Parent Files Complaint After Son Forced to Use Cannabis at Tuition Centre

A parent has filed a complaint with Muang Udon Thani Police, alleging that a 15-year-old boy was forced to smoke cannabis by the owner of a military entrance exam tuition centre and was photographed with drug paraphernalia. The parent has vowed to pursue the case to the fullest extent.

On August 17, the parent travelled to the police station to lodge a formal complaint. According to the police report filed on August 16 at 3:59 p.m., a 34-year-old from Nong Bua Lamphu reported the incident to investigators, naming the tuition centre owner as the accused and demanding full prosecution.

The parent alleged that the tuition centre owner forced their son to smoke cannabis and take photographs pointing to items connected with criminal activity before taking the child to meet police officers. The incident allegedly occurred on August 14 at approximately 3:52 p.m. in Muang district, Udon Thani province.

The 15-year-old boy stated that he was playing with friends when the tuition centre owner and three others suddenly entered the room, accusing them of using cannabis that allegedly belonged to other students at the centre. He said he was shocked and forced to point to the cannabis and pose for photographs before being taken to police. He firmly denied using cannabis.

Investigators have accepted the complaint as evidence and will gather additional evidence and statements from those involved. The tuition centre owner will be summoned for questioning to establish the facts. If the allegations are substantiated, legal proceedings will follow.
