Chon Buri teen saved by rescue team after distress incident
In Chon Buri, a tense situation unfolded when a 14 year old boy, distressed after being rebuked by his parents for being a troublemaker, was saved just in time by municipal disaster prevention and rescue personnel.
The incident occurred yesterday, January 26, at a dormitory in Nong Mai Daeng subdistrict, Mueang district. The young boy was taken from the third floor to Chon Buri Hospital for a psychological evaluation to assess any potential mental health issues. The family is expected to be contacted to take him home for further care.
Atthipabodi Khaiya, a 22 year old neighbour, revealed that the boy had previously expressed that his parents often labelled him as problematic. The stress led him to leave his phone behind, instructing that any incoming calls should be answered, and he threatened to jump from the building, reported KhaoSod.
Atthipabodi promptly sought assistance from friends and contacted the rescue team and relevant personnel to intervene. He mentioned that he was unaware of the boy’s issues as he had only recently moved into the dormitory.
