Thai Holiday Scare: Toy Guns Almost Land Mom in Jail
20 Nov
Summary
- Mom faced arrest in Thailand over replica toy guns bought by sons.
- Airport security found toy Glocks in the children's suitcase.
- The mother signed a declaration confirming the weapons were toys.
A recent family holiday in Thailand nearly resulted in a serious international incident for television personality Bec Judd. Her sons, Tom and Darcy, aged eight, amassed a collection of toy guns from local markets during their trip. Upon attempting to depart from Thailand, Judd was summoned by airport security, who had discovered the replica firearms during a baggage X-ray.
Five armed security officers confronted Judd in a private room, demanding she open her children's suitcase, where two replica Glocks were found. The situation escalated when an officer fired a toy gun into the ground to verify its non-lethal nature. Judd was allowed to leave with the toy guns after signing a declaration confirming they were indeed replicas.
The family enjoyed a luxurious stay at Club Med Phuket, with accommodations costing up to $1,500 per night, enjoying various resort activities. This alarming airport encounter, however, overshadowed their otherwise enjoyable vacation, highlighting a significant oversight regarding local regulations concerning toy weapons.
