Parents are giving their kids phones without monitoring or managing their kids’ use or access to the internet. A nontrivial number of boys wish to try out some of what they see after watching pornography and use even younger girls who are vulnerable to these situations. This creates situations where boys age 12 - 16 molest even younger girls, often but not always relatives.
This is not unique to Malaysia. One of my friends is a trauma and rape therapist who has told me these situations are happening in every community and some of the girls do chose (choice doesn’t seem like a good word, given their age) to carry the baby to full term. More often the girls patents do decide on an abortion due to a range of concerns from higher risks of such pregnancies to the social stigma that comes from these situations.
Still many of the girls being molested in these situations are too young to become pregnant with some of the girls being infants or toddlers. This whole thing makes me very sad. We need to be more vigilant because so much of this abuse goes unreported or undiscovered.
