Demanding compensation  from a family with almost nothing , pointless.  

Probably the only chance for the attacker, not to get a real criminal record. Since this kind of compensation makes often charges go away.

Unfortunately, this kind of behavior is merely another way of the richer to get away with their misdeeds. Legal intimidation and lawsuits is very often a pure sham mechanism, IMHO. You bully or harass soemone until they snap and then use your superior situation to exploit the situation. Hopefully the legal system will see through this and realize that going after someone for their poor background is some of the lowest acts you can can committ, even if it is "legal". 

   15 year old boys have more pride than wisdom. When someone else exploits this difference, that should be understood as provocation. Be nice, polite and respectful. Has never failed me neither in Thailand, Norway, India, Russia, Cuba, Amsterdam or all the other places I have frequented and been in distressing situations.

It is never very pleasant being poor and obviously the victim has never endured that problem.

Do notice here in Thailand that children are not taught to share with others.  Often see a child in a group  scoffing down whatever when "their friends" have nothing even to the stage of taking a bite and giving the rest to a soi dog. 

Would have had my rear tanned good and proper if my mother had ever seen me do that.

Thailand has a pervasive caste system that really effects their people 

 

I grew up dirt poor but never felt I didn't belong anywhere

If my Mom saved, then we deserved to be anywhere she wanted to take us

 

And unfortunately that is very much not the case in Thailand 

 

So many people are made to feel they don't belong in certain schools, restaurants, hotels, etc

 

And it is in every aspect of the culture

Yeah totally sinking the family inot the abyss. Better they ride their high horse and order the kid work it off as becoming their personal indentured servant with the stipulation he has to wai their feet everytime he goes and leaves the house. I think they should counter sue under the grounds of bullying causing him to lose face under defamation.

There are 2 victims here. But the one who was bullied also lost face. The one who was stabbed should have seen his mouthy BS building up to an oh oh. Friend my arse.
