Five Children Rescued from Alleged Role in Pornographic Video Ring in Phetchabun
News Story:
PHETCHABUN – Five children from a single family have been removed from their home and placed in protective custody amid shocking allegations of exploitation in the production and distribution of pornographic videos via a Line chat group.
The investigation centers on a 34-year-old mother of nine. Authorities intervened after the Pen Nueng Foundation received public complaints and collaborated with the Phetchabun Shelter for Children and Families to act swiftly.
The five children, all minors under the age of 18, were taken for medical examinations after being extracted from the household. Allegations suggest the family’s eldest daughter played a key role in the operation, allegedly recruiting buyers for the explicit content.
While the children’s father has denied the charges, asserting the videos were digitally manipulated, the mother claimed her daughter had been framed by individuals using old footage to distort the truth.
Initially denying involvement, the eldest daughter reportedly confessed after being confronted with evidence, according to police.
Authorities are now tracking financial transactions and reviewing the video content to determine its authenticity. If confirmed as real, criminal proceedings will move forward. However, if the videos are found to have been fabricated or digitally altered, the children may be returned to the family, with ongoing welfare monitoring and support to ensure their protection.
