The father of the 19-year-old suit shop owner, who is currently involved in a dispute with “Lawyer Kaew,” posted the reasons he must stand up and fight despite being told to stop. He prays for his daughter's strength and said that if he could turn back time, he would not have called her to the shop.
In this case, social media circulated stories about a famous lawyer behaving inappropriately toward a 19-year-old girl, the daughter of a suit shop owner, sparking widespread public criticism. Subsequently, “Lawyer Kaew,” Dr. Monchai Jongkairatnakul, posted on Facebook acknowledging his fault and expressing regret over the incident. He apologized to all parties but declined to reveal details, stating he would provide explanations through appropriate channels to ensure fairness and transparency while respecting all parties’ rights, as previously reported.
In the latest development, a Facebook user who owns the suit shop and is the father of the 19-year-old girl posted a message saying, “This period is a huge storm in my life. When I learned about it, many advised me to stop and let it pass as a lesson. But what I have tried to do is to stand and fight until today, and it’s not over yet. I want to say I love my daughter very much. Since raising her from the moment she opened her eyes, she has never had to struggle in life. But I always taught her to understand hardship, her responsibilities, and to empathize with others. What I may have taught less is trusting others, because sometimes even we ourselves make mistakes in trusting others, even up to now.”
Suppose such a bad incident happened to another girl and then it just disappeared without consequence. The one who suffers most and feels the worst is that girl, and it would become a stigma and a bad memory for her forever. At least today, I might be able to protect other girls from facing something like this. I don’t want money; I’m not hungry for money. If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t have called my daughter to the shop that day. But since it has happened, we must keep fighting.
There will be punishment or an outcome for this matter. Thank you for the overwhelming support sent to us. As for the negative comments, I try to let them pass and not pay attention, praying that my daughter will be strong and fight alongside me. I want those who post negative comments to think carefully: if this happened to someone you love, could you endure it? How would you fight? Like me, an ordinary person with no media status, no influence, no connections, but I will do my best as a father.
P.S. And if you ask, the beginning of this issue started with me, who arranged for my daughter to help with a photoshoot at the suit shop.
After the post was shared, many people commented and offered a great deal of encouragement.
