In light of a story of molestation and maltreatment, a man also shared his painful experience, recalling how, as a young boy, he once reported to his mother that someone tried to molest him. Instead of getting help, he was scolded and punished for even knowing what sex meant. Sadly, a user responded jokingly with, “Wey u for kuku manage the molesting?” followed by laughing and heartbreak emojis. This kind of comment is extremely insensitive and should never be taken as a joke. Molestation—especially involving children—is a serious issue that causes long-term emotional and psychological trauma. Making light of such an experience not only disrespects survivors but also discourages others from speaking out. Every child deserves to be protected, heard, and believed. Society must treat conversations around molestation with the gravity it deserves, not with jokes that normalize or trivialize abuse.
