Officials say new disciplinary measures will help address the problem of juvenile delinquency.
FOLLOWING a directive issued last month by Prime Minister Hun Sen, the government has launched a crackdown on juvenile delinquency that will target "spoiled youngsters" in a bid to maintain social order, an Interior Ministry official said Sunday.
According to a list of disciplinary measures to be posted in towns across the country, young people will be more closely monitored and could face more serious charges if caught engaging in crimes.
"We have just begun to gradually implement the disciplinary measures after the prime minister called for action against spoiled youngsters,"
Ministry of Interior spokesman Khieu Sopheak told the Post Sunday, referring to a directive on June 24 ordering ministries and law enforcement officials to crack down on "gangster activity".
'Big brothers' disciplined
"We see that nowadays young people's acts are sometimes entangled with crime and the destruction of culture and tradition," Khieu Sopheak said.
"If we do not have any measures to cope with [young people], our society will definitely become chaotic, and children of the next generation will imitate such a lack of discipline."
Khieu Sopheak said most of the young people that the ministry has picked up so far were "big brothers" associated with criminal gangs.
"In the past, we have gathered thousands of young people who were acting immorally and causing trouble to society. Having gone through rehabilitation, some young people are sent back to their parents.... However, in some serious cases, they are sent to the court," he said.
The new disciplinary measures are being tested in pilot programmes in the country's more densely populated areas, though Khieu Sopheak said it would likely be taken to small villages.
"We thought delinquency only happened in the cities, but now this culture of immorality has become widespread."
Him Yun, vice president of the Khmer Youth Association, told the Post Sunday that he welcomed measures to control delinquency, but he warned authorities not to use the directive as a front for their own bullying.
"While we approve measures to cope with problematic youngsters, local authorities should implement measures effectively," Him Yun said.

One eyed hyena should start with his own children.
But my children had killed far less than Pol Pot!
i think it is typical of rich, spoiled kids all over asia. they seem to think that because their parents are rich or held top post that they can do whatever they like without regards to the law and others' rights, etc... this phenomenon is not unique to cambodia alone, really. this is like the first time i heard official is trying to do something about it. it's been going like this even going back before the KR era. kids of official official or rich people think they are god or something, meaning they are above the law in many ways. i think it should change, starting this era so future will be different. it's not something new, really, it's been like this since during the 1960s according to my parents. it ought to stop with new law to punish these unruly people, no matter who they are related to and so on! reform in all fields, really!
Khmer kids in srok Khmer ain't worse than Khmer kids abroad. There are more Khmer kids that turn to gang banging overseas than in srok. Tiny Rascals, the Asian boyz, etc... are all Cambodian gangs.
Khmer in the US never admit that social problem in their community but when their relatives who are involved in gangs and crimes get deported, they get to become so nice and innocent. You know you did something to deserve this. They don't lock you up and deport you if you didn't do anything seriously illegal.
Most of people commited crimes and robbery/rape are son or newphew of high ranking officials throughout cambodia, these kids don't give a shit about laws enforcement at all, they even threaten to harms policeman too! this is part of cambodia corruptions also, because they can pay off the cops and get away from their crimes, our government officials and laws enforcement must get rid of these BONG TOUCH BONG THOM!! these kids created so much problems in cambodia society everday...
If they got so much of money already, and why they still robbs and kills people?
These kids don't have any thing better to do beside gambling and drugs, cambodian laws enforcement must step up and put these punkass away! no matter who they are! don't care if they are! just lock them up, if you commited crimes and you must do time for your crimes...LAW IS LAW!
Just lock them up like other if they mess up with laws! if you broke the laws, you ass will be punish just like other, don't care if you are son or daughter of KING of this EARTH...yep! those high ranking officials must teach their child to obey the laws!!
Cambodia laws enforcement must teach these kids a lesson! do not care if they are son or daughter of STAR GENEARAL or MOON GENEARAL!
Hun Sen is the khmrouge killer,and still a Cambodian killer .
Cambodia face big problems with these kids that belong to High drunken officials in cambodia, because they do not scared the police and laws enforcement these day, they can do whatever they wanted, our society is destroying by thesed kids, they also kept distributed porns and illegal drugs to kids on the street and rural area...
It's easy to commited crimes and used illegal drugs in cambodia, those people a lot of time buying police out...
When a police officer earn less then a minimum wage, there bound to be corruptions and favoritism towards the kid with ties to high ranking official. Who dare to prosecute, much less arrest these kids? No one! Pray for a career change if you attempt to arrest these.....untouchable brat.
A police officers, juges, prosecutors/defense lawyers all have to answer to one person.... Huynh Sen.
It's a useless effort. I don't how they will encforce this. This country is.....after all, ruled by one man.
Let wait and see how long it last of this order!!!!
This is the first time that I found Ki-members providing many constructive comments and critic.. if everyday, they do like this on every news, I hope it would help Cambodia country, rather than provide BS comment focusing on only Sam Dach Hun Sen...
Thank all commentators and highly appreciated
Khmer
Let's not blamed the kids for their failures to act in a normal society. We should focus on the parents who is the sole responsibility in up-rooting them. Kids only act this way because their parents exposed them to the luxury and respect that their accustom to.
Of course, these kids with excessive allowance that they get from mom/dad doesn't have a daily struggle to find their next meal. Their only problem is, finding a place to hang out, do drugs and assimilate their father's figure.
Huynh Sen is known to implement new rules by word of mouth. Does people take this serious from a man who likes
to bark like a mad dog? What step are they taking to enforce this?
Cambodia, as the world know it.... is a lawless country that governed by wealthy-powerful scum bag.
Prime Minister Hun Sen is governing the country in accordance with the rule of law with guiding principle in accordance.

Ah PPU, you're support CPP Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime who is killing innocent Khmer peoples, do me a favor don't ever tell anyone that you are Khmer, because you make Khmer peoples look bad.
12:03 PM
The only people that make Khmer people bad is you because you are a political tool that is blinded to reality. Have your sorry ass been to Cambodia recently? Obviously many of your oversea junks think it's so bad there in your mind while many other Khmer overseas think differently. Many of my uncles are settling back in Cambodia in a few years when they retire. Who in their right mind would go there if it is so bad and now that they are in the land of the free? Think with your head, not with what your poorly informed political friends. I just laugh when I hear some of these Khmeroverseas who think Cambodia is bad like this and that and when you ask them, nope they have never been back lol. The people that don't have political agenda in their mind could easily see the progress Cambodia has achieved while the political tools is blinded to the progress and only see the flaws. If you want to live your life picking out the flaws instead of admitting the true reality, be my guest.
PPU you must be one of the CPP offsprings. spend your time all day trying to justify you and the one eyed clique existance.You probably got sent abroad by your corrupt dad , got an education but probably hang out in the streets.
I used to see and heard my doctor and engineer friends said no where else better than Srok khmer their salary enough to make their lives easy in French now I see some comments again and exactly the same the comment above,now those friends that I mentioned they left me to the peaceful place in 1976 ready sad and sad ,they confused with the Vietnam?
you must forget your self that you are waiting to be a death meat once again if you are not wake up and still embrace vietnam as your partner or boss.
laugh now and not too soon you'll cry but,is it too late ?
12:35,
Let me guess, your uncle is either old, alone and maybe both.
He's there trying to stretch his US dollars by having a 24/7 maid(s) and young wife to take care for him? Lol
Wake up dude! Your old ass uncle is a pervert.
Pi Anh: PPU

Your uncles and the others are all or will be retired people coming to cambodia for the low cost of living. What they can't afford overseas, they can buy a bucketful in cambodia.I don't think they give a shit about the political situation nor the plight of the poor in cambodia.
When we abroad critisize; its for the general population ie. 95 percent of the population that live in poverty and have no hope of bettering their lives if they are not born inside an elite :rich and corrupt class. So you think before you open your mouth. You go to cambodia with your parent'smoney, they feed you there, you visit with their money. Let me see you trying to make a living there as a poor. You will start cursing those corrupt officials.You will probably end up in the gutter begging.
12:35
They will come to exploit the poor classes.They will behave exactly as the corrup officials. Wake up kid , you still have a lot to learn in life.

12:35 pm,
Your uncle is one of those old bastards that went back to Srok Khmer only to molest young girl/boy.
I've witness an (Oversea) old man treat a waitress like slave. He got told by me and had his feeling hurt.
Like 1:37 said; they went back to exploit and act like they belong with the social rich class. In fact, your uncle is probably collecting Social Security Income.
These potatoes diggers never come to realize that slavery still exist in America, where these well-oiled company use them like slaves and sending them picking fruits and dig potatoes for a miniscule fraction of the wage that they would otherwise get paid with plausible company. This is not a proufound life-changing experience, particularly for these potatoes diggers and fruit pickers.
PPU
Ah PPU, so you are the one that likes to call peoples in America potato diggers.
Ah PPU aka Ah Anthony, I bet you are also potato digger.
PPU, better picking potatoes than licking one eyed hyena ass.
To 12:35 PM
It's seem like you know nothing about the killing that goes on in Cambodia.
You needs to read comments by 12:01 PM.
I know odf a retired expat who buys virgins for 1500 dollars. the going price from what read in a NGO report for rich local cambodians is 800 dollars. as for the corrupt hyena and his dogs they just kidnap and rape at will. Remember the offsprings of Caucescu and Sadam Hussain? Where did they end up: lynched by a mob.
PPU is the result of this rape.
3:54 PM
You and your clans like to maliciously and incessantly launch political lynching and witch hunt for those who expressed their views or opinions against your ideological and philosophical views.
Pi Anh: PPU
Are you feeling victimised PPU? Or is your guilt and shame too heavy to shoulder?
6:32 PM
Is it onus you're implying? Of course, day-to-day life is onerous task for every person who needs air to breathe--suffice to say.
No burden is too heavy for me to saddle.
