Yesterday in the late afternoon hours, the watchful guardians of the peace at Bang Kaew Police Station, situated within the bustling province of Samut Prakan, dutifully responded to the desperate pleas for help from a 14-year old adolescent and his younger sibling, merely 10 years of age, from the confines of their domestic environment. Their 39-year-old progenitor was subsequently restrained and taken for an intense round of interrogative discourse following serious accusations surfaced by the preadolescent’s maternal bearer of recurrent child maltreatment.
The father was alleged to have dispatched intimidating multimedia content showcasing brutal acts of violence targeting the young boy, in a disturbing attempt to pressurize their return home. An unpleasant examination revealed the boy bearing several physical markers indicative of repeated abuse. As the questioning continued, the 39-year old presented an elaborate defense, vehemently rejecting the maltreatment charges and claiming a crafty subterfuge had taken place. The blood-soaked visuals in the aforementioned video were merely an artistic illusion brought to life through the application of food colouring, a tool used to heighten the drama and distress perceived by the viewer.
Further, he negated allegations of assault, blaming on creative videographic manipulations which, by altering viewing angles, magnified the severity of the act without inflicting substantial harm. Evading accusations concerning the evident injuries on the boy’s waist, he argued these outcomes to be the resulting aftermath of a dog bite, not of an impact from a broomstick. He confessed to utilising the broomstick as a tool of punishment, albeit with a light stroke and non-forceful intent.
The father attributed this surge in violent behaviour to the provocation caused due to his spouse’s sudden disappearing act to Rayong and her subsequent absence, which resulted in increasing bouts of stress fuelled by irrational fears of infidelity. Meanwhile, a vigilant neighbour reported that the unsettling incident had transpired the previous evening. Alerted by the heart-wrenching cries emanating from the children’s home, they intervened to discover the man had ceased battering his offspring. While this individual was claimed not to indulge in alcohol, an emphatic love for his family arose in his defense.
Subsequently, Pol. Lt. Col. Natthapong Makcharoen, Deputy Superintendent of Bang Kaew police station, reported that the children’s mother informed the law enforcement officers of the escalating physical violence against her kids. The initial investigative proceedings came to an abrupt halt due to the father’s threat to file a trespassing complaint. At the moment, there appeared to be no physical traces of assault on the children, prompting the officers to retreat from the house and maintain communication with the worried mother. However, as the afternoon waned, the children were strategically removed from the potential danger of their home, thus enabling an official inquisition as allowed under legal channels, KhaoSod reported.
