A family influencer has filed a police report after a threat was made against their 12-year-old son during a TikTok livestream.
The incident occurred during a livestream by @familee.sg, a Singapore-based family of four that creates content for more than 530,000 followers. During the session, a netizen allegedly threatened to beat up the family’s elder son at his new school.
The family is known for posting content about the education system, including recent videos documenting their son’s PSLE results and his posting to secondary school.
In a TikTok video posted on Dec 27, the family’s usual lighthearted tone turned sombre. The father, Alex Logan Lee, recounted the incident.
“But no one threatens my son and get [sic] away with it,” he said, adding that he has screenshots and video recordings of the interaction.
“Just because we post content online doesn’t [sic] give anyone the right to threaten or hurt us,” he said. “If you don’t like our content, simply swipe away.”
Mr Lee also urged viewers to be responsible for their words and actions online, stressing that making such threats is a crime.
Under the Protection from Harassment Act, an individual found guilty of using threatening, abusive, or insulting words against another could face a fine of up to $5,000, imprisonment of up to six months, or both.
