Villagers have stumbled on an 11 year-old girl living in a bush in a tarpaulin tent by herself, eating only wild leaves and morning glory/watercress after she had run away from home 20 days ago to escape repeated beatings by her violent father.
11 year-old Sok Reastr Ros, which means 'a citizen living happily', was found living in a bush behind the village in Chok Chey village, O'Bei Choan commune in O'Chrov district in Banteay Meanchey province at 4pm on 8th May living in a tarpaulin tent, eating only watercress and wild leaves.
Mr. Kham Yan, chief of O'Bei Choan Police, said he had been informed that villagers had found an 11 year-old girl living in the bush by herself and he went and brought her back to the village under heavy rain. He said went the police arrived at her tent, they only found a bunch of watercress and a packet of pounded salted chilli at her side. She told police that she had escaped from home on 12th April because she cannot endure repeated beatings from her violent father. She said she lived under the tent for 20 days, under heavy rain without food and blanket and only eat watercress for the last 20 days. She was so skinny and very weak when she was found.
The girl told police that on the day she run away, her father asked her to go to ask a neighbour for basil leaves for the cooking. After she cannot get the basil leaves she was too afraid to come back home because her father was very violent who had beaten her many times before.
Police had summoned the girl's parent, Mr.Sok Sarath and Ms. Loeun Pov, both 50 years old, to the police station. They told police that she is a very difficult girl. On the day she disappeared, her father gave her the money to buy some cigarette and she had disappeared since then. However, they said they do not want the girl back and gave her to the authority. Mr. Suong Moeung, chief of O'Bei choan commune, told Koh Santepheap that this family is very poor and some days they went without food. The couple had 9 children and Sok Reastr Ros is the 7th child. Police and commune chief said that the girl's father, Sok Sarath has been jailed for 2 years because he had attacked and injured his wife with a machete before. He had just been released from jail when his daughter ran away from home.
The girl has been since sent to a Cambodian Women's Crisis Centre (CWCC). Mr. Pin Phirum, an official from the CWCC, said the girl has been housed at CWCC centre in the Banteay Meanchey provincial town. He said the girl is very emaciated and she had scars, bruises and gangrenes/infections all over her body. He said she had suffered severe psychological trauma because even in the centre she was very timid, kept to herself all the time and is very scared of everybody.

Her father should be charged for child abused and should be in jail for the crime that he committed. What a shame, this is the year 2011 and still have to deal with uneducated people who know nothing but abusing others around them. Khmer must have law to protect the children being abused by the adults. Education is important for all parents across the whole nation. e,g parenting skills versus children behaviour skills. both young and old have to learn to respect one another.

Poor but more children that cause too many problem inside Khmer societies.
Some help out the poors kids,,,,,give shelter and police talk to the father,,,,
Judging from her clothes her father is not fit to be man, rather lower than a dog. A dog do not treat its puppies like this.
How could this scumbag let his child wear a rage?
Children are not too blame for anything, they are the most innocents which depend on adults guardians to guide them through thick and thin. These adults failed miserably.
What she needs now is a pair of good shoes, proper clothes, food and shelter.
(correction on rage, should be rag)

If you let your boss Hun Dog running Cambodia for any longer maybe all children become like her. Especially when your illegal government rob houses and land belong to the parents.

A typical Hun Sen's supporters are like like him. Mindless idiot and subhuman.
A lot more Cambodians will live in the jungle like this because HUN sen is giving the lands to his master, youn.
Every times Hoon xen supporters stick their head in Ki like 10:51pm, we whack their head just like playing "hitting the mole' s head" game.

You eat too much Hun Sen’s shit.
So shut your fucking mouth, superman, because your breath stings.
Tran Minh Tri, 56, stands in front of his class holding a large stick in his right hand. He strikes it against a desk to draw his pupils’ attention. They repeat back his instructions in Vietnamese.
The blackboard behind him is covered in Vietnamese. This could be a scene taken from anywhere in rural Vietnam, only Lien Huu School is in the floating village of Chong Koh, Kampong Chhnang province.
“None of the lessons are in Khmer,” says Tran Minh Tri. “I can’t teach in Khmer.”
Born in Vietnam, Tran Minh Tri came to Cambodia 20 years ago to trade fish. He started teaching at the school five years ago because he “believes in Jesus”. The cross above the school gives away the religious nature of the school.
“The children are good,” he says. “They live around here and come by boat.”
The overwhelming majority of Kampong Chhnang’s boat people are Vietnamese.
Huon Vorn, the village chief for neighbouring Kandal village, estimates there are about 360 families in Chong Koh, of which maybe 30 are Khmer. In his village only 40 out of the 474 families are ethnic Khmer, including his own.
Like most of the structures in the floating village, the school is built on buoyant pontoons. Most of the houses in Kandal village are built on stilts.
“The main problem is when the big storms come,” says Tran Minh Tri. Then houses can come loose from their moorings.
With an average class size of about 50 students, Tran Minh Tri admits it is tiring work. He also has no cover. “When I am ill there is no school,” he says.
According to Huon Vorn, Lien Huu is one of two floating schools in Kampong Chhnang. Neither teaches in Khmer. The few Khmers who live on the water send their children to school on the mainland. The Vietnamese children also go there once they have completed Grade 4.
“We try to teach Vietnamese to the children first and then they go to the Khmer school afterwards,” says Tran Minh Tri.
However, change is on its way.
“A primary school is being constructed on the land near the Vietnamese pagoda,” says Huon Vorn. “The funds for the new school have come from a Vietnamese association in Australia. It will be completed by the time the floods come.”
The village leader adds that there are plans to move his villagers voluntarily from the water to dry land, although precise plans have not yet been presented to the villagers. “The majority of them do not want to go anywhere,” he says. “This is where they work.”

When the gov't is the Viet slave, the Viet can do as they please in Cambodia.
Can KI raise the money for her, I would help with $10.00
Thanks
stupid parents, she could do a lot of things, they just ask and they will obtain, she is usefull now, she needs just tell her to do..
My heart is broken to see the young children like her to be abused by her evil father. I myself have children at her age and I try to protect my children as best as I could. How can the parents beat up their children or kill their own children? If you want to die, just die yourself and don't take the children' lives with you. Especially, in the USA parents take children lives away and kill himself or herself. These are sick people. Spare the child.
Place the father back to jail and let the inmates torture him to see how he feels.
6:11 AM,
Keep your dirty money you cheap bastard.
8:45AM, what' s wrong with 6:11AM? why did you called him cheap bastard? he got very good idea, if one person contributes $10.00 and 50 people contribute, it would make $500.00 which is a lot in Cambodia.
And swearing and calling people name will collect $ 0.000000
It is a very sad life for the little child. If I was near her, I would adapt and take good care of her. A child like her would deserve so much of love. No one deserve to live in this codition. Poor little one. I wish the best for her. May god be with her and find a lovely home for her. I agree with 902. It is the thought that counted.
$10.0 is a good humble amount of money in Cambodia as everyone pocket is different.
Do not underestimate the will of a person, some people prepare to donate $10 every month which is more than someone who donate $50 for just once off.
oh the violence..khmer society is so violent..under these smiling faces there lurk.. rotten teeth

Basically you are not wrong. Look at the killing fields and the present situation.
