Ok so while we don't know all the details and she may well have been abusive
BUT i can tell you this from talking to the locals that the Thai police are corrupt and "typically" do things like this.
How can they hold a mother of 4 away from her chn and have her possiblly serve a term of 5 yrs in jail for "petty" theft...
This is disgraceful and I really do hope the embassy is doing all it can. But a lesson to all of us who travel - you can never be to careful.
and we head to Thailand in less than a month...
