In a shocking case, police revealed that an 11-year-old boy had impregnated his 15-year-old cousin.
Kelantan police chief Yusoff Mamat said the incident, which was reported last week, led to the boy being detained to assist in the investigation and his cousin being handed over to the Welfare Department.
According to Sinar Harian, this incident was revealed when Yusoff (above) expressed concern over the increase in such cases in the state.
Yesterday, Bernama reported that 252 cases were reported in 2024 compared to 206 cases in 2023, an increase of 22.3 percent.
Family problems among root cause
Yusoff said among the factors contributing to this situation are family conflicts, parental neglect, underage love affairs, and easy accessibility of pornographic materials on mobile phones.
“I want to stress that police alone cannot tackle this issue effectively. It should involve all quarters, including educational institutions, the community, imams, village heads and parents,” he added.
Yusoff said there were also cases of teenage girls bringing boys home without objection from their parents.
“Many students also keep pornographic photos or videos on their handphones.
“Some even recorded themselves naked and sent the images to their newfound friends on social media,” he added.
