A Khon Kaen student endured severe bullying—including threats, extortion, and physical assault—for two years before reporting to police. The incident sparked wider debate on school safety and mental health impacts. Experts warn that bullying affects 91.79% of Thai children, with psychological consequences including depression, anxiety, and self-harm risk. The school has implemented response measures, but the case underscores systemic gaps in safeguarding and early intervention.
