rooster59 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Teacher in hot water over sex abuse claims By THE NATION A teacher in Sing Buri was suspended on Friday over allegations he sexually abused a schoolgirl in his charge. If an investigation finds him guilty, he will be dismissed from the teaching profession on September 28, said the Sing Buri Provincial Education Office. Chana Summat, director of the Protection and Rescue Centre for Sexually-Harassed Students, said his organisation will take about a week to investigate the case. “After finding the truth, we dismiss erring teachers from public education and set up a committee to investigate their actions,” he explained. Since the centre was established in March, every case it had investigated had resulted in the accused teacher being found guilty and having their teaching licence cancelled, he added. The importance of combating sexual harassment in schools has been enshrined in Education Ministry policies, Chana pointed out. People can complain about cases of sexual harassment in education by calling the 1579 hotline around the clock or via the website www.nataphol.com, launched last week by Education Minister Natapol Teepsuwan.

Of course….a committee.... A collection of inept people who individually ‘cannot’…assembled to form an inept group that collectively ‘cannot’. But a committee ensures that no one has to take any responsibility for anything. The Thai government's version of....'herd immunity'.

NE1 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Just now, Rookiescot said: Are the police not involved at any point? Is there money involved ? I think they have to be " ordered " to investigate cases , maybe , though I could be wrong , They will get involved if the Teacher is found guilty and the girl's Mother makes a report to the Police.

Orton Rd Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Mrs best mate from years back had a teacher husband, he got 20 years about 5 years ago for raping 2 girls in his School upcountry. Claimed he was set up to get rid of him, not very convincing. So they do sometimes end up inside, but too often you never here any more about these perverts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherclaire Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 They certainly don't like publicity. Ten years ago, a foreigner got caught in a toilet with a P. 5 girl. He only got dismissed, neither the police nor the parents were informed. The same man then could open an orphanage in the same city. All under a religious cover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasyFingers Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well I hope there is a fair outcome in this case. In one close to me there was no apology from the teacher, the principal or deputy had no contact with the parents and the teacher is still at the school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oobar Posted September 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2020 I remember from several years ago when a P6 (sixth grade) girl turned in her Thai teacher for raping her. Then a day or two later, she changed her story, saying that she had just been angry at him because he was actually her boyfriend, and she had found out he was having sex with one of her other sixth-grade friends as well, so she went to the police to get even with him. Apparently she now forgave him, and everything was good between them again. I don't know how this all turned out, but it struck me as one of the more bizarre school-girl sexual (non?)abuse tales I've heard, even for Thailand. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is no excuse whatsoever for the teacher engaging in a sexual relationship with a pupil. Young girls often 'flirt' with older men that they consider powerful and attractive it is part of their growing up effectively practicing for the future. It is the job of an adult to recognise this and not pursue it any further. Being an Adult especially in teaching has responsibilities. Sting wrote a song about it based on his experiences as a teacher "Don't stand so close to me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teacher concerned is a childish selfish fool with no sense of responsibility and a total lack of conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
