Who is this Female Vigilante Wannabe Bothering a Father with his Kids on Riverside?

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

This was sent to CEO about an expat woman on Phnom Penh's Riverside bothering a father out with his kids on a Sunday afternoon:

"This afternoon I was enjoying lunch at La Croisette with my two kids and a local expat friend. An expat woman came over asking my kids lots of questions. It seemed pretty innocent at first but then it became apparent her implication was that they were not my kids, and that her questioning was somehow intended to prove this and some wrongdoing on my part. I interjected at that point but she started telling me it was better to be safe than sorry and that you can’t be too careful, as if she was some vigilante saving the country. I told her she was done talking to us and to go away in a controlled but firm manner (not wanting to upset my kids). She continued to try and justify her actions but eventually she left.

I have been in Cambodia for many, many years but never had such an experience. I find it shocking that a self-appointed vigilante is able to, at will, interrupt the quiet enjoyment of my Sunday family time with such insinuations. Her suggestion that we were paedophiles for sitting in a restaurant with my own children is horrifying. Being accused wrongly of such a heinous crime is disgusting, and not something to throw around lightly. She suggested that she had been in Cambodia for 20 years but I don’t believe it given her inability to discern that my kids are not 100% Khmer (which is blindingly obvious to anyone who’s been here for any length of time) and her complete misreading of the situation.

This cannot be allowed to become the norm, hence my contact with CEO. I would like to know if anyone can tell me the name and position of this person, so that I can at least identify her and then consider any further action I might take to prevent a recurrence for us or anyone else.

She sounded American or possibly Canadian.

Attached is a photo of her.

why did u let her sit down?<
Someone tried that with my daughter and me way back in 2006 when she was 12, in Phnom Pehn. I told her to leave and got the restaurants manger to make her leave, happened also in SR.
BUT it never happened in Thailand, Laos, Singapore, France, Greece or America

What happened to mind ur own business??

Lol, is that alluding to the similar incident that happened to LTO?

RIP and bless his heart, he handled that situation with far more aplomb and gentlemanly grace than I certainly could have mustered if I were in his shoes.

Happened to me once, a long time ago as I was in the check-out line at Lucky supermarket. Lady asked, ,, are those your ( 2 ) kids. I said, well they are as soon as I pay for them, but there is plenty left on the shelf down the isle in the baby section, go buy your own.

End of conversation.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Good idea, if we can identify her you could stick her with a defamation suit. I would bet that she hasn't been here for long at all, she's probably just a short-term volunteer like that silly woman in Kampot who got completely disowned by the organization she thought she could speak for. I'm lucky in that my kid looks very like me, others probably face way more scrutiny.

Here's an article about an old friend (who I haven't seen in years but the point still stands) and his daughter who had some terrible aspersions thrown at them over the years:

Damn.

"In Phnom Penh, a city renowned for sex tourism and almost weekly pedophilia scandals, many people are swift to connect the dots when they see a middle-aged white man with a young girl of Asian descent. Sex tourists are so common that the term “sexpat” is commonly used throughout Southeast Asia"
