Today I'd like to share with you the observation of Pim Kemasingki, editor of Citylife Chiang Mai. Her latest editorial highlights the sorry state of Thai law when it comes to dealing with paedophile scum who seek refuge in Thailand.

She asks an interesting question:

Quote[/b] ]Why is it that a teenager goes to jail for five years for being in possession of a couple of recreational pills, but a foreigner who molests and emotionally destroys our children gets a slap on the wrist, pays a month's wages in bribes and is free to do so again. And again. And again.

She also comes up with a number of explanations, including the one below:

Quote[/b] ]The truth is that Thailand is a haven for paedophiles. Because of poverty, children are more vulnerable than in many other countries. Our law enforcement officers are at best untrained and inefficient, and at worst open to bribery.

This is just one of the many reasons she gives as she's trying to find out how such a great nation could allow to be the hotbed of a wide assortment of filthy scum.

What do you think? What would your answer be to the above question? And more importantly, what solution do you think would be the most effective? She proposes life sentences for offenders, or at least to be blacklisted on Thai immigration, but...

I think it's time the Southern type of justice to be meted out for Thailand's most disgusting parasites that prey on the very life-blood of the nation: its youth.

One can only hope.
