Khaberni - Retired General Ammar Al-Qudah revealed a shocking incident where an 82-year-old elderly woman was sexually assaulted by her grandson, who was under the influence of the drug Shabu.
Al-Qudah described the incident as "embodying the utmost levels of human and moral decay," warning of the repercussions of the spread of drugs on individuals and society.
The drug Shabu, also known as crystal meth, is among the most dangerous drugs globally, causing auditory and visual hallucinations, and aggressive behavior that may lead to committing violent crimes against family members and the community.
This drug directly affects brain cells, leading to rapid addiction, loss of behavioral control, increasing the likelihood of social deviance and isolation, and undermining moral values among users. The spread of this type of drug poses a threat to community security and necessitates intensifying awareness campaigns and stringent legislation to combat it.
Recent studies on the Shabu drug have shown that more than 60% of its users suffer from psychological and behavioral disorders, including agitation and violence, while about 40% of them struggle to maintain family and social relationships, making it particularly dangerous to the family and society at large.
Hence, the importance of raising awareness among youth and parents about the dangers of drugs, reinforcing the role of schools and civil society in spreading awareness about the harms of Shabu and crystal meth, and urging families to monitor their children and pay attention to their social and psychological relationships, especially given the availability of drugs illegally in some areas.
The security and judicial authorities are tightening their procedures in fighting drug smuggling networks and referring those involved in any drug-influenced crimes to the competent courts, to ensure the protection of society and curb the deviations that may occur as a result of consuming these dangerous substances.
