Girl from Shanghai exposed this shit of a pedophile Amos Yee. (Trigger warning: may contain inappropriate sexual material)

If u read the description attached to this YouTube video u will find 2 links, it really exposes the extent of his predatory crimes:

Why the fuck is this sex predator Amos Yee still on bail, roaming free in Singapore? He is a DANGER to our children and women! Guys like him should be locked up for life. Worse still never learn lesson, treat US prison like vacation wah. If he's technically still doing this, why isnt the Singapore police revoking his bail? Also why grant him bail in the first place when he has a long history of breaching bail conditions both in Singapore and the US (Especially in the US for sex offences)???

And anyway, kudos to this Chinese girl for showing Amos Yee to the whole world (not that we dont know about him), but see that guys like Amos Yee deserves to rot in hell.

Bullying policies in schools seem to have serious gaps in terms of preemptive prevention, despite the recent moe announcement. Thoughts?

I'm sure y'all guys have heard that MOE is toughening their stance on school bullying from 2027 onwards. They have mandated caning for violent bullying and all that. Some may argue that it could be a deterrent, while many others simply question or oppose it. In my opinion, I strongly believe that implementing caning does not solve the other factors behind bullying or protect students sufficiently, as the punishment is dished out after the heinous acts have been committed. Caning to me just seems like a band aid on top of deeper structural problems. Now here's the thing, WHAT has the MOE done about the preemptive prevention of physical bullying incidents? I feel that they haven't addressed this part properly. Plus, the fact that some teachers can be biased towards certain students helps compound the entire bullying problem and makes victims feel unfairly treated and powerless to seek help.

So I might as well propose some solutions down here (I get it, there are some serious reforms needed):

  1. Install CCTV surveillance cameras in classrooms and everywhere throughout the school. BUT: Exclude restrooms, changing rooms and inside of teachers' staff rooms (where sensitive data is handled). Make sure that there is 100 percent CCTV coverage in non-private spaces, have multiple overlapping cameras filming the same area. This would make it nearly impossible for anybody to evade capture, which ENHANCES THE DETERRENT EFFECT.

  2. Ensure that CCTV footage is securely logged in tamper proof databases. Make sure that the footage is impossible to tamper with. When any physical bullying incident is reported, the school authorities should be LEGALLY MANDATED to investigate that relevant incident via CCTV footage, witness testimonies, and other relevant means available to the school. Now here's where the CCTV footage comes into play. Because CCTV footage is black and white, there is absolutely no way that anyone could deny anything or distort the truth. This will help cut through any witness or authority bias. In this way, justice can be meted out fairly.

  3. For highly persistent and violent bullying — where lesser measures such as counselling, warnings and parental involvement have failed — schools should be empowered to expel the offender. The thing is that expulsion removes the immediate threat from the victim's environment. The victim should not have to share the same space as that recalcitrant bully and live in fear every single day, compounding the trauma. In this way, victims can have space to recover from highly traumatising bullying experiences, via counselling sessions in school and psychiatric involvement if necessary.

  4. When there is a very strong, undeniable pattern that the bullying is repeatedly perpetrated by the same person (multiple incidents over time, PLUS CCTV footage showing clear evidence every single time) AND the victim is in serious distress (psychological harm, fear, anxiety), then the school should consider supporting the victim in applying for a protection order under POHA, but ONLY if the victim wants it (key point here). The order legally prohibits the bully from contacting the victim. If violated, criminal consequences apply. This closes any loopholes that bullies might exploit or see as leniency. The school should consider seriously offering to support the victims application of the protection order when the above stated conditions are undeniable. But the key here is, this supporting of victims protection order application should take place WHEN previous, more lenient measures have been exhausted and ineffective. Rather than waiting for caning or expulsion of the bully.

  5. Moreover, with CCTV in place (absolute 100 percent coverage throughout the school compound, anywhere outside of private spaces like toilets, as i proposed), teacher bias becomes irrelevant. The footage never ever lies. Teachers who consistently side with bullies can be identified and held accountable. In this way, victims no longer have to rely on a teacher's word or goodwill, so victims will feel more empowered to speak up against school bullying.

  6. Gender equality. This is the part that is highly debated among the public. Heres a problem: current policy allows caning only for boys. Girls who bully face no physical punishment. This is discrimination. If caning is a justified last resort for severe, persistent bullying, then it should apply regardless of gender. If it is too harsh for girls, then it is too harsh for boys. The MOE should do either of the following: extend caning to girls, OR replace caning entirely (meaning abolish caning in schools) with a gender-neutral alternative (preferably expulsion, or mandatory community service, depending on the context). The current policy is arbitrary, discriminatory, and based on outdated gender stereotypes.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying that all my ideas, if implemented on top of the new MOE policy for bullying, is perfect. But, all of these ideas if executed properly with consistent enforcement and adherence, can help reduce the loopholes that bad actors can potentially exploit.
