A heart-wrenching post on the popular site of Mem Pho Dam showed a 2 year old boy admitted to hospital with a fracture of his left thigh bone.
The child had to be immobilized by having both legs pinned and put in plaster.
The boy also had injuries and bruising to his head and temple.
The 20 year old mother from Singburi said that she had been living with her new husband for two months.
There were frequent arguments and she had been repeatedly assaulted. Two days ago she noticed swelling on her boy’s leg and confronted the stepfather who played dumb saying he had no idea about it.
A hospital X-ray showed the break. He is recovering in Chainat Narenthorn Hospital where doctors said he would have to wear the plaster and splint for three months.
He may be able to go home earlier when his condition stabilizes.
We will try to issue updates with the police set to announce action in the case Wednesday.
A post on Mem Pho Dam called for retribution against the man allegedly responsible.
None of the people in the story were named.
Times comment:- In a country where some prison sentences are way over the top, it would be nice to think that in cases like this, guilty parties are put away for a VERY long time in the company of inmates who would be more than happy to point out the error of their ways.
Whilst on the subject, many Thai women need to consider what they are doing very carefully before rushing into a marriage with a potential monster. Surely, warning signs were there.
