THAI POLICE ARE hunting for the parents of a newborn infant who survived being stabbed multiple times and buried alive in a field, officers say.
The baby boy, who had more than a dozen stab wounds, was discovered in a shallow grave covered with leaves by a farmer in the northeastern province of Khon Kaen.
The woman found the stricken baby after hearing the infant’s cries while her cows grazed on a eucalyptus plantation on Tuesday, local media reported.
“We’ve deployed police to find the culprit,” case officer Nopporn Rithnual told AFP.
The infant was now “out of danger” according to Nopporn and being cared for at a hospital in the province, with local TV channels airing footage of doctors hovering around the child’s bed.
Police have yet to uncover a motive behind the grisly crime.
Abortions are illegal but common in Thailand, which has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the region but a conservative society that stigmatises premarital sex.
Despite the country’s reputation as one of the globe’s sex industry hubs, sex education targeting youth is limited and largely focuses on promoting abstinence.
In 2011 an undertaker was sentenced to 40 months in prison for helping hide roughly 2,000 illegally aborted foetuses on the grounds of a Buddhist temple in Bangkok.

Survived being stabbed and buried alive? Is there nothing that can stop this baby??
It’s Rasputin come again..
Poor little angel
Thats terrible
this is what happens when u restrict abortion, guys. no matter if u disagree with it from a moral viewpoint, it should always b up to the woman. woman have historically always sought ways to terminate pregnancies, and if its not available in a safe and legal environment, women will resort to soap and bleach, catheters, u name it. to the prolife camp, i say, get the f*** over it, it’s a reality, and no matter how much u hate women, its still going to happen
I’d more be inclined to say this is what happens if you have a twisted mind,regardless of mindsets after unwanted infants who would subject a little baby to something so twisted.
Jesus help us, what a heartbreaking story. the innocent baby, God help it
Tat is shocking news
