Parents to face charges over child sex clips

The father of a 5-year-old girl will press charges against the parents of two 12-year-old girls who made the young child engage in sex acts with a 7-year-old boy while they filmed them.

Officials on Monday met the family of the 5-year-old in Kamphaeng Phet province after the footage of the sex acts was spread in their community.

On Sunday, the families of the 5-year-old girl and the 7-year-old boy went to the police station to file complaints against the perpetrators' parents.

According to the complaints, the two young victims, who are related, were coerced by their 12-year-old neighbours into "having sex" with each other while being filmed in exchange for snacks and toys.

The victims said they did it three times but never received anything.

Their families said the parents of the two girls did not show any remorse or accept any responsibility for their children's actions.

The families called on state agencies to investigate the case and asked that the victims be transferred to other schools to ensure their safety and prevent a similar incident from happening.

Police urged those who have the video clips to delete them, saying that sharing them is illegal.
