  "account": "A Singapore mother posted on Instagram warning the public after her nine-year-old daughter was allegedly propositioned by a teenage boy at a stairwell in the Bukit Batok Central area on August 28. According to the mother, the incident occurred around 5:00 pm when a 14-year-old boy approached her daughter as she was walking home from tuition. The boy allegedly asked for the girl's name and said he wanted to \"do something fun\" with her. He then convinced her to go with him to a nearby block and allegedly exposed himself, showing inappropriate behavior. The boy also asked the girl to look up adult videos using her phone. The mother, alarmed by her daughter's distress, shared the terms the boy had searched on his device, noting that he did not have his own phone or wallet, raising concerns that the incident may have been pre-planned. A concerned resident intervened, eventually calling the police. The mother has since referred the matter to the authorities, urging parents with similar experiences to file a report.",
