Protect Our Children — It Is Everyone’s Responsibility
Cases like this serve as a painful reminder that child protection is not solely the duty of law enforcement — it is a collective responsibility. As parents, neighbours, community leaders, and citizens, we must remain vigilant and speak up whenever the safety of our children is threatened.
If you suspect a child is being abused or is in danger, do not look away. Report to the nearest police station or contact child protection agencies in your state immediately.
