No mercy for those who abuse kids: Revanth
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|July 06, 2025
Says we must ensure procedures help child victims, not hurt them, and also strive to end child pornography
CHIEF Minister A Revanth Reddy said on Saturday that abuse of children on social media must be dealt with strictly, and offenders should not be shown any leniency. He stated that his government was prepared to take all necessary steps to ensure justice and compassion for children, not only in courts but also at police stations, child centres and at every stage of the process.
Addressing the inaugural session of the State-Level Stakeholders' Consultation Meet — 2025 on Voice for the Voiceless: Rights and Protection of Children of Sexual Abuse, the chief minister said the POCSO Act and Juvenile Justice Act were progressive legal instruments, but they present challenges. "We must ensure procedures help child victims, not hurt them. We must also work to end child pornography and impose strict punishments," he said.
