Boy, 14, allegedly approached girl, 9, at Bukit Batok & used her phone to search for explicit content
He allegedly asked her if she wanted to "do something fun".
A 14-year-old boy is accused of approaching a nine-year-old girl in Bukit Batok and exhibiting sexually inappropriate behavior towards her. According to the girl's mother, the incident occurred around 5pm on August 28 at Bukit Batok. The mother reported that her daughter was walking home alone after attending tuition when the boy approached her.
The boy, dressed in basketball attire, allegedly asked for the girl's name and inquired if she wanted to "do something fun." He then persuaded the girl to follow him to a nearby housing block, where he led her up a staircase. The mother alleged that the boy subsequently displayed sexually inappropriate behavior and requested to use the girl's phone to search for sexually explicit videos. A search of the phone's Google history revealed searches for pornographic content.
Additionally, the mother claimed that the boy did not possess his own phone or wallet at the time. A resident, collecting a parcel outside his home, noticed the situation and intervened, subsequently calling the police. The resident also reported that his two nieces, aged 10 and 9, had reportedly faced similar incidents at a nearby playground a few days prior. One of the nieces managed to run home safely, while the other identified the same boy during a video call.
In response to inquiries from Mothership, the police confirmed that a report was filed and that investigations are currently underway.
