2. Children are persecuted in many communities or in different homes. To stop such incidents, we should aware the citizens and if it still continues, the matter should be reported to the police.
3. In many cities and villages, children get abused. The only remedy is to inform the police about the matter and ensure legal actions against the culprits.
