It also reveals that 89 pct of children between 13 and 17 have been victims of online grooming.
An alarming survey conducted by Malaysians Against Pornography on 2018 revealed that 80 percent of children aged 10 to 17 years have watched pornography intentionally.MAP chairperson Shamsuriani Md Jamal said in combating both issues, parents are advised to increase their internet literacy as preventing children from using the net was not the best way to overcome the problem.
"In the meantime parents need to educate their children not to browse any pop out windows while on the internet especially if the pop outs involve nudity and indecent acts," she toldAccording to her, MAP is offering free online courses on their website for parents who want to improve their internet literacy.
"This is a very shocking data because children are not supposed to be exposed to pornography, especially online grooming. "Parents must also teach children not to share any personal information on the internet at any time and not to accept invitations to meet people they know through social media sites," she said.
