PETALING JAYA: Many doctors and healthcare providers don’t come forward to lodge police reports when they suspect child sexual abuse, but it is not fear holding them back, says a senior paediatrician.
Consultant paediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist Dr Thiyagar Nadarajaw said generally, it is not easy to detect child abuse when the information is not volunteered by the parents or the children themselves, especially if the children appear physically healthy.
