A father and relatives have petitioned the Kalasin Damrongtham Center following a violent attack on a 16-year-old disabled boy by a group of nearly ten youths.
On September 4, 2026, relatives of a 16-year-old boy with a physical disability reported a severe assault to the Kalasin Damrongtham Center. According to Khaosod Online, the victim, who has a leg impairment, was allegedly attacked by a group of nearly ten teenagers. The assault reportedly involved stabbing the victim in the left arm, slashing his back, and repeatedly kicking his head. The victim sustained critical injuries, including brain swelling and hemorrhaging, requiring emergency surgery and intensive care.
The family, including former local official Wiset Tapa, filed the complaint to urge authorities to expedite the legal process. They expressed frustration over a perceived lack of progress, noting that police had not yet collected the necessary medical reports. The family further alleged that the group of youths involved has a history of committing offenses without facing legal consequences.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights concerns regarding local public safety and the efficacy of law enforcement responses in the region. While the family has sought intervention from provincial authorities, the investigation remains ongoing. It is yet to be confirmed whether the suspects have been identified or apprehended, and the full extent of the legal proceedings against the alleged perpetrators remains to be determined by the relevant authorities.
