The government has adopted a “zero tolerance” policy toward any behavior that infringes on the rights of migrant children, especially violence, sexual assault, school bullying and cybercrime.
Li Feng, an official from the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, emphasized the need for interagency cooperation to protect children’s rights.
“We will urge parents or guardians to fulfill their duties and provide family education guidance whenever we find any behavior that harms children’s rights,” Li said. “We will also work closely with civil affairs bureaus to support migrant children who live alone without proper guardianship.”
Li added that procuratorates will offer judicial aid to migrant children involved in criminal cases and provide financial allowances as needed. For children who have been victims of assault, they will provide living support and psychological assistance.
