A woman accused by her partner of abandoning their two year old child in Buriram after receiving a 5,000 baht aid payment has responded through her family, who deny the allegations and say she left to escape domestic abuse. In a recent update, the woman’s mother and younger sister, who also live in Lahan Sai district, both denied the man’s claims. Her daughter then left the child with her and told her she was leaving to work in another province. The woman’s sister echoed the mother’s account and questioned the man’s timeline. Honekrasae reported that both the mother and sister said the woman had long endured mistreatment, and this time she had no intention of returning.
