The Thai Government has opened a new website in an effort to protect youth from online sexual harassment, which has reportedly been on the rise, especially against the 11-15 age group.

 

Deputy Government Spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek said today (Wednesday) that the website is the result of a joint effort between the Office of the Secretary-General of the Prime Minister, the Royal Thai Police and a working committee, which was set up to deal with internet crimes against children.

 

Any youngster who is experiencing sexual harassment online can log into the website to file a complaint or to seek help and advice, she said.

11-15 age group

As a former teacher, I can definitely see ages 13 and higher being a problem.

 

11 and 12?  I guess I'm naïve, but I would put that group in a different category.   

 

Maybe at 11 and 12 they are technically sexually harassing without knowing that's what they are doing.  13 and up, they have a good idea they are doing something bad.

Have you got this the wrong way around?

 

Sure to be very, very effective; just like every other government website. Look forward to mass confusion.

Yes and no...

sometimes they are the victims, sometimes they are the perpetrators.
