webfact Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hua Hin: "We didn't sell our baby online", harassed family tells Thai police Picture: 77kaoded A family in Hua Hin has gone to the police to say that they didn't try to sell their five month old baby online. The family of the infant have been caught up in the ongoing investigation about an illegal adoption service on Facebook. The service for parents who can't afford to raise their children is under the scrutiny of the Social Development and Human Security minister who believes that the site contravenes human trafficking laws. The child in Hua Hin appeared on the site. Since the case broke the family have received threats online and been the subject of a hate campaign. They told provincial police at the Hua Hin station that contrary to claims on social media they did not sell the child who was up for adoption. The mother is a 22 year old deaf woman who had her aunt and uncle look after the child since it was born.

spidermike007 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Thailand has an extreme "baby worship" culture. The number of people who have kids here, without giving a second thought to how they are going to support them or raise them is astonishing. Sorry, leaving them with the grandparents for years on end is NOT raising a child. Granted having babies is popular worldwide. But there are few nations where lobbing them off on the grandparents is considered acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 There isn't always the maternal love you might expect. I know of a few instances where the mother only sees her child on school holidays, the rest of the time the child is cared for by a relative in the village, and in most cases the mother isn't even working. They give away their children like they are puppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very common for bargirls to have two or three kids back home, in the village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
