Kindergartener still in ICU

A three-year-old remained in intensive care yesterday after she was left unattended all day in a parked school van on Wednesday.

“Her brain is swollen,” said Saowanee Chaisuparassameekul, a member of the Paediatric Critical Care Medicine unit at Bangkok Hospital.
The teacher and driver were not aware that Manassanan Thongphoo left inside the locked vehicle until the end of the school day. The child’s mother, Rattana Nakhonsopa, was told later that her daughter was found unconscious.
Rattana has called on the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women for help. Pavena Hongsakul has said she has already reported the case to police for further action.
