A 13 year old boy has been sent back to his father by a childrens' home in the south of Thailand despite his father having chained him to a tree. 

 

The authorities have suggested he use a cloth to tie him up in future. 

 

Police and social workers had gone to an area of Satun near a rubber plantation where they found the boy chained to a tamarind tree. 

 

He was taken to Satun Hospital for a checkup then taken into care. 

 

But now it has been decided that the treatment of the boy did not constitute cruel or abusive treatment. 

 

The father is suffering from severe depression and has two naughty boys to look after, said the officials.

 

He had chained the boy up to stop him coming to harm while the father was resting. 

 

The authorities have suggested that he use a cloth to tie him up in future. 

 

Meanwhile help is on the way for the father who is trying to raise the boys in trying circumstances, reported Daily News.

Ah, but caring ones.

 

So many things wrong with this story - the father's treatment of his kids, authorities offhand response and (in)action, the sort of excuses and "reasoning" provided.

I personally don't find this Harmful to the kid....... It just may be that the kid had 'buddies' a bit older that enjoyed indulging in drugs.... as in 'Yabaa'..... and the father really had 'Good intent'....

I just came back from 'upcountry - Issan' and learned that a 13 year old girl that I knew from the past couple years has married with a 'Thai boy' and is now dealing and using 'Yaa baa' drugs.... If the mother had chained her to a tree instead of just being 'permissive'.... It just might have been a 'different story' today........ SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT........

what an idiocy!

cops are advising father to use cloth if he chains the boy again! 

if father cannot take of the boys, it is government's and cop's job to take them to a shelter or a safe home <deleted>!!!

what age we are living chaining the boys to a tree!

what a weird story and a weird solution.

me thinks there's more to this than has been told ….   is the boy mentally disturbed, is that why he has to chain him up to a tree ?  

 

The OP explained it perfectly well.
