Dear Editor, IT saddens me to read about 11-year-old Muhammad Asmawi Jalaludin Mohd, who is believed to have been kid napped while playing at a playground near his house last week.

After the the cases of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin and Sharlinie Mohd Nashar, are these criminals targeting boys now? What are their intentions?

I believe the abductors are mentally ill as it seems that they enjoy seeing other people suffer. They do not care about the feel ings of the children’s parents and families.

My sympathy goes to Asmawi’s mother. No mother would want their children to be abducted.

We must co-operate with police to ensure that such incidents will not recur.

We cannot rely on the police alone as our safety is also our responsibility.

The government should do something to attract more people to join the force.

I believe by having more po licemen, we can put a stop to the rising crime index.

I hope that Asmawi’s abductor will return him to his mother.
