Foundation One founder was moved to tears after hearing the 21-year-old woman's plea for help regarding her methamphetamine-addicted mother who beats family members—her father and five younger siblings—steals all their money, and involves a third party. On April 28, 2026, at Chim Phli Police Station in Samut Prakan Province, the Foundation One founder, along with social welfare officer Nattama Treeratthanaphon and officer Ekkarin Thaokwang from the provincial child and family shelter, brought the family of 43-year-old Charun to meet Police Captain Prachet Pongsathon, reporting domestic violence by an addicted family member.
The situation began when 21-year-old Chuli, the eldest daughter, sought the Foundation's help, describing how her mother (referred to as Nang A) engages in drug use and abuses her father and five younger siblings: two brothers aged 15 and 14, two sisters aged 7 and 5, and a 7-month-old baby brother.
After hearing the family's story, the Foundation founder wept. When he spoke with the mother, she admitted to using methamphetamine, having started through her husband's influence. She claimed she hit her children because she wanted them to be good, denying any intent to harm them, and mentioned she had last used methamphetamine the previous Sunday.
The Foundation founder revealed that Chuli, who fled to Samut Prakan Province, could no longer tolerate her mother's behavior and reported that the mother is addicted to methamphetamine and involves third parties. When angry, the mother loses control, beating and injuring her father and siblings over decades using weapons including knives, metal objects, and sharpened sticks. The father earns 500-1,000 baht daily, but the mother takes every single baht. She beats and verbally abuses the children for minor mistakes, psychologically pressures her sons—one has attempted suicide—and has caused severe injuries including head and eyebrow wounds and bruised, swollen arms. She even beat the 7-month-old baby to spite the father. Despite the father's earnings, the family never eats well. She gives the children only 15-20 baht daily for school, sometimes nothing, and never buys them clothes or shoes—they wear only donated items.
Previously, the older son and daughter convinced Chuli to help them escape. Another son later asked to flee as well, having gone two days without food while being forced to care for siblings around the clock. Regarding the third parties, the mother has been giving them money stolen from the father and Chuli for transportation costs; she currently has 2-3 third-party associates.
Initially, the Foundation and officials brought all the children into the protective care of the provincial child and family shelter. Subsequently, officials will mediate between the parents. The father wants a divorce and to raise the children himself, but the mother refuses and also wants custody of the children.
