A 14-year-old student was lured into a school restroom and severely assaulted by 10 classmates and senior students, who filmed and posted the attack online.
The victim's mother filed a police report but deemed the school's one-month suspension for the attackers an inadequate punishment.
The family sought assistance from social campaigner Gun Jompalang to pursue stricter legal action and ensure a thorough investigation.
They urge school and authorities to take appropriate administrative and legal action against all involved to prevent future incidents.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
