The raw deal, the sexual chagrin. In this week's case, a daughter was molested by a father who even recorded the sexual abuse on his own mobile phone. Yet the news that captured society and media attention was that of a 17-year-old mother named "Nim" -- not her real name, who claimed that her 8-month-old son was kidnapped in Nakhon Pathom province. She subsequently changed her story and told police she accidentally dropped the child, and he died from injuries sustained in the fall.
She panicked and flung the body into the Tha Chin River, about 100 metres away from her husband's home, before fleeing in shock. The police searched for the body without success.
