Dr.
Prateep Phillip, ADGP - CID, in his special address to the gathering assured
them that the Police dedicate themselves to protect the children against crimes
like kidnap, abduction, child rape, etc. However, unfortunately with most
of the crimes happening within the four walls of the house, Police get to know
about this rather too late and quite a few cases do not get reported at
all. He also highlighted the fact that the Protection of Children from
Sexual Offences Act was amended in 2018 to provide for award of death penalty
for assaults of an aggravated nature on children below the age of 12. 1
in 3 children, boy or girl, is abused. He added that the Friends of
Police Student Corps will be introduced in all Schools and Colleges in India
shortly to educate and empower the children regarding this.
