: Exposure to pornographic material has been singled out as the main cause of sexual abuse among children, and adults – including parents – are mostly to blame, said senior consultant paediatrician Datuk Dr Amar Singh.
Investigations revealed the boy had seen his parents engaging in sexual activity and he was only emulating them.He was commenting on a report of a primary six pupil raping a four-year-old girl who was under the care of the 12-year-old boy’s mother, who was a babysitter at a nursery in Batu Gajah, Perak.
She said the law requires any nursery with more than four children under its care to register with her ministry.The boy later said he was influenced by pornographic material that he had watched online. Paediatric consultant at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital Dr Irene Cheah said instead of looking for a suitable punishment for the boy, steps must be taken to find out what contributed to his behaviour.
