Over 80% of child sexual abuse cases involve known suspects - Police
KUALA LUMPUR: Landskap ancaman terhadap kanak-kanak di negara ini semakin membimbangkan, apabila ia berubah secara drastik dengan lebih 80 peratus kes jenayah seksual yang dikesan, melibatkan suspek yang dikenali atau orang dipercayai mangsa. Ketua Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Siasatan Jenayah Seksual, Wanita dan Kanak-Kanak (D11) Bukit Aman, Senior Asisten Komisioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan berkata ancaman utama kini bukan lagi datang daripada individu tidak dikenali sebaliknya da
Malaysian police report a concerning shift in child sexual abuse cases, with over 80% now involving perpetrators known to the victim. Senior Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan stated that the primary threat now comes from individuals within the child's close circle, such as family members, teachers, and caregivers, rather than strangers. This necessitates a change in public perception from fearing unknown individuals to recognizing risks posed by trusted figures. The trend is exemplified by a case involving a teacher allegedly abusing primary school students. Police emphasize the urgent need for enhanced prevention measures and vigilance from parents, guardians, and educational institutions. Perpetrators often exploit the trust and continuous access granted to them, leading to prolonged abuse and multiple victims. The issue is further complicated when parents withdraw police reports to 'protect' the victim, inadvertently emboldening offenders.
This revelation highlights a critical vulnerability in child protection, indicating that the most significant threats often originate from within the victim's trusted environment, requiring a reevaluation of safety strategies.
