Brutal Nanny Physically Abuses 5-Year-Old Child, Leaving Him in Critical Condition.

Bangkok: Last midnight, volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation responded to a distressing report from the Prachachuen Police Station's radio center about a severely injured child in the Pracha Ruam Jai community, Chatuchak District. Villagers were found carrying injured children out of the community seeking urgent help. According to Thai News Agency, rescue workers provided first aid to three children, aged 6 months, 7 months, and 5 years. They were then taken to the Prachachuen Metropolitan Police Station. The Ruamkatanyu volunteers described the grim scene, revealing the 5-year-old had severe injuries, including a broken back, a deep wound on his left shoulder, a sunken right shoulder, bruised eyes, and stitches on his chin from previous assaults. The two younger children, aged 6 and 7 months, were also neglected as the nanny had abandoned them to go out. Aunt Mali, a neighbor, reported that the nanny, approximately 30 years old, lives with her two children and was responsible for the care of the thre e abused children. She noted the nanny's odd behavior, such as leaving the infants to sleep under a mosquito net by the canal surrounded by filth. Mali often heard the children being struck, resulting in loud cries, and upon checking, she found them with injuries. The mother of the 6-month-old child, upon learning of the situation, hurried to retrieve her child, who had a swollen lump on his head. She disclosed that they had to rely on monthly daycare due to work commitments, and upon every pickup, they noticed scratches on the child's body, which the nanny attributed to self-inflicted nail marks. The mother expressed her shock upon hearing about the nanny's abusive actions and planned to have her child medically examined. Initial reports identified the nanny, nicknamed 'Bung,' as having surrendered to the Prachachuen Police Station, where she is currently being interrogated. Meanwhile, the severely injured 5-year-old boy has been hospitalized, and the other two children have been discharged to their parent s, who were advised to closely monitor their conditions.
