A group that envisions “a just world for children” has called on authorities to exercise caution in handling minors accused of violating the quarantine protocols.
Violators will be fined P1,500 for the first offense, P3,000 for the second offense and P5,000 for the third offense or 30 days’ imprisonment, depending on the discretion of the court.
The group said a barangay official or law enforcement officer shall explain to an arrested minor, in the language understood by him or her the reasons why the minor needs to be brought to the barangay hall. Officers, it added, shall also avoid showing their weapons and handcuffs to the child and refrain from using any force.
“The parents or the guardian of the child shall be immediately informed regarding the incident involving the child violator and ask for their presence in the barangay or the place where the violation took place,” CLB said.The custody of the child, the group stressed, shall be given to the parent or guardian.
