According to Thai media such as Kaosod Broadcasting and Tairat News, police and rescue teams were dispatched early on the 8th (local time) after receiving a report that a girl was crying at a gas station at a rest stop in Nanglong District, Thailand.
When the rescue team arrived, the girl with the bag was being looked after by two women who were passing by. The two women said they reported seeing the girl sitting alone crying for a long time. The six-year-old girl was unable to speak about her family or home address. There was no ID, only a bag of sticky rice and a water bottle in the bag.
Based on the child's accent, the police determined that he may be from Laos.
Since then, police have posted an appeal to find the child's parents on social media.
Netizens actively shared posts so that the girl could find her family.
Since then, a woman who claims to be of Lao nationality has contacted her that she seems to be her daughter.
According to her, the daughter got off for a while to go to the bathroom at a rest area while taking a bus from Laos to Bangkok with her uncle, and later said her daughter did not seem to have been able to get on the bus.
The actual CCTV footage showed the uncle getting off the bus with the girl. The roads were crossed because each of them entered the men's and women's bathrooms.
As a result of the investigation, my uncle returned to the bus and asked the driver about his nephew's whereabouts, and when the driver said he was lying in the back of the bus, my uncle sat in his seat and headed for Bangkok.
The bus then traveled 400 kilometers and arrived at Bangkok's Motchit bus stop, where the mother of the girl, who was waiting for her, found out that she was missing only after asking for her daughter's whereabouts.
When I reported this to the police, I heard that the other Nanglong district police were protecting it. Mother and daughter were able to meet again dramatically afterwards.
Netizens are asking "How can an uncle not take care of his nephew's condition while he travels a long distance?", "I don't understand that you just listen to the driver and go as it is", "Did you abandon it on purpose?" give a back reaction.
