rooster59 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Power of social media: Hero comes to the rescue for 10 year old boy living under a bridge Caption: Shares led to help... A Thai resort owner has come to the rescue after a 10 year old boy was featured on Facebook living under a bridge. Seksan Phrabanthao or Nong Ta had spent five days under the bridge when Attaphon Liampeng, 29, the owner of Khao Chee Jan Villa, saw his plight on social media and went to find him. Ta was sleeping under the bridge when his savior arrived. He had made a bed of grass and stuffed hay in a fertilizer sack to fashion a pillow. An awning was keeping animals at bay. After talking to the child he went back to Attaphon's house who then contacted a community leader and made efforts to contact the boy's relatives. Ta told him that he had been living with his mother and father until July 20th when they abandoned him. He was left with 800 baht and nowhere to live. He chose the bridge as a place to sleep and hang out. Relatives told Attaphon that the boy's real parents left him a long time ago and he was being cared for by other relatives who didn't have the means to continue to do so. He is now set to be adopted by the villa owner who asked people not to donate money. If they want to do that they should go in person to see him at his resort, reported Daily News, who called Attaphon a hero in their story.

Does a resort owner have to ask for donations to take care of one little boy? Is the resport business really going that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, thats not what it says. "If they want to do that they should go in person to see him at his resort" Whereby anybody going to see him in person will be shown he does not need donations.

He did not ask people to donate in person. He asked people to go and see him in person. We do not know what would happen then. Stop being negative and look at the bigger picture. The poor lad is likely to have a home at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he asked them in stead of donations, come to see him in person at the resort wich is another way to promote his business , so in that way it is maki g money of the boys back .

Pique Dard Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 the power of social media? for sure, but how many kids can't have a decent life in thailand? i'd have preferred "power of government", that's the essence of democray. we elect the politicians in order for them to address the social and economic issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus123 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 -And here they are those two little 14 year old Lao girls dumped under a bridge in Isaan-victims of human sexual trafficking (rife in Isaan)-they did well in the end but only because of the innate decency of a Thai woman-my wife. Again I say-well done that man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
