SHAH ALAM - A mother has raised serious concerns over children’s exposure to unsuitable digital content after discovering that her young son had downloaded and played a mobile game she described as inappropriate and suggestive.
In a Facebook post, the mother, who uses the name Anna Talita Nafrizon said she was shocked to find her son playing a mobile game called Move People, which she stated contained content unsuitable for children.
She said that the game involves controlling male and female characters in various interactions, including directing the movements of their hands and feet.
“According to her, some scenes show a male character lifting a female character or a female character sitting on a male character, creating suggestive situations.
“I was really shocked because he tried to hide it,” she said, adding that her son quickly deleted the game when she noticed him playing it in the car.
“I didn’t say much; I just took him to the police station because he got caught in the car. My intention was to scare him, because lately he’s been spending a lot of time on his phone,” she added.
Anna also shared a video showing two policemen jokingly telling her son that he would have to spend the night in the station’s lock-up.
She thanked the personnel for handling the situation appropriately and with sensitivity.
“So far, my child has not touched the phone at all. Hopefully, this continues,” she added.
She said she regularly checks the digital devices used by her child but had not come across the game before, adding that it appeared to be a recent download and that her son did not fully understand the implications of the content.
The mother also stressed the importance of parental supervision when children use digital devices.
“Parents, please closely monitor your children. Don’t let them play games on phones on their own. Check what they are downloading and playing.
“Raising children these days is really challenging. May Allah protect our children,” she added.
Her post triggered an online discussion about the need for closer monitoring of children’s digital activities and the risks associated with unsupervised access to mobile games.
