PETALING JAYA: Parents and guardians must be more responsible when it comes to the welfare of their children, including monitoring their activities, especially late at night.
Lawyer Nor Zabetha Muhammad Nor said this was paramount when it comes to the safety of these minors, adding that any such neglect should be considered an offence under the Child Act 2001.
“As long as they are under 18, then it is the responsibility of the parents or guardian, adoptive families or grandparents,” she told FMT.
