Rape cases rising
LINGAYEN – Cases of rape, acts of lasciviousness and child abuse are on the rise anew in Pangasinan, according to a report of the Police Community Relations Office.
The report signed by Supt. Ricardo Tamayo showed six of these cases being recorded last Wednesday in various parts of Pangasinan.
These incidents happened in Manaoag, Agno, San Manuel, Tayug and San Quintin towns.
All of the victims were minor girls, the youngest at five years old. The others were aged 11, 15 and two of them were 17.
The youngest of the victims was molested by a 14-year old boy who inserted his finger in the girl’s private part.
One of the teenaged victims was sexually abused by her own father while another victim was raped by her uncle.
The police said another teenage victim was raped twice by her sister’s live-in partner inside her room, while the other victim was embraced and kissed several times on her lips against her will by her suitor, a 17-year old boy.
All these cases were coursed through the Women and Children Complaints Desk in the concerned municipal police stations which are now also investigating these for the filing of corresponding complaints against the suspects.

Something has to be done about preventing this malicious act towards our women and children. The Board of Education and the community has to do something to educate children that touching another person's private parts is a crime and it is punishable by law. The students should also be encouraged to report anyone, even a member of their families to the authorities immediately. Children should be assured of their safety once they report any sex abuse commited to them at the very first time. Teachers should be trained in spotting a child abuser or a victim. A victim should be given justice. Someone has to protect the victims.
