The parents of the girl, a Mathayom 1 student, reported the incident to Thakang Police about midday yesterday. Pol Lt Col Chanita Bunyanuwat, Deputy Superintendent (Investigation) at Thalang Police, received the report.
The girl had left housing estate and was riding her bike to school at about 7am yesterday when a man she described as chubby, dark-skinned and probably in his 50s called out to her while she was passing the Mae Sompong Market.
The man asked if the girl wanted help finding a place to park her back. He came up to the girl, placed a hand on her cheek, then used his hand to reach inside her shirt and touch her breasts.
Frightened, the girl push his arm away and sped off to school, where she told a teacher what had happened. The teacher then contacted and informed the girl’s parents.
The girl’s grandmother explained that she and the girl’s parents had been unable to accompany the girl to and from school because of work. The girl’s grandfather will now take on that responsibility.
