Call for review of laws to prevent child abuse


PUTRAJAYA: Several existing legal provisions are being reviewed to introduce clearer and stronger obligations for parents and guardians to prevent abuse and sexual assault on children, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (pic).

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) said the move would include proposing amendments to make it mandatory for parents and guardians to monitor their children’s online activities, as well as to participate in digital safety awareness and education programmes actively.
