According to a professor at Thammasat University, the latest case of families who filmed their kids in pornographic movies in Phetchabun state may encourage more government involvement.
A household of 12 lived in Nam Nao area in the case. Authorities claim the parents sold the videos to private online groups after producing explicit information featuring some of their nine children, who range in age from two to 21.
Even if the kids appeared to attend freely, according to Assoc Prof. Auschala Chalayonnavin, dean of the Faculty of Social Administration at Thammasat University, it is still regarded as a criminal offence because the majority of the students were under the age of 18, according to Assoc Prof. Chalayonnavin.
Five children were taken from the home and placed in position treatment, according to officials.
Assoc Prof. Auschala claimed that similar circumstances have increased worldwide, largely as a result of economic factors. Some families turn to intimate content as a fast source of income as many people struggle with hardship and job loss.
She warned that Thailand may experience more instances of this kind without precautionary measures.
She demanded that the government use AI to identify for content and collaborate with social media platforms and foreign law enforcement to stop the spread of such child porn.
The US is cited as a model for sex offenders who produce, possess, or distribute child pornography, particularly when force is involved, according to the headmaster.
She claimed that Thailand lacks similar legal frameworks, and that life in prison is only permitted by human trafficking rules when crimes are committed by organized sites of more than three individuals. According to her,” Whether the Phetchabun case meets these criteria is up to authorities and the judge’s interpretation,” she said.
Similar to the US, social workers in Thailand you delay action due to the country’s laws that require them to wait for a court order before separating the kids. She also cautioned parents to be cautious when posting images of their nude babies online because the photos might be used or sold, particularly among paedophiles.
