For over a year, police claim, the girl was used as an object of sexual
gratification in a village near the Thai-Cambodian border – and the offences
only came to light after the girl’s maternal grandmother allegedly actually caught a
27-year-old man raping her with a hand over her mouth to
stifle the screams.

Their relationship ended when the girl, known as ‘Tina’ but
who has real English name and Eurasian looks was only a few months old, and
said villagers, he ceased sending money to take care of his child. The attacks began happening after the mother was in Bangkok where she had to work. She has since returned to the village.

Arthit Rattanaphol, said Police Lieutenant Salop Salatharn,
had been abusing the girls with five village boys whose ages were 10, 11, 13, 15 and
16 for over 12 months. Most of the boys are now being dealt with by social
services.

All the boys had been questioned. They denied the
allegations saying that they only knew the 7-year-old because she was in a
larger mixed group of children playing.

But Thai police said they did not believe the boys’ stories. For their files they covered the girls’ head
with a hat and a red balaclava and photographed her pointing at her accusers.

Many rural Thai women send their children to be looked after
by their mothers while they find jobs in Bangkok and Pattaya.

Often those jobs involve prostitution out of bars visited by foreigners.
Sometimes women will have children with foreigners in the hope of marriage.

And many Britons have had ongoing relationships with Thai
women but due to visa restrictions cannot get their wives and daughters back
into the U.K. In many of those cases they send money to support their children

It’s unlikely the Birmingham father will know anything about
what happened to his daughter. The mother says she has not spoken to him for many years and his former mobile number is now out of service.

Euroasian children are popular because of their looks and
they often make it big in television and films in Thailand.

(The father’s identity is known but of course cannot be used for legal reasons)
Tragic for the girl, such things should never happen to children.
I wonder what the father will do now about it all, hope he knows about it now. What he does from this point will judge him.
Of course dependant on personal situation, he may be in no position to help….financially, jail, or any other affliction…or just a dead beat.
If the latter then god help his soul.
The peanut gallery is oddly silent…How many they wonder have they left behind?

Just noted on the Trustlaw site ( thanks for that, too ! ) even the author there perpetuated the Tourism minister's assertion she "had dinner" with the attacker. Seems he was simply at the same place as she and struck up conversation.
