Campaign for Children’s Safety!

Well, this blog entry isn’t official or connected with the government. For now, I’m publishing this through the internet.

This is concerning children’s safety, not just here in Davao City but around the world.

I fear, that a growing number of children are being sexually abused, yes CHILDREN not little girls only. At the present, these cold blooded people don’t look into sexual preferences. So, I dread to inform you, that a pedophile or may be- pedophiles are unleashing there terror here in our city. A pedophile is an adult who has sexual desire for children or who has committed the crime of sex with a child.

Recently, a young boy was finally found after being lost for a week. His mother was so worried about him. People who knew about his disappearance thought that maybe he was kidnapped by a syndicate and was sold for labor. But then, when this boy told his mother what happened to him, the mother cried for the worst had happened to his son.

His mother was attending their little ‘sari-sari’ store while this 10 year old boy was playing across the street. A man approached him and asked, “Dong, asa diri ang mall?” (Hey kid, where’s the mall around here?) “Straight lang dira…” (Straight ahead.) The boy answered while pointing towards the direction going to the mall. “Ubani daw ko dong beh, wala jud ko katuod.” (Can you take me there? I really don’t know the way.) Insisted the stranger. Against the world famous parent to child rule- “DON’T TALK TO STRANGERS.” Being the kid that he is, he wanted to help this lost person, or so it seems. And yes, he did. From the city proper, this man took him to Mintal, Calinan, far from the city. There he endured painful and multiple sexual abuse. He then found out that this man was, as he said “bayot”, or gay. After a week, he was released and this man took him to a terminal and was finally sent back to the city, back to the place across the street.

Unfortunately, when they returned to the house where in this boy was kept in and molested, the man was already gone. At the moment, the police are doing there best to trace this cruel beast.

This is just one of many devastating realities that children as well as there parents are facing. This young boy is not the first victim of this callous transgression. But if we become vigilant and alert concerning this vicious crime, he could be the last. As for us, warn your children about these strangers who wish us ill. None of us are safe. But with proper security measures we can put a stop to this crime.

Let’s go hand in hand to protect our children from harm!

Lives of innocent children are at stake, there future, our future!

Friends, I ask you to take the time to help me spread this very important news to all.

*Please don’t misunderstand me; this notice isn’t against the third sex or anything. This is a warning concerning children.

Thanks.
