Key to Avoid Child Kidnapping

"Better Be Safe Than Sorry"

It doesn't take a lot of our time and it doesn't cost us much to be safe. But more often than not, we take things for granted and we choose to be sorry than safe.

Think about this: -

1. Should we leave our children in the car, locked, by themselves without adult supervision just because it trouble us to bring them with us?

2. Should we ask our children to go to the shop on their own without being accompanied by adult just because we choose not to go on our own?

3. Should we let our child to go to the playground by themselves and play without adult supervision just because we want to stay at home and feel kinda boring to be at the playground?

4. Should we let our children to play by the roadside on their own just because we want to be seen as a "cool" parents that gives freedom to our children?

5. Should we leave our children with someone whom we know for a very short period of time other than maid and babysitter just because we thought it would be safe to do so?

Think of whether we have done any one or more of the above. If the answer is yes to any of the questions above, DO NOT ever think that we did the right thing. We were just lucky that nothing bad happened.

Remember this! If we do not bother about our children's safety, at least think of Section 31(1) of the Child Protection Act 2001 that provides fine of up to RM20000 or imprisonment of up to 10 years or both to those who has the responsibility over child but found to have abused, neglected, abandoned or exposed the child in a manner likely to cause him physical or emotional injury or caused or permitted him to be so abused, neglected, abandoned or exposed or sexually abused the child or caused or permitted him to be so abused.
