Mother Requests Police Detention for Son Following Nighttime Traffic Violation
A mother in Chachoengsao took a firm stance against her son's nighttime motorcycle riding, asking police to detain him to teach him a lesson.
A viral video shared by the 'Tamruat Rak Paet Riu' Facebook page has captured a unique disciplinary incident in Chachoengsao province. According to Khaosod Online, a ninth-grade student was apprehended by local police for riding a motorcycle late at night. When the boy's mother arrived at the station, she did not seek his immediate release; instead, she scolded him in front of officers and requested that the police hold him in custody for two nights to ensure he learns from his actions.
Police Colonel Somchai Yoosawat, Deputy Commander of Chachoengsao Provincial Police, was seen in the footage counseling the student. The mother’s unconventional approach—asking for detention rather than intervention—has sparked significant discussion online, with many social media users praising her commitment to discipline.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights the strict enforcement of traffic and curfew-related regulations for minors in the region. While the mother’s request for detention was a disciplinary gesture, it remains to be confirmed whether such requests can be formally processed under standard police procedures, as the police page noted that their primary role is to serve the public and facilitate the safe return of minors to their guardians. The incident serves as a reminder of the local emphasis on parental responsibility and public order.
