Damrongsak Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Very sad for the boys. The parents ... ???!!! I used to let my younger son host LAN parties at our house, where they would all play computer games and hang out in a safe environment. No drugs, no B.S. Older boy was never a problem, but got himself killed in Iraq with the U.S. Marines at age 20. So I know about loss. What were these parents thinking?

I agree about a parenting issue which is incredibly commonplace in Thailand but I don't know what law the parents broke which leads them to prosecution. Do you know of a prosecutable law they broke?

Burma Bill Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 RIP young lads but sorry to say last night whilst driving in the dark on route 12 near the turn to Loei, a similar gang of young motorcyclists were road racing wearing no helmets and weaving in and out of the traffic. Several had no rear lights and all I could see in my headlights were dark images swaying in front of me - it was extremely dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigand Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Parents are indeed culpable in this as well for gross negligence / irresponsibility. Driving around after the sun goes down is a fool's errand as so many dangers lurk with many running around (on / in substandard vehicles) as fast as possible to go to get food, ferry kids around or get intoxicated ... little wonder that 5-9 pm is carnage time and later on you have the really dangerous drivers around.
