Concerns growing for a little girl and her father in Koh Samui



KOH SAMUI: -- Today the Samui Times have received a letter from a concerned member of the Koh Samui community who told us “A few days ago my house keeper took in this guy and his daughter unfortunately, it sounded like he was being unkind to her. When our housekeeper expressed her concern and then the man suddenly left.

I’ve just posted it up on community on line. Since then the man has been seen in Bandon hospital as his daughter had a bad injury on her leg, it was infected.

He had no money and left without any treatment. I’m now really concerned for this little girl. Can you help spread the word. “ From comments made on the Samui Online Community Pinboard it seems the man is from the UK, his daughter has a Thai mother.

He is known to frequent the Bangrak area. It is thought he may have problems with substance abuse and one poster suggested that he was seen in the Lamai area. If you see this man or this little girl please contact [email protected] and please share this post among the community.

Aren't kids lovely at that age.

And aren't "grown-ups" a PITA.

[NeverSure]

I hope they find that sweet little girl.

Off-topic, but often I find Luk Keung (sp?) children to be beautiful.

The way I know Thai people, I cant imagine they wouldn't be willing in some clinic or hospital to help the girl for free, if the guy has no money. Not such a big deal (I hope) to clean and disinfect the wound, and bandage it, maybe antibiotics. Or maybe somebody could volunteer to foot the bill. Hope she gets help speedily, infections develop rapidly in this climate.

[Bignose]

I will be back in KS at the end of the week, if this is a genuine post and the guy does indeed have difficulties in looking after her, then anyone who has some firm info on the circumstances and their whereabouts can contact me directly.

It can be difficult (and sometimes even dangerous) to get too close or involved with another persons issues, no matter how tragic or regrettable. It would seem this may be a case where it is worth taking the risk, so if anyone comes across any new details please keep us all posted (or myself directly)

The government hospital in Nathon would help. The private hospitals on Samui will kick you out on the street.

If someone locates the girl and she has need, PM me and I will arrange for free care for her for outpatient needs. I cannot manage inpatient care if required but I can arrange the doctor's fees in or out. I am on KS.

Too bad there isn't a test that would prevent butt wipes from having children.

Now here is a real man.

Come on people. Have a real good look at the picture.

If you come from that area then do something. If you cannot then this guy will.

This is an innocent we are talking about.

No they won't.

It is law that all hospitals have to provide emergency treatment to Thais FOC if the patient is in 'one of the medical schemes'. I have seen quite a few Thais being treated under this edict - but follow up care is an entirely different matter.

The problem with the little girl might be if she has no Thai id.

Poster is correct - Nathon hospital will probably help no matter what.

What's wrong with the RED CROSS?

[Tropicalevo]

What's wrong with the RED CROSS?

Apart from the fact that they pay their officers too much - nothing I suppose.

What has this to do with the OP?

[anon022]

Too bad there isn't a test that would prevent butt wipes from having children.

Too bad there aren't people qualified to determine who's a butt wipe and who isn't.

For what's it's worth....

Bignose, im willing to contribute 5,000 baht to the care of this darling little girl.

Please pm me if we can arrange something .

I wish i could do more, but im on a limited income.

This could be my projection, but I get the sense that this guy is peddling the little girl to take advantage of sympathy from strangers. If he's a down-and-out drug-addict, then she's his meal-ticket and he will not part with her without a fight. The situation is analogous to a parasite attached to a host rather than a father's love for his daughter. Separating the two will likely require the authorities or a baseball bat. Again, this could be my projection.

Sadly, people like him are allowed to Breed!

A decent human being for a start.

Even in the provided picture, once enlarged; it appears this man does have a substance-abuse problem, judging by the state of his eyes !

I hope this pair is located sooner rather than later and that someone in authority makes the correct call here ! ! ! !

[technologybytes]

what the hell is all this about. some housekeeper "thought' he was "unkind", and now people are basically accusing this guy of child abuse.

Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a member of the same species as many forum users.

[mijako]

I know this guy since about 4 years and yes he is somewhere around Plai Laem-Chermon. I know also the restaurant he likes to go because the owner gives him sometimes some food and beer. I must say he is very often drunk on on other substances. The restaurant I was speaking about is on the beach and now it's raining, so as soon as the weather is ok again, he will go and look if I see him there (it's only 5 minutes from my bungalows.

And no, Sharchen he is not peddling the little girl to get sympathy. I asked him where is the mother of the girl. He answered he doesn't know. She is always on yaa baa and so he took the girl from her (he is the father by the way). Since I know him, he had money when he came but his ex girlfriend took everything from him. Now he is always looking for a sleeping place for him and his daughter. I have only 5 bungalows and they are fully booked until end of April so I cannoty have him sleep here.

I will pm the members who asked for as soon as I see him. I will ask him where he is sleeping now and if he has a phone number

[ocejanic]

My wife and I would also pay for any treatment necessary for the girl.

[HooHaa]

my daughter doesn't know just how lucky she is.

[smotherb]

Too bad there isn't a test that would prevent butt wipes from having children.

You have only heard he may have a substance abuse problem and you are ready to crucify the guy. Apparently, he is taking care of his/someone's daughter; perhaps the best he can. I suggest you try to help if you need to get involved.

you're right, he tries to look after her, the best he can but not every man is capable to do it. Anyway, around here, many people knows him and try to help with food and a little bit of money

What qualifications are required to pay a hospital bill?

I have not in any way been judgmental, I have made no assumptions as to why this situation has occurred, I am making no half baked prophecies about what I will do...

What I am saying is that if this little girl requires some medical care she shall receive it, and it will be by a direct payment to the hospital or practice that treats her.

Anyone with half a brain would be able to figure out that was my intention, your kind of negativity is one of the unfortunate aspects of TV. Just for once try to see the positive in the words and actions from those around you!

[Boo]

Would he consider moving back to the UK? There may be help for him & his daughter if he has family in UK. I would be happy to act as a go between for him here in UK.

[arjunadawn]

I hope most of you actually read through all these posts on this thread; there is another story here, as far as I am concerned.

There are many really decent and kind people here. That is quite nice and refreshing, these days. Thank you.

[lucifer666]

Really hope this little girl gets the help she needs, Always a spare room in my home for someone that needs it ( been there myself), let's all hope she gets what she needs, As for him, well i have a feeling we will be seeing him on the Jeremy Kyle show soon enough

So this is my first post but since my girlfriend has known this girl and looked after her from a young age before i feel like i should finally make an account and post, i have been reading this forum for about 2 years and have been too lazy to get involved, too many people like bitching on here but regardless..

The girls name is "jasmine" and both her parents are drug addicts. The mother is or was in jail for drug use and the father is a loser from the UK who used to push drugs and was "looking after" his daughter by begging for money but often using the cash for drugs, sounds pretty typical right..

Apparently he came knocking at the house of some friends of my girlfriend looking for her and more money a few months back.

I pity the child, here are a couple of pics of her as a baby so you know i'm not full of shit, the guys sounds like a total loser, often taking money and spending it on drugs for himself and his thai wife while neglecting the child, so if you do decide to help i would help the kid directly if possible..
