Ban Thung Krat School in Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand has installed 16 CCTV cameras to prevent any such recurrence, said the director.
The mother also shared that the poor girl is traumatized by the attack and is now afraid of all boys, including her own father.
Three so-called “problem youths” – to of whom reside in the welfare system’s shelters – are accused of the sexual assault.
