I have been asked to help post and viralize about #JusticeForBella from some friends of the industry and whilst I am equally as saddened and shocked and appalled by the unfortunate tragedy that has happened to this sweet child, I need to make it clear that in addition to the right to be protected from persecution and abuse, the 13 year-old also has self-dignity and the right to have her privacy protected.
Under the Children Act 2001, section 15 specifically prohibits any reporting or publication of any information about any child involved as a victim of any offence against the child - which includes photographs of the child.
This Child Act restricts media reporting and publication transmitted through any electronic medium, from revealing the name, address or educational institution, or includes any particulars calculated to lead to the identification of any child.
Any person who contravenes subsection (1) or (2) commits an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding RM10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to both.
My advocacy work will and has always been for the best interest of the Child first.
In seeking justice to prevail, please respect her rights to dignity and privacy at the same time.
Whilst we can mount pressure so justice is served accordingly, we must ensure we abide by the laws set by the country to protect the minors.
Thank you.
