Proactive steps: ACP Siti Kamsiah says they look at how to provide jobs for the mother and find sponsors for the victims. — SHAARI CHEMAT/The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: When a sexual abuser in the family is finally arrested, the story is far from over for the victims, whether they are the abuser’s spouse or children. They have to deal with the fallout.

This is why the police hope to kick off a pilot project with a non-governmental organisation (NGO) to establish a comprehensive system to help improve the lives of sexual abuse victims and their families, says Asst Comm Siti Kamsiah Hassan.
