KUALA LUMPUR: Parents, it’s time to listen up – your child may have something to tell you about online sexual abuse.

A 2017 survey run by Unicef polling of 800 girls and boys aged 14 to 17 showed that eight in 10 children in Malaysia identified their parents as the most trusted adult source for help if they were to experience any form of sexual abuse online.
