The General Command emphasised the importance of reporting any instance of violence or abuse against children immediately, to ensure rapid intervention and the provision of necessary support.

The Dubai Police have indicated that communication via the smart application, the official website or by calling 901, is conducted in complete confidentiality. Alternatively, individuals can visit the Children's Oasis directly at the Dubai Police General Command headquarters in the Al Twar area.

The Child and Women's Protection Department at the General Directorate of Human Rights received a report filed by a 10-year-old boy who complained about his father’s excessive cruelty. He severely beats him up causing visible bruises and contusions on his small body. The child repeatedly tried to hide these injuries from his peers at school.
