Underage girl blackmailed, ISF calls for increasing internet parental control
26-10-2020
The ISF Directorate- PR Department issued a statement on Saturday stating that the Cybercrime and Intellectual Property Bureau at the Judicial Police Unit has received a complaint from the mother of an underage girl (born in 2005) against a school mate threatening to publish "indecent" pictures of her daughter. The statement went on to say that, the assailant has admitted to his act in the presence of the juvenile officer, confessing that he blackmailed the girl to even the score with her thinking she was behind the deactivation of his Instagram account. Accordingly, the student was released after signing a pledge to not repeat his act and deleting the pictures on his phone as asked by the competent judiciary. The ISF renewed its appeal to parents to educate their children on the dangers of cyberbullying and report similar cases. (Al Diyar, October 25, 2020)
