead next!
I can’t believe people are actually buying into this ‘Son of Buddha’ claim! It’s absurd!
While it may seem absurd, belief systems are deeply rooted in culture. What’s irrational to one might be sacred to another.
That’s true, but we should focus on protecting children. This cult obsession could harm the boy psychologically.
But what if he really does possess some spiritual gift? It’s interesting to think about.
Even if so, it doesn’t justify the exploitation by adults seeking personal gain.
This is just another chapter in the long history of cults preying on the gullible. What a shame!
I was always skeptical of Tankhun Jitt-itsara, but I respect his proactive approach here. Someone needs to stand up against this madness.
If only more politicians took such a firm stance against exploitation. It’s heartening to see some action being taken.
Indeed. It’s an uphill battle but necessary. Exploitation of children should never be tolerated.
This makes for a fascinating case study on how cults adapt in the digital age to spread their influence. Sociologically, it’s worth examining.
You folks must be living under a rock! This ain’t the first time someone made wild claims for attention. Just ignore it.
Ignoring might not be an option if children’s welfare is at risk. We have to take responsible actions.
Yeah, okay, but at the end of the day, people need to think for themselves and not fall for such nonsense.
I’m concerned about the legal and ethical implications here. This could set a precedent for regulating religious expression online.
That’s a valid point. Balancing freedom of expression with protecting the vulnerable is a delicate issue in law.
While I don’t buy the boy’s claims, I’m glad authorities are watching closely. Hopefully, it leads to new protections for children against such exploitation.
Absolutely, children’s safety should be paramount. This should act as a wake-up call for better regulations.
How bizarre that a court had to step in to stop the parents! Really makes you question the parental role here.
It’s heartbreaking. Parents should be their child’s protectors, not their exploiters. This shouldn’t even be happening.
Exactly! Pushing a child into the public eye for such outlandish claims is ethically wrong.
Tankhun’s actions are a display of courage. It’s not easy standing against manipulative entities like this.
Faith can be a path to enlightenment or a tool for deception. This cult crossed the line.
Before passing judgment, let’s consider the boy’s side. Maybe he believes in his own power. We need compassion too.
Compassion is important, but it shouldn’t blind us to the potential harm being caused.
True, balance is key. We must protect him while trying to understand his perspective.
This Internet age amplifies both foolishness and awareness. Let’s use it for the latter and educate on critical thinking.
It’s shocking how fast misinformation spreads online. Kudos to Tankhun for trying to stop this at the source.
What’s particularly chilling is the involvement of celebrities promoting this cause. Influencers have a huge responsibility!
This whole situation reeks of a publicity stunt. I can’t believe people are still falling for these kinds of things.
Stunt or not, it’s impacting real lives and societies. That’s why it’s important to address.
I wonder what the outcome will be. Will this kid eventually reveal this was all a ploy?
