Protecting Our Children
 
Recently, news reports frequently highlight crimes involving children as victims. This is a worrying issue for everyone, as children are precious gifts from God entrusted to parents to nurture into responsible individuals for their family and nation. In response to the rising number of such cases, Malaysia’s judiciary has set up the Sexual Crime Court for Children at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya. Therefore, it is crucial to identify effective ways to safeguard children and protect them from harm.

The primary responsibility in addressing this issue lies with parents. Many crimes happen because children lack the awareness to judge whether a situation is safe or dangerous. Parents must constantly supervise and pay attention to their children when together. Neglecting children, especially due to distractions like smartphones, should be avoided as offenders are becoming younger and more cunning in carrying out their harmful intentions. Parents should hold their children’s hands whenever outside the home and accompany them at all times. As the Malay proverb says, a one-year-old child is like a stalk of corn with only a drop of blood — meaning children are young, less aware, and without strong opinions, so parental guidance and vigilance are vital.

Another important measure to enhance children’s safety is teaching them self-defense. Today, various self-defense classes are available specifically for children. Learning these skills empowers children to protect themselves when they feel threatened or in danger. Beyond personal safety, children also get to appreciate traditional martial arts like silat and taekwondo, which promote discipline and mental strength. With proper and holistic instruction from qualified teachers, children become better prepared to face safety challenges.

Furthermore, mass media plays a significant role in raising public awareness about the increasing risks to children’s safety. Media outlets should regularly air campaigns and programs related to child protection, so society—especially parents and childcare providers—recognizes the urgency and takes proactive steps to prevent children from falling victim to crime. Media coverage also helps rally community support to find and rescue missing or kidnapped children.

In summary, ensuring children’s safety requires committed parenting, teaching self-defense, and active media involvement. By working together, we can create a safer environment where children can grow up protected and confident.
