Teen Spends S$1,000 on “Special Services” at Boon Keng Massage Parlour, Parents File Police Report

The parents of a 16-year-old boy have filed a police report after discovering their son spent approximately S$1,000 at a massage parlour in Boon Keng where he allegedly received “special” services.

The massage establishment, located at Block 101 Towner Road, came under scrutiny after the boy’s father, surnamed Chen (transliterated), found out his son had depleted his entire monthly allowance and savings on multiple visits to the parlour.

WeChat Request

The teenager first encountered the masseuse when he received a WeChat friend request from a stranger while playing sports in the vicinity.

After accepting the request, the woman identified herself as a masseuse from a nearby massage parlour and offered services that would “make him happy.”

Their conversation quickly turned explicit, with discussions about sexual services and pricing.

Unable to resist what his father described as “temptation,” the boy visited the massage parlour that day and subsequently became a regular patron.

Parents Uncover S$1,000 Massage Parlour Expenditure

The parents discovered something was amiss when their son approached them last week requesting additional pocket money after exhausting his S$500 monthly allowance.

Puzzled by this unusual request, Chen consulted his wife to confirm she hadn’t already provided their son with pocket money. When their suspicions grew, they examined their son’s phone and found the explicit conversations with the masseuse.

“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 told Shin Min Daily News.

The parents were shocked to learn their son had not only spent his entire monthly allowance but had also emptied his savings, including Chinese New Year red packet money.

In total, the teenager spent at least S$1,000 at the massage parlour.

Chen acknowledged his son’s mistake but questioned how a massage business could target teenagers. The police have confirmed receiving a report about the incident.

As a precautionary measure, the parents have confiscated their son’s mobile phone to prevent further communication with the masseuse and are now giving him pocket money on a daily basis.

“Although my son is dissatisfied, we will persist in doing so until he can change his ways,” Chen said.

Following the discovery, Chen’s wife visited the massage parlour to investigate. She reported that the establishment was operated by women and had dimly lit interiors.

Undercover

A Shin Min reporter who later visited the premises undercover found several separate rooms with locks and shower facilities.

The masseuse insisted the reporter shower before beginning the massage and subsequently offered “extra services” priced at S$50 for a “beginner” service, with more options available as they “got to know each other better.”
