Now we can ask the question: Why did this coach bring these kids so deep into these very dangerous caves? Was he trying to kill them all? Was he suicidal? Was he abusive, and was trying to get rid of the evidence?

Oh, SERIOUSLY? Get a grip.
It was a traditional thing for them to go into the cave. They couldn’t have known the weather was going to trap them in there. To me, the coach is a hero - he kept them alive, safe and sane until help came for them, then took responsibility for leading them there in the first place. And YOU think he’s some kind of child molester or would-be murderer!
Read today that the coach refused food for the kids sake....he ended up weaker than all the kids. He’s a hero to the parents who recognize and know him as well as to the Thai people.
Were it not for the coach taking the kids to dry ground,(most could not swim) showing them how to conserve oxygen by meditation and remaining calm....having them drink water from the cave walls rather than the toxic muddy waters we could easily have otherwise been reading of 13 dead bodies being recovered.
I understand that now. I only knew the basics of this unfolding story. I know more now.
