CPU Calls for All schools to have mandatory Working with Children Checks after arrest of Philippine National for Rape.

A Philippne National employed at a school in Kandal has been arrested by Takhmao police after allegedly raping a 4-year-old girl in a bathroom at 10:15 am, May 9, 2019 in Takhmao, Kandal Province.

The suspect, a 27yr old, Filipino, works as a English teacher and was living in Toul Tum Pong, Khan Chamkar Morn, Phnom Penh.

CPU were notified and assisted the victim throughout her forensic examination and formal complaint prior to the male being arrested.

I implore all Educational facilities it is imperative that ALL staff interacting with children provided a current Working with Children or Police clearance from their home country or previous country of employment BEFORE they are accepted to your facility. Failing to ensure that your staff have the appropriate clearances in 2019 could well amount to negligence especially if that individual has a prior history of child abuse or sexual assault.

This could be implemented and enforced but there are some who may not have a previous record so other measures are needed. There should be systems where the environment is more closely monitored, where other staff are pro-actively checking on any possible inappropriate behavior, and CCTV is used effectively. Some simple safeguards could go a long way.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Does the average Khmer know about CPU?
Or is there an established procedure for police to contact them when the police are informed of this type of thing by a family?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

It's already negligent, but is it criminally negligent?

Looks like a group of "Concerned Friends" are cheerleading for this rock spider with a change.org petition for his release

(He got sentenced to 7 years on the 13th October 2021)

Interestingly none of the "concerned friends", or anybody else for that matter, have signed said petition
