Parents of Siam Paragon mall shooter in Bangkok seek forgiveness

The parents of a 14-year-old boy who carried out a shooting at a shopping mall in Bangkok have issued an apology and asked for forgiveness. The boy has been charged with murder after killing two people at the Siam Paragon mall, and his motives for the attack are still unclear. Thai authorities have charged him with premeditated murder and illegal possession of a firearm. The boy's father released a letter in Thai, expressing the family's cooperation with the legal process. The parents expressed deep regret and offered their apologies to the victims, their families, and all those affected by the incident. The boy is currently in juvenile detention, and the family has not requested bail. The police believe that the boy had a psychological breakdown prior to the shooting, but a court rejected their request to detain him at a mental health facility.
