Student beaten 99 times – mother said she was bribed with 50K to keep it quiet

The mother of the seven year old savagely beaten 99 times in a Pathum Thani school said today that the teacher had tried to bribe her to hush it all up.

But mother Bunseup Khanthong, 50 was not having that. Yesterday morning she took her P1 seven year old called Panudech to Klong Luang police to follow up on the complaint she made after the beating on Friday, reports Thairath.

Panudech was cruelly and relentlessly attacked with a stick described now as a “boy scout staff”.

This time there were TV crews and reporters clamoring to see the lacerations on the young boy’s back and bottom sustained in the attack. Mum and son had just been to a hospital for treatment and mum said her son was still frightened at the mere mention of the teacher’s name.

Bunseup said that earlier the teacher concerned – a female who said that both her parents were in the civil service at the C9 level – had offered her 50,000 baht in exchange for silence.

In a subsequent trip to the Klong Luang school early Monday the director was “away” and the teacher concerned was “on holiday”.

Police who took the report said that they would be talking to the teacher and have issued a summons.
