Supervise your children!
Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Hatta Che Din advised the public to always ensure that children are under the supervision of a trusted guardian and to monitor their activities, especially when they are using social media.
“Report immediately to the police if you see a child alone or being harassed. Do not share footage of the incident on social media to protect the identity of the victim; instead, pass the information directly to the authorities,” he added.
