Police Seek to ID Child Found Alone on Mountain in Battambang

by Phan Soumy | July 14, 2016

Authorities are trying to identify a young girl found on Tuesday in a makeshift hammock among some trees near a religious site frequented by tourists in Battambang province.

Two moto-taxi drivers who had been ferrying tourists to the top of Phnom Sampov spotted the toddler lying in a scarf tied between two trees off a narrow road in Banan district’s Phnom Sampov commune, according to district police chief Thorng Thin.

The drivers reported the situation to commune police who arrived at the site with district police at about 8:30 a.m., said Mr. Thin, who added that he believed the girl was about 3 years old and Cambodian.

“We don’t know where the girl is from and who her parents are,” Mr. Thin said. “We haven’t figured it out yet.”

“According to the police’s assumption, the girl wasn’t abandoned very long ago,” he added. “She might have just been abandoned earlier in the morning.”

Mr. Thin said police officers examined the girl at the site and found that she was unresponsive and “it seems like she is not physically and mentally normal,” he said, adding that she was unable to speak or walk.

Disabled girl, 4, abandoned in Battambang woods by parents

Thu, 14 July 2016

An abandoned disabled girl was found in Battambang’s Phnom Sampov commune on Tuesday, police said.

The girl was left in a scarf fashioned into a hammock in the trees near Sampov Mountain at a spot where people could see her, said Banan district police chief, Tan Vanny. A doll and milk were nearby.

“The girl looked just fine, but she is mentally ill and could not move,” Vanny said, adding she also cannot talk, and her foot and leg were limp.

Police are looking for the relatives, who could face up to three years in prison for abandoning an underage person, he said. Vendors in the area said they saw two men riding a moto bring her to the area.

The girl was taken to the government-run Borey orphanage in Battambang on Tuesday, said Pen Veasna, assistant chief of the facility. “She is probably 4 to 5 years old. She is lacking Vitamin A, and we [will] cure her mouth sore,” he said. She also needs physical therapy. “I don’t know if she can walk or will recover, because we have not treated her yet.”

The orphanage now has seven abandoned disabled children, he added.
