ABS-CBN: PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH CHILDREN'S HEART AND MIND

I'd like ABS-CBN to be VERY CAREFUL in using CHILDREN in their TV shows. In tonight's episode of teleserye "Ikaw Lamang", there was a scene where the character of Franco (played by Jake Cuenca) was DEMONICALLY HARASSING (NANLILISIK ANG MGA MATA; SINISIGAWAN NG BUONG LAKAS AT GALIT ANG BATA HABANG TUMATALSIK ANG LAWAY; HABANG MAHIGPIT NA HINAHAWAKAN ANG BRASO NG PASLIT) the character of the LITTLE GIRL -MAYBE AROUND 3-4 YEARS OLD- (supposedly, according to the story, accused by Franco as his wife's -Kim Chiu/Isabel- daughter with his wife's lover Samuel -played by Coco Martin-). And the LITTLE GIRL, subsequently CRIED. And I'm very sure that I saw in the Little Girl's face REAL FEAR (not just make-believe fear), REAL FEAR, as she WAS CRYING TERRIFIED OF THE DEMONIC-LOOKING and -ACTING FRANCO (played by Jake Cuenca). Maybe Jake Cuenca can simply say that he's simply doing what his Director required him; the Director in turn can say as it simply was asked by the STORY. But the BUCK has to stop SOMEWHERE! Yes, it's great to see great acting (if it actually is), to watch a nice (hopefully so), TV show. BUT, CAN ALL THESE JUSTIFY PUTTING A LITTLE GIRL (3-4 YEARS), A MINOR, in PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM'S WAY. ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME FOR ABS-CBN TO REMIND ITSELF of what VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN (VAWC) MEANS; ABOUT WHAT THE RIGHTS OF A CHILD MEAN. SHOULDN'T MTRCB LOOK THIS UP? SHOULDN'T CHR LOOK THIS UP?
