Buriram: A 64-year-old mother is preparing to dismantle the bars she was forced to build to imprison her son, who is heavily addicted to drugs and online gambling, after speaking with the Minister of Justice, who promised that the hospital would provide full treatment for her son and that the government would not abandon him. In the case of a 64-year-old former teacher who was forced to hire a technician to build a prison cell in her house in Tambon Thanon Hak, Amphoe Nang Rong, Buriram Province, to imprison her only son, aged 42. Inside the room, there was Wi-Fi, amenities, and a bathroom. With a mother’s love for her son to be comfortable, the reason she had to do this was because her son was heavily addicted to drugs and online gambling. He had gone crazy and destroyed things many times, threatened to hurt his mother, once drove his car into the house until it was damaged, and fired a gun to threaten her. He had a wife and children but ran away because he couldn’t take it anymore. Even his real father was
heartbroken and died in 2015.
According to Thai News Agency, the mother tried to send him for treatment more than 10 times, in the military camp, the hospital, the temple, but when he was released, he returned to his old ways. Until the end of last October, the son became crazy and violent again. The mother had to inform the police to take him to the hospital for treatment. And immediately hired a technician to make a cell for her son. Hoping that after the son was discharged from the hospital, for the safety of the villagers and herself. Until she found out that it was illegal and it was famous news all over the country. Until many relevant agencies went to the area and offered advice on how to take care of her son who was addicted to drugs.
Today (10 Nov 2014) the media went to talk to the mother, whose face looked much more cheerful because on 7 Nov, the Nang Rong Hospital staff took her son for treatment and reported the progress every day that her son’s condition was improving. Today, they spoke via vi
deo call with Pol. Col. Thawee Sodsong, Minister of Justice, who promised that the hospital would provide full treatment to her son and that the government would not abandon him.
A 64-year-old former teacher said that he would like to thank the government for giving more importance to the drug issue. He will now prepare to notify the technician to come and dismantle the cage room and use the iron to make window bars, or maybe change it into a storage room so that it does not look like a cage room. However, he insisted that he did it because he loves and cares for his child and wants him to recover.
