The recent child abuse scandal in a girls' orphanage in Saraburi serves as a wake-up call for comprehensive reform of state orphanages to ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable children in state-run shelters.
The horrid abuse at the Saraburi Girls Orphanage involved beatings, hair chopping, confinement, locking the children in dark rooms, tying their hands and feet, and forcing them to sleep in bathrooms.
These shocking incidents expose the orphanage system's failure to oversee and safeguard children, leaving them at the mercy of their caregivers.
