It should be "should go" not "so go"
From today's Nation. This is really sickening. When you see the look of desparation on the kids that work the entertainment circuit, you now know the reason why...
CHILD EXPLOITATION: 4 Burmese nabbed for trafficking
Published on Sep 10, 2003
Four Burmese were picked up yesterday in Nonthaburi on suspicion of trafficking in eight Burmese between four and 12 years of age and forcing them to sell candy in Bangkok night entertainment districts.
Police raided a rented house in Muang district where the children stayed and arrested three women and a man aged between 32 and 43 as well as a Thai woman who identified herself as Ameena Amad, 19. She had rented the house to the four suspects and was charged with harbouring illegal immigrants.
Police said they were tipped off by the Foundation for Women, which had earlier rescued an eight-year-old Burmese girl from another human trafficking ring. The girl has been staying at Ban Kredtrakan Women's Protection and Occupational Training Centre since August 14.
"Mimi" told police that she and her five-year-old sister were smuggled from the Burmese border town of Mywaddy to Tak province's Mae Sot district and sent to the rented house along with the others.
Pol Colonel Suras Udomrat, superintendent of the Child Welfare Division, said the children had to earn at least Bt1,000 a day each peddling candy and gum in karaoke lounges and bars in Chatuchak or face torture and assault.
"They were stabbed with a screwdriver and hit on the head. Some were kicked in the mouth and had their teeth broken. The traffickers also used pliers to squeeze their sex organs and some had chilli powder sprinkled into their eyes," he said.
The suspects will be prosecuted and then deported by the Immigration Bureau, he said.
A nine-year-old Burmese boy said he came with his mother and three siblings two years ago to sell sweets near Chatuchak Weekend Market from 7pm to 1am. He said he did not want to go back to Burma because he could make more money here, about Bt300 a day.
Ban Kredtrakan has asked police to submit the children to psychological rehabilitation before sending them back to their homeland.
