THE failure by a mother to get justice for her 13-year-old son, who was allegedly sexually abused repeatedly in a tahfiz school, is a travesty of justice, “Court upholds decision to drop tahfiz sex case” (The Star, Oct 15, online at https://bit.ly/35CuaAu).
While we hurt with her, we cannot appreciate the anguish that she and her son have gone through and are still experiencing, especially with a system that has failed them.
It is important to question why the system has failed this child and other sexually abused children again and again. As children are voiceless and often ignored by the system, I hope we can advocate to improve the situation for them.
