Thai minors claim sexual harassment

(TNA) - Nearly half the children of metropolitan Bangkok and outlying areas between the ages of 11 and 14 were sexually harassed or abused, according to the latest survey by the Assumption University Poll Research Centre (ABAC Poll).

Interviewing young men and women between ages 15 and 24, ABAC this week learned that two-thirds of the women and nearly one-third of the men said they were harassed or abused when they were children.

Conducted May 24-30 with 3,139 respondents aged 15-24 in Bangkok and its three surrounding provinces - Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan, the current poll found that 2 out of 3 - 66.2 per cent of girls experienced sexual harassment, both verbal and physical, including both rape and attempted rape.

Full story from the Bangkok Post here.

Some 57.4 per cent of the respondents attributed the sexual harassment to pornographic CDs and movies, 53.6 percent blamed the light penalties imposed against offenders, 51.8 said seductive clothing of actors, actresses and singers were to blame, and 49.3 said alcoholic drinks were the among major causes.

Could someone explain this to me, I have a fear of MATH :D but my basic understanding of it tells me that these numbers are whacked? How can you have 200+% for respondents? :o:D

Multiple choice answers maybe?

at a guess... Some of the people interviewed cited more than one reason

LOL, yeah after reading it again I concluded that it was just poorly written. :o

To which one of the following two options do you attribute the sexual harassment?

They really are the same question, but TIT.

I guess they'd better close down that multitude of porn shops that are stifling Thailand's moral goodness. My response is that the economy is lowering moral standards because a lot of people will do most anything to put food on the table and probably the lack of any enforcable code of law; one that's not superceded by the whole "I'm older, wealthier, and more connected than you thing.

Since the ABAC poll was done by a private Uni ... I don't see a gov't or a Bush :o

Does this include the "standard" Thai groping of young boys by Aunts and Uncles to see if "it has grown".
