Lord, Bao TYouth just published a series of articles reflecting heartbreaking stories about 5 babies who are led by their mothers and uncles, forced to beg in Ba Ria-Vung Tau. The begging of TE begging recently was repeated in many localities, what do you think is the cause?

It is also illegal to shepherd TE by begging on the street, either outside the pastor or even from their parents. The TE law stipulates that the exploitation of TE, forcing a child to beg, is strictly prohibited, but there are still loopholes in the law. So far, many TE begging cases have been uncovered, but we handle them primarily by bringing the children home and then asking the law enforcement agency to intervene. These acts are often not handled criminally but only administratively, so they are not enough to deter, especially acts that often cause TE to wander, organized begging to exploit TE’s workforce. .

Recently, we have noticed that the cases related to TE abuse, handling of administrative infractions are very few, almost all authorities care less, they do not want to handle them, only when they reach the criminal level. then they will take care of the administrative process.

There are currently 17 agencies working to protect TE, but the TE begging scene still happens every day, so who is the main responsibility sir?

In the case of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, we recognized the timely participation of the volunteer team, the support of PV Newspaper. Youth and law enforcement agencies rescued the babies and brought the incident to light. This incident also shows that, for the above problem to occur and frequently recur, the first responsibility belongs to the local government, especially at the grassroots level.

The TE Law stipulates that the president of the Popular Committee of the commune, district and province is the first to be responsible for any incident of TE abuse in the area. In accordance with Prime Minister’s Directive 23 on strengthening measures to exercise TE rights and protect TE recently issued in May 2020, the local head, the head of local TE protection units take responsibility of this problem.

Must drive criminal

With the responsibility of being the state management agency in the field of TE, what solutions does the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs have to eliminate the trauma of TE begging?

At the end of last August, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs sent a letter to the localities on the strengthening of measures to prevent and combat begging in general and errant TNCs and begging in particular.

In this dispatch, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs also requested the Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs agency, the police and the relevant authorities to inspect, verify and strictly handle cases with beneficial posters immediately . use, seduce, negotiate, coerce, take advantage of TE, people with disabilities, elderly beggars. Strictly implement the Prime Minister’s instructions on the protection of TE, guaranteeing the rights of cynics and the social assistance law.

In particular, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs proposes to consider and handle the responsibility of the head of agencies, organizations and local authorities when the situation of wandering people begging or not supporting, intervening, promptly handling cases of rights violations of TE; Timely handle administrative violations or transfer case files showing signs of criminal violations to functional agencies for strict handling in accordance with the law.

See children begging, wandering, call 111 immediately

We recommend that with citizen responsibility, if someone discovers, sees TE wandering the street asking for alms, TE has been abused or abused in any way, then immediately notify 111 (national switchboard). Protection TE) to line 111 to connect, intervene and process in a timely manner.

Many people believe that the penalties for handling TE begging are still light, what do you think of this?

The TE Law also prohibits the exploitation of TE, but in practice it can only be handled administratively but not criminally, because the criminal law regulates labor exploitation. ETs must cause physical and emotional harm, assessing a disease rate of at least 11% to be able to criminally drive or injure 2-3 or more children.

Currently, with acts of abuse TE mainly only assesses bodily injury, but also causes mental harm, the evaluation criteria and the facilities have very little inspection function. There is a table ladder system to handle. We do not have such regulations, so it is difficult to exacerbate penalties for such acts. Therefore, acts of causing harm and abuse of TE should have measures to review the legal system to increase the severity of the handling. In the long term, we must add these provisions into criminal law to increase education and deterrence.

On the morning of 5.9, the Bac Ninh province police received the news that Dang Ngoc Anh (6 years old, a resident of Dinh Bang district) was locked in the house and abused by his father, Dang Trung Kien . Because Kien did not cooperate, the functional forces had to storm the house to rescue the baby in a state with many injuries on his body, and his right arm was broken. In particular, when the police arrested Kien, the police seized around 7.7 kg of drugs of all kinds and a loaded K59 pistol, and many exhibits related to the acts of TE. Initially, the Bac Ninh province police confirmed that Kien had beaten and mistreated his daughter for many days, injuring her. The incident is being fully investigated.

Opinion

There is a “gap” between perception and practice.

We have a relatively comprehensive legal system of care and protection for TE, but there is a “gap” between awareness and practice in the care and protection of TE, which limits the effects of the system. legal system now. To fully solve this problem, the first thing is to educate people.

In our localities, in addition to the state management agency, we have organizations that are responsible for the care, education and protection of TE. If agencies and organizations do well, I believe TE abuse and violence will decrease. The penalties against many forms of TE abuse must also be compounded to be sufficiently dissuasive. The sexual abuse of TE is an act of severe punishment, violence or that leads TE to beg, since the press reflects that in the past it is also necessary to punish them strictly.

I talk a lot but I have not done to place

For a long time we have talked a lot about protecting TE, publishing a lot of speech, but we have not done it anywhere. More than 10 years ago, in Hanoi, there was a case where the owner of the noodle shop abused the housekeeper for a long time, but the authorities did not detect it.

There are many reasons that lead to this phenomenon, but in my opinion, the main reason is that the local government has long been interested in “polishing, planting” the numbers, the goals, bringing achievements, growth, economic development of the locality. . On the issues of social “health” and social security, we have not done much.

You cannot bring poverty to justify crime

Many families are justified by difficulties and difficulties, but this cannot deny the responsibility of caring for and educating their children. Many parents take their children to beg as they see it as a tool to make money. That is the greed, ignorance and cruelty of parents. Even in the poor, it is impossible to justify poverty to be cruel to your children.

I fully agree to bring the act of bringing TE to begging to the level of criminal punishment, unable to allow TE exploiters to work, unable to administratively handle TE cases, including those that That person is a parent. The penalty framework should increase the number of forced ET cases, beatings and ill-treatment to force ETs to work and earn a living when their age is too young.

Responsibility must be clear

I have followed the newspaper information Youth On the case of my mother and my uncle who took their children to beg in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, something that makes me angry and saddens me a lot is why the government where the children live and the government where the children are in care not detected; even a baby has been abused many times and got pregnant 2 times without timely intervention.

The question of who is the responsibility of who needs to have a clear answer, it is impossible to reach 3-4 recipients, while the responsibility to protect TE in the area belongs to who, who manages who is not accepted. I believe that the main responsibility is the Popular Committees of communes, neighborhoods where TE live, then those responsible for this work, the women’s union, the youth union, the people of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs …

Today 9/7, the Association will have a meeting with the TE Department. We will have ideas to join the TE Department in requesting the local authorities to review and prevent this situation.
