A Malaysian boy aged six has been accused of raping his five-year-old cousin in a case believed to be the one of the first of its kind in the world. Doctors discovered she had been sexually penetrated after a medical check-up - and despite initial scepticism a consultant urologist at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital said it was possible for a child that young to have an erection.
The extraordinary case came to light after the children's grandmother found them naked and playing 'mothers and fathers' at the family home in the town of Pendang, Kedah - a rural area covered with paddy fields. The doctor who examined the girl and found a minor tear in the hymen alerted the Malacca Action Group for Parents in Education. Chairman Mak Chee Hin said: 'It is shocking that young children are capable of such acts. Blame should be levelled at the adults who do not give guidance and care to the children.' This case, he added, could have happened due to exposure to pornographic materials. 'It could be due to witnessing an adult performing an intimate act or watching pornographic videos, said the urologist. “Even if the child had an erection, it would have only lasted for a while and not to the extent of penetration. He added that a full medical report would determine whether the six year old boy is the youngest predator in the country. I remember mommy and daddy play when i was little, we would just cook sand and hibiscus leaf but getting to this point......no. As parents we have the unique responsibility to educate our kids.
