While the rights activists were celebrating the ‘International Day of the Girl Child’ across the globe and the officials were speaking on girl child rights on October 11, information about more than 200 minor girls rescued from different parts of the State and produced before the Krishna Child Welfare Committee (CWC) was allegedly leaked.
Members of the CWC were shocked when they reportedly noticed a 229-page printed book with the photographs and profiles of the children in the office. The data of the children produced and referred to the Child Care Institutions (CCIs) should be either with the CWC or the CCI in the shape of forms and kept in the files or in the official computer database, but not to be printed. This indicates that the data had gone out of the office for printing, which is not acceptable, as there may be a breach of data.
Under Section 74 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, details of the Children in Need of Care and Protection (CNCP) prohibits disclosure of their identity.
