A police report has been lodged against a massage parlour in Singapore after a 16-year-old boy allegedly spent S$1,000 there and had "special" services rendered.
The police report was made by the male youth's parents who claimed that the masseuse had seduced their son, resulting in him giving his money to the business as he could not resist the temptation.
Masseuse allegedly contacted boy
The boy's father, surnamed Chen (transliteration), told Shin Min Daily News that his son had accidentally come into contact with the masseuse a few days ago.
He claimed his son eventually accepted "special" services as he was inexperienced with the ways of the world.
This left the parents furious.
The massage parlour is located at Block 101 Towner Road in Boon Keng.
What happened
Chen said his son was in the vicinity playing sports when he received a WeChat app request from a stranger.
The boy apparently accepted it immediately.
The person who contacted the boy allegedly claimed to be a masseuse, said the shop was nearby, and could provide services.
The content of the conversation soon became more explicit, as it apparently involved the mentions of sexual services and prices.
The father said: "My son is still in his developmental stage and couldn't resist temptation. He went to the massage parlour that day and got hooked."
Pocket money used up
The boy then became a regular patron and visited the massage parlour several times and apparently received sexual services.
His visits to the parlour came to light when his S$500 monthly allowance was used up.
Chen said his son approached him last week for more pocket money, which puzzled the father.
Chen then asked his wife if she had given their child pocket money.
After the two communicated, they learned that their son had spent all the money in advance.
They became suspicious and asked more questions.
When their son refused to disclose where his money went, they checked his phone and that was when they found the explicit texts with the supposed masseuse.
Chen said: "He was stubborn and refused to speak until we said we would call the police to teach him a lesson. Only then did he confess."
Chen and his wife were shocked and angry by the discovery.
Chen said they could not believe that their son had done such a thing without telling them, and they severely reprimanded him.
Chen revealed that his son not only spent all his pocket money for the month, but also emptied his savings, including the money he got from red packets during the Chinese New Year.
In total, he spent at least S$1,000.
Chen said: "Of course he did something wrong, but how can a massage business target teenagers?"
When asked, the police confirmed that they have received a report.
Phone confiscated
Chen and his wife have confiscated their son's mobile phone to stop him from communicating with the masseuse and are giving him his pocket money on a daily basis.
He said the most important thing was to ensure that his son would not patronise the massage parlour again.
"Although my son is dissatisfied, we will persist in doing so until he can change his ways."
Man's wife went undercover
Chen said his wife then went to the massage parlour to find out first hand what was going on behind the scenes.
According to her, the massage parlour was run by women and the interior was dim.
Reporter went undercover
A Shin Min reporter then visited the massage parlour and pretended to be a customer.
He found several separate compartments or rooms that could be locked and had shower facilities.
The masseuse purportedly insisted that the reporter take a shower before the massage began.
After the reporter turned over to his front to lie on his back, the masseuse allegedly tried to entice him by feeling him out, before asking if he needed extra services.
When the reporter asked for a price, the masseuse said it would cost S$50 for a "beginner" service.
More services could be provided subsequently after they got to know each other better.
