Australian paedophiles traveling to Indonesia, and Bali in particular, was partly covered in yesterday’s posting, along with a case for Australian authorities to take the situation more seriously, at least from the viewpoint of international relations. It is a worthy topic for the Royal Commission.
Something of the local attitude by the Balinese can be seen in the following reader comment in the Bali Times by “marahcewek”: “totally agree with confiscating and preventing overseas travel for these perverted bastards!!! These poor children are so vulnerable and these sickos know it…Australian Government DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!”
It is not only in Indonesia that Western paedophiles are causing a negative attitude by the locals. When hearing a case against a U.K. citizen for abusing local boys, Bombay High Court judge, Justice Radhakrishnan commented to his lawyers, “Tell your clients that we are no more their colony.” In Uganda, commentators have slammed “the ready acceptance of ‘NGOs’ whose credentials go unchecked” for being “a major contributor” to their paedophile problem. Sri Lanka has similarly been critical of our “tourists” who indefinitely extend their visas.
In Cambodia, Action Pour Les Enfants director, Seila Samleang, notes that “The targeting of Cambodian children by Western tourists is no longer as obvious as in previous years. Abusers know too well where to hide and how to secure their abusive behaviour. At a glance, they look like a group of decent people who truly care about the plight of the local children.”
