I could be completely wrong, but in fact, i kidnapped also a boy, in Pailin. He was probably 6 years old, he knever saw a Barang, knever was out of Pailin. I was driving my car from SR to Pailin, to visit some family from my (that time) girl-friend. She went during the day to do some shopping in Pailin-border-market just across the border, and she ddint need to do any paperwork with her Khmer-id-card, and as i couldnt go, i went to have a drink in town. When she turn up in the early evening, she told me, we have a passenger tomotrrow to go back to PP !! ?? When they arrived the next morning, the boy was crying loudely, i think the borderguards would hear it a mile away. But once in the car, he was the perfect passenger, not a word before PP, if you have a "western" kid in your car for several hours, about 85% of them i want to kick them out of the car the first hour.
Went for some meal on the road (where i find out he never saw a fork or spoon). And once in PP i dropped him with my girl at her family. I asked her, why was he crying before getting in the car, and after he was so quiet ?? The answer was: he wanted to see the big city of PP but his mom didnt !! ?? Exactly the opposite what i thaught. He went to school in PP and tries to study english. As i didnt speak with my ex without being drunk (she and/or me), i have no idea how he is doing in the big city now. All this happened in 2017 !! Big kidnapping !!
