14-Year-Old Girl Reunited With Newborn in Kanchanaburi
A 14-year-old girl and her newborn were found abandoned at a Bangkok bus station after being evicted by the baby's father and have been reunited with their family in Kanchanaburi.
Police from Na Jom Thian Station in Sattahip, Chonburi provided assistance to a 14-year-old girl and her newborn daughter, who had been evicted from their home by the girl's boyfriend. He drove her to a bus station and provided 1,000 baht for her journey back to her hometown in Trai Yok District, Kanchanaburi on June 25. Upon learning that the girl and her 14-day-old daughter had not yet arrived home, Kanchanaburi Provincial Governor Werusa Songwan Sermsri assigned officials to closely monitor the situation. Coordination with local authorities and bus station staff at Mo Chit 2 Terminal in Bangkok located the girl still at the station. Social services were contacted through the emergency helpline 1300, and the girl was taken to a Bangkok children and family shelter. On July 1, 2569, officials from the Bangkok shelter coordinated with Khwanchhai Thirasil, vice president of the Kanchanaburi Rescue Foundation, to transport the girl's mother to pick up her daughter and grandchild. The group, including the girl's mother and aunt, are currently traveling back to their home in Trai Yok District. Regarding whether to press charges against the boyfriend, the family indicated they would discuss the matter further after returning home.
