KHON KAEN – Police on Tuesday arrested a 20-year-old woman for coercing a 15-year-old girl into taking up prostitution.

Police said the woman, whose name was withheld, confessed she had been contacted by other prostitutes to bring three young girls to a customer at a love motel.

The suspect said she found only one girl and received 2,000 baht for delivering her to the client. The woman was arrested soon after she received the money.

@drsmith #6,you ask: “where are the parents?” Probably they get part of the 2,000B and think this is a good deal.
Recently I heard a couple of stories about a guy who “plays” with his stepdaughter and sisters daughter. It seems like often the parents know what happens but they think this is normal. And nobody will go to the police because they think “what’s the big deal, he played a little”.
I think many Thais would not understand that guys go to jail for many years for these acts in other countries. Sad but true.

@buster #3, you ask what my point is – fair enough.
My point is this happens every day in Thailand many times.
I wish Thai people would not accept corrupt police and politicians and all the evils which are connected to them. But it seems like many Thais just don’t care or think this is the way it should be.
Thais should be on the streets every day to demand a corruption free administration. But instead they go to the streets to ask for the return of a criminal fugitive. Nothing will change with this attitude.

I hope she gets 20 years in prison with no bail. Once again, where are the parents of the 15 year old? Lock them up and charge them as well.

The worrying part is that the 15 year old agreed .With role models children can learn what is right or wrong and I dont mean the culture ministry shaming one single person .I mean parents ,monks ,governemnt service messages .Thai dramas are unbelievably devoid of anything except shameful behavior .How can this stuff be broadcast ?

What's your point?
Just shut up and turn away?

Well hell no, with me are the majority of NE Thai citizens who are just as fed up as i am of this fatalistic approach.
LOCK EM UP.

And what’s so special about that case? I guess it is only the fact that the 20 year old woman was arrested. Prostitution of underage girls and boys is completely normal and in the open in Thailand. Anybody who does not see it simply does not want to see it. Just open your eyes!

"The woman was arrested soon after she received the money".
I'm just guessing here,but it would seem that the "customer" was the police? As in police encouraged crime? I suspect the same is the case in other arrests of minors too,coerced by the police. I doubt we'll ever know the whole truth in these cases,because the girls are terrified of the police and will agree to do anything the police tell them.
These cases stinks and I believe some relevant independent agency should look into this. My heart goes out to these,in so many ways,poor girls of the North and North East.
