Last April, the #MeToo scandal was exposed among the Malaysian school campuses. It began with a student using the AI technology deepfaking indecent photos of another student, to another scandal of a student being sexually harassed by a teacher. These incidents gained public attention after they went viral on social media, and the police arrested the offender in response.     

In fact, the two scandals mentioned above were unrelated; they occurred at different times and under different circumstances. However, these two incidents have one thing in common that is, the victims stood out boldly and retold their stories. They are willing to be witnesses to prove their words. This one common thing became the spark for the bushfire, especially when it was revealed that, when the victims filed complaints at the initial stage, they did not receive protection, but instead were treated coldly with excuses such as the need to protect the school’s reputation, or give other people a chance, the worst was when the victim was being rebutted as the party at fault. How are we not feeling despondent and heartache when the victims were being double abused?    

Simultaneously, in ROC Taiwan, a 2023 case in which a child was abused to death by his nanny has just started trials in court. Little Kai Kai, who was then not even 2 years old, was placed under the care of his nanny when his father couldn’t be contacted and his mother was jailed in prison. The boy was living in an abusive environment for a long period. He was constantly being punished, standing naked for no reason, being fed with dirty water and left over food, taking cold showers during winter, and lastly, his body was full of old and new wounds and bruises. His predicament was only discovered when he was admitted to the hospital due to severe injuries, which ended in death. This incident aroused public anger; consequently, a series of examinations and discussions of children's protection mechanisms were carried out.          

Yes, protecting children is everybody’s responsibility. When a family becomes dysfunctional, does society have a safety net to take over? Do churches have standard prevention measures in child protection or standard protocols in dealing with it? When a child sends an SOS message out, will you be able to recognise that an alarming situation is happening, and know how to intervene? You might find it unbelievable, but it is true, our actual distance from an evil scheme is shorter than you think.  

Before this article is completed, another unfortunate incident happened, in which a little boy was stranded on a bus and suffocated to death. When the incident was being reviewed, they found that many steps could be taken to avoid such negligence from recurring. Suggested protocols such as instructing all bus drivers to run a thorough check, ensuring no child is left in the vehicle before leaving the vehicle. As for the teachers, they need to pay attention and check up on absent children.

7979 has taken the effort to set up a “Children’s Protection Committee” to raise public awareness by organising awareness seminars, which will cover different perspectives such as policy-making, national legal system, moral and ethical values.

今年四月，大马校园爆发 #MeToo 风波事件，先是有中学生以AI深伪同学的不雅照，继而有逾越师生界限的事件遭到揭发。这些事件在社媒网络的疯传下，引起华社广泛关注，更导致警方采取行动，将触犯法律者绳之以法。

原本AI深伪制图和师生性骚扰是两回事，年代和景况也不同。因为这两件事有一个共同点，导致受害者忿忿不平挺身而出，讲述自身经历，或者愿意作证以示所言非虚。这点燃燎原之火的共同点，是受害者投诉后，没有获得适当的保护，反而被校方以各种理由冷处理：维护校誉、于人机会，甚至转移罪责到受害者。如此的二度伤害，怎不叫人心寒心痛？

与此同时，在台湾进行开庭审讯，发生于2023年底“恶保姆虐童致死案”的悲剧。不到两岁的恺恺，因父失联母入狱，由寄养保姆照顾，惨遭长期的虐待，孩子无辜被脱衣罚站、喂食馊水厨余、冬天洗冷水澡等，身受多处创伤，最终送院不治。此事引起社会公愤，并掀起对检视儿童保护机制的讨论。

没错，保护儿童，人人有责。当一个家庭失能，社会有安全网可以接住吗？开办儿童主日学的教会，是否都有采取儿童保护的防范与应对政策？当一名儿童对外发出呼救讯号，您会意识到危机，并且晓得如何处理帮助他吗？真的，有时我们与罪恶的距离，比想象中靠近。

此文还未完稿，发生了一宗“男童留校车被闷死”事件。还原事发经过，许多可避免悲剧的环节，因疏忽大意而造成无可挽回的遗憾。建议幼儿园设下校巴司机必须确保没有孩童留在车上的巡查规定，老师即时关注跟进缺席孩童的作业程序。

7979特别设立“儿童保护委员会”，并透过举办醒觉教育讲座，从不同层面如拟订组织政策、国家法律要求、道德伦理价值等，提升公众对儿童保护课题的认识。倘若您有意在这方面更多参与，或寻求咨询及投报，欢迎接洽 013-791 7979 （WhatsApp 或通电话皆可）。
