In today's world, young women face many challenges when trying to be independent, especially when they take on jobs such as babysitting. One of the biggest challenges they face is the risk of harassment from men, including fathers who are supposed to be responsible and protect their children and babysitters.
Recently, a man faced heavy criticism from netizens for his inappropriate behaviour towards babysitters. He uploaded several photos and personal information of the young women on Facebook for sexual purposes.
Screenshots from Facebook show the man sharing his experience of finding a babysitter based on his wife's request. However, his post was deemed by netizens as sexual harassment of female babysitters on the platform. As he revealed his conversations with one of the babysitters he contacted, though it was just getting to know each other, it seemed like he was basing his decision on his sexual urges.
The app then had a pop-up that offered both potential babysitter and customer to chat freely for 15 minutes based on the job, but as he posted the screenshot of the conversation, he made a comment that suggested he was too weak to proceed with the video call, which was clearly inappropriate.
Some comments even took it as a joke, despite the fact that it was way out of line.
Kesian perempuan muda zaman sekarang. Nak berdikari pun susah. Jadi pengasuh muda berisiko dapat gangguan dari lelaki miang bergelar ayah.

Semua benda nak dibuat lawak. Gambar asal kat post tak hide muka pengasuh ni langsung. Kalau itu anak ko macam mana ya? pic.twitter.com/whA9E3M7vn
A woman who exposed the man's behaviour on Twitter condemned the father's actions. She also criticized some netizens who made fun of the situation and turned it into a joke.
Ada yang kata upload gambar pengasuh muda tu untuk dilawak komen oleh lelaki miang - tu benda kecoh. Pastikan ni bukan calon suami korang ya. pic.twitter.com/aupoj7PWvG

Memandangkan Amm Alohaa bangga menjadi jantan gatal puki babysitter, saya berdoa agar Isaac tidak membesar menjadi jantan gatal puki dan tidak menjadi penjual SK Magic seperti ayahnya. Amen.

just for joking, alaa gurau sikit je, sembang lah kau kitorang gurau je bukan serius pun.
Kalau kitorang pakat lempang korang 100x pun kitorang GURAU!
Many netizens also condemned the man's actions, not only for his inappropriate comments but also for exposing the privacy of young babysitters who were using an application to find jobs. This behaviour is taken seriously as it can be dangerous for the babysitters.
Elok2 babysitters dpt job, terus lepas ni sendu takda jobs sebab para isteri paranoid nak hire (takut suami2 menggatal dgn babysitters). Walhal mereka ikhlas mencari rezeki dan ikhlas babysit budak

In conclusion, the behaviour of this perverted dad is unacceptable and shows a complete disregard for the safety and privacy of young women. We should always speak up against such misconduct and support those affected by it.
At the time of writing this article, it is known that the father in question has taken down the Facebook post, most probably due to the high level of criticism he received.
