Protect minors from the chain of interests and punish illegal acts that infringe on the lawful rights and interests of juveniles
Recently, the Zaoyang Municipal People's Court in Hubei Province announced three typical cases of organizing minors to engage in paid escort activities, and a total of nine defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.
This has once again aroused the great importance of all sectors of society to the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of minors. Judging from the circumstances of the case, some lawbreakers in order to seek personal gains,
He does not hesitate to employ illegal means of organizing minors to engage in paid escorts in entertainment venues. The youngest victim was only 13 years old, and a male minor was also found involved at the scene of the crime.
Such acts not only infringe upon the personal freedom and dignity of minors, but also seriously damage their physical and mental health, and are also a serious violation of national laws and regulations on the protection of minors.
The key reason for this situation is that some entertainment venue operators lack a sense of social responsibility and only blindly pursue profits, without taking into account the legitimate rights and interests of minors.
In order to increase sales, they do not hesitate to obtain illegal benefits in the form of "paid escorts", which not only violates the law, but also seriously deviates from social morality.
It can be said that this has fully exposed some outstanding problems that still exist in the mainland in the protection of the rights and interests of minors. On the one hand, there are loopholes in the regulation and enforcement of some entertainment venues.
As a result, some violations continue to spread; On the other hand, the awareness of parents and all sectors of society on the protection of the rights and interests of minors needs to be further enhanced. In response to this problem,
We must approach remediation and prevention on multiple fronts. First of all, the relevant law enforcement departments should increase the daily supervision of entertainment venues, and promptly file cases for investigation and punishment of some venues suspected of violating laws and regulations.
Truly protect the lawful rights and interests of minors. At the same time, relevant laws and regulations should be further improved, and the punishment of violations of the lawful rights and interests of minors should be strengthened, so that lawbreakers will pay a heavy price.
Secondly, parents should take responsibility as guardians, take the initiative to pay attention to their children's living conditions, and promptly detect and stop them from participating in inappropriate activities.
At the same time, schools and all sectors of society should also strengthen ideological education and psychological counseling for young people, help them establish a correct outlook on life and values, and stay away from all kinds of bad temptations.
In addition, we should also advocate the participation of the whole society in the protection of the rights and interests of minors. Once it is discovered that organized minors are engaged in illegal activities, they should actively report it to the relevant departments.
Only by forming a pattern of the participation of the whole society can we effectively curb this illegal act that infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of minors and create a safe and healthy environment for them to grow up.
In short, protecting minors and safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests is not only an important social responsibility, but also related to the future of the country and the nation.
Let's work together to pave a better path for children's growth.
