Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister of social development and human security( MSDHS ), stated that all forms of domestic violence must end as soon as possible in order to foster strong families that safeguard children from potential vulnerabilities.
” Not only do we advocate for the end of fury in November, but we also have to take the problem into consideration all year long.”
According to Mr. Varawut,” If violence is discovered, please report to our official Line account @ esshelpme” or the MSDHS hotline, 1300, which is open 24 / 7.
The MSDHS discovered that there were 4, 127 violent incidents between September of last year and October of this year, an increase from the 2, 493 incidents in the previous fiscal time.
The information was gathered from enquiries made to the line.
3, 024 of them involved sexual patients. 67.31 % of the cases were domestic in nature, and 32.6 % were outside the family.
The majority of the cases involved sexual abuse, physical abuse, and sexual exploitation.
The Royal Thai Police, which has established programs to assist survivors, is another common organization that works to put an end to the crime.
indications of hostility
Violence and aggression among children are fueled by pressures from the home, atmosphere, and youngsters themselves, according to Pol Maj Potchalapol Kijpinyochai, a physician at the Child and Adolescent division of the Police General Hospital.
Teens who exhibit dangerous or self-destructive behavior toward others typically deal with those stress in life, according to Pol Maj Potchalapol.
According to the police psychiatrist, extreme teenagers frequently exhibit early symptoms of mental illnesses that have an impact on their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and may or may not be noticed by others.
He claimed that the main observers of adolescent anger are family, friends, and teachers.
Potchalapol: Take note of life’s stress
If there is no prior action, police may not be able to stop outbursts.
However, the police department continues to provide patients with house and” Depress, We Care” for those who have experienced violence.
The program offers consultations from psychotherapists via a 24-hour line and Facebook message chat.
Integrative social workers who care for victims of physical and sexual abuse or a tough upbringing organize the shelter.
The number of medical patients has increased, according to Pol Col Krerkkamol Yamprayoon, captain of the Police General Hospital’s drug and mental health division, as well as the dangers of harming themselves and others.
He asserted that in order to develop a appropriate sentence for juvenile criminals involved in such crimes, the law must take into account both the time and the effects of the activities of young offenders as well as thorough study.
needed for support from family
81 % of Thai kids own their own tablets and smartphones, according to Yanee Rajtborirak, chairman of Thailand’s Healthy Media Hub, indicating a high level of digital knowledge, at least in terms of exposure.
She claimed that kids are at risk of online fraud and abuse, citing a computer threat survey from last year.
On social media, some kids might likewise bully other kids.
According to the DQ Institute’s child online safety( COS ) index, which included data from more than 30 nations, Thailand ranks low in terms of digital competency among children.
Although the nation has a sizable digital infrastructure, in order for kids to keep up with modern information, online skills must be taught.
Thai kids must know how to use the internet properly and profit from it. The web is primarily used for pleasure, not to better people’s lives, according to Ms. Yanee.
ThaiHealth, according to Ms. Yanee, will establish an ecosystem for wellness media to ensure security and enhance people’s net abilities to access online information.
Yanee: Beliefs need to shift.
According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( Unesco ), this idea is also known as media information digital literacy( MIDL ), which is a crucial digital skill.
Internet users will be able to access, analyze, produce, and eat media and information for self-improvement thanks to the MIDL’s vital components.
In addition to assisting kids, ThaiHealth may increase teachers’ ability to safely get online media and promote relevant policies, according to the spokesperson.
When asked if society lacks a solution to assist children who have been the victims of online challenges, Ms. Yanee responded that the importance of family support had been rated moderately but needed to be raised.
To make it secure for kids to confide in adults about their problems, safe zones may be established in the environment, she said.
ThaiHealth has created a system to check for misleading information on websites. To combat fake news, contribution from all fields is required.
Family is an important factor in establishing a healthy environment for kids.
Children’s mindsets need to be changed in order to prevent them from developing personal ties to things. We need to increase people’s self-esteem and sense of worth in living,” Ms. Yanee said.
