Ladda said a motto such as "We don't disregard each other" should be played with a public relations campaign to encourage such thinking.
Local administrative bodies could play a major role in nourishing such a mentality in the minds of young people in the community.
The ministries assigned to handle this task include Public Health, Social Development and Human Security, and the Interior - with the Foundation providing guidance and implementations assigned to local bodies.
Dr Banlue Siriphanich, a retired doctor known for his integrity and honesty, called on media to report fully about old parents abused by adult children. That would make the public analyse the roots of such problems, rather than the existing coverage, which he felt focused mainly on hardship and seeking donations. [rc]
