SENATOR Risa Hontiveros called on the anti-cybercrime group of the Philippine National Police to look into the pages of an individual posting videos about child grooming.
The lawmaker on Thursday raised the alarm on the YouTube channel “Usapang Diskarte” and its counterpart Facebook page with the same handle (@UsapangDiskarte) following posts from concerned Filipinos.
“@facebook, @YouTube, @PNPpio Anti-cybercrime group, please have a look. The people behind these accounts should be brought to justice,” Hontiveros tweeted, tagging the accounts of the PNP, Facebook and YouTube.
“To my followers, please keep reporting the Usapang Diskarte page & channel,” she added.
Hontiveros also urged the executive branch to sign the Anti-Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) Bill she has sponsored and filed in the 18th Congress before.
“These horrifying photos tell us what we already knew: that an Anti-Online Sexual Abuse & Exploitation of Children law is absolutely and urgently needed,” she said in another tweet.
“I call on the executive to sign the Anti-OSAEC law now. Our children need the full power & protection of this measure,” the senator added.
She accompanied her post with screenshots initially posted by a Twitter user which featured some videos and comments from the said channel.
