Swiss Expat (SALT Academy Football Coach) Tried To Forcefully Take Kid From Cambodian Mother in Battambang (VIDEO)

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

CAMBODIA NEWS: Swiss Expat Sam Schweingruber who coaches football for SALT Academy in Battambang was caught on video trying to rip (presumably) his kid from the arms of the Cambodian mother.

It sounds like the kid is saying "mommy" and the mother is heard screaming "YOU WANT TO KILL ME?!"

Awww man, that poor kid is terrified, he definitely says, in clear English, that he wants to stay with his mummy.

I wonder what the background to this incident was?

How easy/hard is it for a Barang man to become the guardian of a kid? I honestly have no idea but suspect that the mother will almost always win?

I don't know about foreigners but frequently Khmer fathers win custody because they are the bread winners.

Sam Schweingruber sounds like a hero, according to his Wikipedia page:

"Despite Sam Schweingruber committing himself to fight against corruption, Phnom Penh Crown had been torn asunder after unfalsified voice recordings showed that seven players and four staff were purportedly involved in perpetrating a match manipulation scandal which did not adhere to the rules. Since this happened, Phnom Penh Crown were not allowed to take part in the 2017 AFC Cup. Later, the club were exonerated of match-fixing as Sam Schweingruber and the club were trying to fight it by launching an investigation to uncover those who were trying to alter the results. Two days after winning the 2015 Cambodian League with Phnom Penh Crown, Schweingruber was involved in a serious motorcycle crash and was rushed to hospital where he remained for several days in a perilous condition.

Way back in 2006, Schweingruber's helmet was stolen by a youth who was under the influence of drugs so Schweingruber endeavoured to establish an academy which would help Cambodian youth development. It was named the SALT Academy. This academy teaches football and indispensable life skills to children from impecunious families in rural Cambodia. The SALT Academy also contains a group called the Mighty Girls which specializes in teaching girls football."
