12,968 child abuse cases concluded: AG
The Attorney General (AG) has concluded a total of 12, 968 child abuse cases over the past 18- months through its Child Protection Unit, Coordinating Officer to the AG State Counsel Nishara Jayaratne said today. According to the department, some 851 child abuse cases are still pending in courts.
Earlier a special report titled, “Role of the National Child Protection Authority relating to Child Abuse in Sri Lanka”, was released last month by Auditor General department pointing out the longstanding delay in prosecution of cases related to child abuse.
“Even though child abuses, delinquencies and injuries had been on the rise during the previous seven years, the higher management of the [National Child Protection Authority – NCPA] had not properly directed the district/divisional child protection/district psychosocial officers for preventing such occurrences,” the Auditor-General states.
