10-year-old boy left alone at bus terminal by his mother, who was unable to pay fare for him<\/span><\/h2>\n

A mother’s inability to afford a bus ticket for her 10-year-old led her to leave him behind at a bus terminal in Phetchabun, Thailand.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, she and his younger sister boarded the bus to Chonburi without the young boy.<\/p>\n

Left stranded at bus terminal with insufficient funds for ticket fare<\/h3>\n

On Thursday (28 May), Mr Natchakitchanan Yodsawai (name transliterated from Thai), a rescue officer, posted about the matter on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

He said he had received an urgent plea from the village head of Moo 5, Sa Kruat Subdistrict.<\/p>\n

Upon arriving at the Sri Thep Fresh Market bus terminal, he found that a stranded boy was left alone by his family without enough money to travel any further.<\/p>\n

The boy explained that he, his mother and younger sibling had been living with his stepfather, who frequently quarrelled with and physically assaulted his mother.<\/p>\n

Unable to endure the abuse, the mother decided to take her children back to her hometown in Chonburi.<\/p>\n

Mother told him to go back to his stepfather’s house<\/h3>\n

When they arrived at the station, there were insufficient funds for all three.<\/p>\n

As a result, his mother reportedly told the boy to return to the stepfather’s house, located three to four kilometres away.<\/p>\n

The boy refused to go back, citing fear of further abuse.<\/p>\n

Rescue officers purchased bus ticket and pooled money for him<\/h3>\n

Seeing the child’s plight, rescue officers and local bystanders stepped in.<\/p>\n

The rescue team also gave the boy their contact number, instructing him to have any subsequent bus drivers call them to transfer any further fare until he reached home safely.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the boy has since returned safely to his home in Chonburi.<\/p>\n

Mother left another 7-year-old son at stepfather’s house<\/h3>\n

In addition to the 10-year-old boy’s case, reporters discovered that the mother also left behind her seven-year-old son at the home of one of the stepfather’s friends.<\/p>\n

Upon learning of the situation, the Phetchabun Shelter for Children and Families immediately coordinated with local rescue workers to rescue the 7-year-old child.<\/p>\n

The moment rescue officers arrived at the residence, they found the young boy in an extremely fragile mental state, weeping inconsolably for his mother.<\/p>\n

Remains under care of social workers at shelter<\/h3>\n

The child remains under the professional care of social workers at the Phetchabun state shelter.<\/p>\n

Authorities are investigating the family’s situation and arranging a safe long-term solution for the children.<\/p>\n
