A blind mother in Udon Thani decided to report her son to police after he threatened her and showed inappropriate behavior toward his younger sisters, fearing a serious incident. She revealed he extorted money and destroyed household items when she refused.

On November 10, 2026, Ms. A (pseudonym), 45, a resident of Chiang Yuen subdistrict, Mueang district, Udon Thani province, who is blind in one eye, filed a report with investigators at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station requesting the arrest of her son, Mr. Tiw, 27. He had threatened to harm her and smashed belongings in their dormitory after she would not give him 100 baht. He also exhibited predatory behavior toward his two biological sisters, aged 17 and 6.

At 5:00 PM, Pol. Lt. Col. Thira Yothin Sapphasin, Deputy Superintendent of Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, along with patrol officers, went to a dormitory in Ban Thon and arrested Mr. Tiw while he was sleeping. He was taken to the police station, where a urine test detected illegal drugs. Ms. A confirmed she would pursue charges against her son for "extortion" and proceed with legal action.

Ms. A said she reported her son because she could no longer endure the situation. She is a single mother who rents a house and works as a night cleaner, leaving her son with his two sisters, aged 17 and 6. Her son is heavily addicted to drugs and demands money daily. Today, when she refused 100 baht, he destroyed property and threatened her.

She had previously seen his drug-fueled behavior and him attempting to sexually assault his two sisters multiple times. Fearing a future tragedy, she decided to file charges to the fullest extent. "I am heartbroken, but as a mother I worry when I go to work that my heavily addicted son will harm my two daughters. If I ignore it, something bad will certainly happen, so I had to call the police," the blind mother said, her voice trembling.
