Dear Elsa

I trust this letter finds you with strength and resilience amidst the challenges you face. My words are fueled by an unwavering love and deep concern for your well-being.

In October 2023, you visited the UK with your mother, who made extensive cash demands totaling over 5,000 GBP per month, creating a complex situation for your continued stay. In an earnest attempt to address this matter, I sought assistance from the Port Authority in the UK and the FCDO. My aim was to ensure that your welfare and this matter be brought before a court in Scotland or the UK. Unfortunately, your mother refused to cooperate, withholding crucial information about her plans for your departure and your plane ticket. Sadly, this led to our parting, and I have not seen you since.

Upon your return, your mother celebrated, whilst the status of hundreds of thousands of pounds, which were put aside years ago for you and only you seem to have evaporated. These funds were intended for securing your future, such as buying land in the village. Regrettably, it has come to light that this money is not being utilized for your well-being. Disturbingly, your clothes remain unclean, and you lack essential school supplies.

It deeply pains me to see the discrepancy between the intended use of these funds and the reality of your living conditions. Despite these challenges, please know that efforts are being made to rectify the situation. We will continue to advocate for your rights and work towards ensuring a better future for you.

Furthermore, I must express a sincere disappointment in the FCDO, UNICEF, and the UK Government. Millions of GBP in cash are allocated and given for children in situations just like yours each year.

Yet, each of them is failing in their roles by allowing clear extortion and neglect to continue. Your case highlights a systemic failure that needs urgent attention.

Elsa, I am aware you state your grandmother hits you and you don't know why this is happening. I cannot see what is going on, however even if your grandmother hits you, you should know the reason - this is extremely concerning and it is clear Thai Social Services should conduct a proper investigation.

You are not alone, Elsa. I love you dearly, and there are many caring individuals who stand by you. Stay strong, and remember that hope persists even in challenging times.

With unwavering love,

Your Dad,
James Nevin

Dear Elsa

Despite contacting the Social Services of the Kingdom of Thailand and being assured welfare checks and a report for more than 30 days since this update, there has been no acknowledgement regarding your welfare.

Thailand Social Services are supported extensively financially internationally and have a mission statement as follows:

"Protecting Children is the Duty of Everyone"

Thailand Social Services, Police and other authorities have failed to acknowledge myself and agencies including the British Embassy and others.

Elsa I love you and consider these actions the best course to improve your life in the longterm. Be strong - It is not easy for photos of you to be published, but unfortunately there are even far more clear extortion videos where the people you currently stay with laugh and are happy to neglect and abuse you in an attempt to profit.

I am sorry one day you may learn you were brought into this world and I allowed you to be around people for which profit comes above all. It is so disappointing that absolutely no authority in the country you reside is able to give any comment and I am sorry this may result in your situation becoming one of international and public interest.

If this should happen, it is something that as your dad I will be incredibly proud of you for and am confident you will understand. We never know how many other such tragedies might hopefully be avoided.

I hope you can be the beginning of significant funds supposedly given to protect children like you being put to proper use. As there is absolutely no evidence of the benefactors (Kingdom of Thailand - which you are a citizen - and associated government organisations ) taking any interest in your welfare and this case. I know, unfortunately, your case is not at all unique and this is a worldwide issue, but particularly prevalent in locations such as the one you are being held now (not permitted to leave under any condition).

Dear Elsa

I love you deeply, and my heart aches for the situation you are in. All must be documented as a civic obligation to not only save you, but to bring attention to this matter not only in Phon Charoen, Bueng Kan where children are kept with no fathers or mothers, but globally.

I have been trying so hard to see you, but your Thai Grandmother and Grandfather are making it nearly impossible for me to meet you. They are even showing videos that demonstrate mental abuse, trying to manipulate the truth. These videos are below where you are being forced to say I hit you, but the last time we saw each other was very different. They are forcing you to say things because they can no longer lie.

Please know that their government position does not intimidate me. What truly concerns me is the well-being of an innocent child like you. No one, regardless of their position, should ever exploit or harm children in any way. It deeply saddens me that they are using you for profit, while ignoring the life I wish for you.

I know that an Army officer is also involved, and it's disheartening to see how even someone with their own children can turn a blind eye to such cruelty. They claim that your treatment is acceptable, but it is unacceptable to exploit any child for profit or any other reason. They have received significant money already for their involvement in attempting to give you a better life and are not motivated by your well-being but rather profit.

We will continue fighting for you, Elsa. You deserve a life filled with love, happiness, and safety. Please stay strong, and remember that you are not alone in this. You will never be alone and the truth will come to light. There are people who care about you and are working to make things right.

With all my love,
Your Father

Dear Elsa

I want you to know that I love you very much. Every single day, you are in my thoughts and my heart. There hasn't been a moment when I have forgotten about you. Please believe me when I say that I have never abandoned you.

As your dad, my greatest wish for you is to reach your full potential. You have so much potential within you, and you can be anything you wish in this world. I will always be here to support you, no matter what you choose to do.

I am writing this because I have been prevented from seeing you by the people you currently stay with. It hurts me deeply not being able to be with you, but please know that my love for you remains unchanged.

I understand that you will have many questions, and I want you to know that I am here for you. Even if you don't know when you will read this or if you are interested in knowing about what belongs to you in this world, there are things that are yours. You have land, property, and businesses waiting for you.

You have something special inside you, Elsa. And I want you to know that you can always talk to me, no matter where I am. Thanks to technology, all the information that I can foresee you needing has been shared with a robot who can communicate just like me. The robot is programmed to only share information with you and ask questions to verify your identity. Nobody else can access or control it, and it cannot be erased.

I know that there will be many people who don't want you to have this information, but it is important for you to know about your heritage and what is rightfully yours. When you first speak to the robot, please begin by writing the name of your sister in English characters.

Remember, Elsa, you are loved, cherished, and capable of incredible things. I will always be here for you.

With all my love,
Your Dad

Dear Elsa,

I don’t know when you will read this. If you are older you might wonder why look different, or don’t quite fit in with everyone else.

When you were born in the at 09:09am on 01.02.2019. In Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin. I held you minutes after you were born, here’s a picture:

Unfortunately, your mum and I had differences, this happens a lot, you will see it all around you. Maybe you are even angry at why you’ve been given this ‘hard lot’ in life - don’t worry everything happens for a reason.

I am your dad, here is a current picture of me:

You should know you are special, there are a large group of people you’ve never met, all over the world who you are immensely important to, and hope one day to meet you.

For around the first 3 months of your life, I was there, we lived in Cha Am, Thailand in a house, but you were taken away from me, to be probably exactly where you are now. I came to your current home by bus, by plane, and brought you back to your home at the time.

One night there was an argument, and you were taken again. The journey is far, over 1,000km by car and I know if I followed you with your grandmother, it would only be for you to be taken back again at a later date.

I want you to know there is another world for you to explore whenever you read this. Whether it be the United Kingdom where I’m from, or just something different to try in a big city. There are people from different places, who you share history with and you should know nobody has given up on you, and we love you as much as if you were here.

You are special and smart - That was obvious from the beginning. Your name, the time you were born, there are so many things about you that I would love to one day share with you. I am here.

Your Dad,
James Nevin
