Thai mother pimped out autistic daughter to dealer for drugs
Police arrested a Thai mother at her home in the Khlong Sam Wa district of Bangkok on Tuesday, after she pimped out her 16 year old autistic daughter to a dealer to obtain free drugs.
A Thai grandmother filed a complaint with Nimitmai Police Station, yesterday, October 30 that her autistic granddaughter went missing from their home in the Khlong Sam Wa district of Bangkok.
The grandmother later learned that the girl’s mother hid her in a bedroom all day before escaping from the house through a window to avoid being noticed.
Her neighbour witnessed the two leaving the scene in a taxi at around midnight on September 30. The two returned home on October 2. The grandmother asked the girl where she had gone with her mother but the girl refused to answer.
The grandmother noticed her strange behaviour and blood stains on her underwear, so she asked the girl to speak about it and learned of the sexual assault. The girl told her grandmother that her mother took her to the house of a drug dealer called Bang Seed and let the man rape her in exchange for free drugs.
The victim told her grandmother that she did not dare to resist and could not escape because the house was surrounded by a forest and was very dark.
The grandmother then filed a complaint against Bang Seed and the girl’s mother at Min Buri Police Station. The grandmother condemned her daughter for her inhumane behaviour.
Officers managed to arrest Bang Seed on October 15. Drugs and drug paraphernalia were seized from his house in the Min Buri district. The victim’s mother was arrested on Tuesday, October 29, at a house in the Khlong Sam Wa district.
