Save the Children's Wong Shek-Hung Urges Parents Under Pressure to 'Pause and Think' Before Communicating, Warns Children of Privacy Risks When Posting Videos Online

Wong Shek-hung, Hong Kong programme director at Save the Children, said of an 11-year-old girl posting a video in which she was scolded by family members and 'called for help', and the arrest of 2 women on suspicion of child abuse, that child safety should be the primary consideration, and hoped children would understand that seeking help when facing difficulties is a brave act and that they should not blame themselves. She warned that posting videos online may carry privacy risks, suggested reporting to the police for help, and encouraged parents under pressure to first 'pause and think' and communicate positively once calm.
