Determined to bring the perpetrator to justice, a mother devastatedly carried her 2-year-old daughter to the police station to report sexual abuse, with tears found on the child's anus.
At 8:30 p.m. on 2 March 2026, Mrs. Warin Weerasunthorn, head of the Nonthaburi Child and Family Shelter, accompanied Ms. Jiraporn, 31, a resident of Nonthaburi province, to file a complaint with Police Lieutenant Utis Asanok, deputy investigation chief at Bang Bua Thong Police Station, Nonthaburi. The case involved Ms. Jiraporn's 2-year-and-5-month-old daughter, who showed signs of sexual abuse to her genitals and anus. The first incident occurred on 16 February 2026, with the most recent on 1 March 2026. The suspect is believed to be someone close to the family.
Ms. Jiraporn said that on 17 February at about 8 a.m., she changed her daughter's diaper as usual, but the child cried. She asked her son why the sister was crying, but he did not know. She then noticed swelling, redness, a rash, and abrasions on the child's genitals. Shocked, she prepared documents and brought the bloody diaper to the doctor. After examination, the doctor confirmed genital tears but said the wound was healing. The doctor asked what had happened, but she did not know. Before the incident, the child had been staying with her sister-in-law. The doctor prescribed medication, and the child recovered.
At that time, the genital tear was the only visible injury, so she did not report it, thinking the wound was minor and her child unlikely harmed. However, on 1 March at about 4:30 p.m., her 8-year-old daughter took the younger child to play. At 8 p.m., when the child returned home and the diaper was changed, she found genital tears and significant anal tears with visible bleeding. She asked who had done it, but the child only said it hurt and cried.
She said she did not want to accuse anyone without cause but wondered why the person who took the child on 16 February abandoned her without checking on her. Had she not opened the diaper, she would not have known the child was injured. Initially, the child said nothing, but after the anal injury on 1 March, she came determined to seek justice and asked authorities to help her family and ensure the perpetrator is punished.
Mrs. Warin Weerasunthorn, head of the Nonthaburi Child and Family Shelter, said that after receiving the mother's complaint about the abuse, whoever committed this act must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to ensure the offender is punished.
Regarding medical examinations, the mother had already taken the child to see a doctor after the first incident on 16 February. The child has not yet been examined following the second incident. The shelter will take the child for a detailed examination at the Police General Hospital. Afterward, they will coordinate with police to prosecute the perpetrator and assist with child witness testimony.
