The recent incident in Huvarafushi where a tuition teacher molested a 14-year-old boy highlights how often child abusers take advantage of their position as teachers, which automatically inspires trust especially if they teach certain respected subjects. But in this particular case the accused is a math teacher.
Mohamed Idrees, Saamaraage, Huvarafushi, allegedly took the 14 year old to his tuition center and lured him with porn videos before molesting him. According to the boy's family Mohamed had done this on four separate occasions.
Interestingly, this case might never have seen the light of the day if not for a protest march organized by Huvarafushi youth following another case of child abuse involving Hussein Naseer, a 21-year old van driver, who allegedly molested an 8-year old boy. After the march, the 14-year old got the courage to come out and say, "Sir also did it to me."

In any society where normal sexual desires are repressed there will be sexual abuse. Sex between consenting adults must be decrminalized to avoid child abuse.
Unless strict punishement is given child abuse will not stop. No need talking about it. We need action.
.. poverty is the fundamental issue.
but unfortunately there is no intention to address poverty.. if so Parliamenet would pass a tax bill.
Drugs and and abuse stems from poverty and hopelessness. Strange everyone speaks of freedom and democracy but not a wealth redistribution.
This is a sick society. What else do you expect?
Suppression of natural human desires will lead to unnatural acts. I call upon Sheikh Bari to deliver a sermon next Friday allowing free sex between consenting adults is ok.
