Social media was flooded with photos of the two boys tied
to a tree outside a temple where they were said to have stolen 200 baht
from at the weekend.
Dozens of locals gathered on Monday in the village to
protest and demand the couple were arrested and charged with child abuse
after the severe punishment they dished out after taking it upon
themselves to be judge, jury and executioner.
The boys' guardian together with a social worker later took
the boys to the local police station to file an official complaint with
the Abbot of Wat Thung Niang asking the mayor to push for an arrest.
When police eventually catch up with the couple they are looking at child abuse, assault and illegal detention charges.
