about the kiddie porn boy

So we've all read about him.

I don't wish to comment on his issues - apparently he has a LOT of issues, downloading and saving thousands of extremely disturbing porn-related images and videos about children.. not even sure how to comprehend this.

(Having a baby just makes it even more difficult.)

But.. rather than focusing on that, I wish Malaysians would focus more on what's happening here, in Malaysia.



Don't you realize that, probably, there are more people like him around us? The fact that he's smart, a Mara scholar, Maths genius - he has a lot of things going for him, as do most of us the youngsters here in Malaysia. (I can call myself a youngster ahem.) Yet he has this other side of him, which buried inside probably for years now, and only when the police in UK detected his account did he get caught.

(Which genius creates this sort of account using his real name, btw. -_-")

The pedophile boy, he did get convicted alright. Maybe we should let him and the authorities deal with his issues, and us to focus on the ones not convicted..yet.

Do you think the same would happen, if Malaysian police were to take the same action in this country, as were the UK authorities?

Or rather, if we do have the capability to trace these cases - would there be more like him?

I'm sure you've heard cases when porn videos being made among the mat rempits, and how the statistic shows the highest port viewers originating from the east states, and how easy these porn images and videos being shared on mobile phones. And now, we have this trend where Whatsapp became a norm, a Whatsapp group became a norm and hence this photo sharing is just at the tip of our fingers.

You get the idea. Sometimes I wonder what do the people who share these kind of images and videos feel; about their family, their feelings towards God and just religion in general.

Putting religion aside, just his take on morality in general. Did he not think about his parents, or wife, or kids if they somehow discovered his habit? If someday they found these kind of pictures saved in his phone, what do they feel?

I always think that if there's something you're so afraid of your parents finding out, there must be something wrong about it. It can't be right. And if it makes you feel ashamed of it, then it's obviously wrong.

It's just..sad.

I know cases like this. And I just wish that more actions could be taken to fix these, hopefully, in the light of the kiddie porn boy here. As for him, let's pray God will give mercy, hidayah and strength for him to continue life in the humblest, straight path possible and eventually fix his life, though I doubt people would forgive him or forget his name easily.

May God bless his family to go through this.
