Expressing concern over children becoming victims of cyber crime, Dakshina Kannada Senior Child Protection Officer and Assistant Superintendent of Police Gaana P. Kumar on Saturday asked children to exercise caution while sharing information on social media.
Speaking during an interaction with children on the impact of COVID-19, Ms. Kumar said several children have become victims of cyber crime during this lockdown when they have been exposed to online classes. Children have been stalked on social media. They should be aware that their accounts are monitored by others.
She said Dakshina Kannada has so far reported 48 cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act in this year. Four cases under Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act have also been reported during this period.
The High Court of Karnataka on Friday directed the State government to file its statement of objections on an application filed by Bangalore Turf Club Ltd. (BTC), challenging the June 6 orders passed by the government in rejecting the BTC’s applications seeking permission to conduct on-course horse races and betting during the June-August season.
