Fall 2011

Amid the spate of crimes involvingminors in the country, Department ofSocial Welfare and Development

(DSWD) Secretary Dinky Soliman on Mon-day dismissed the idea of amending the lawthat spares minors from being prosecuted for acrime.

Under Republic Act 9344, or the Juve-nile Justice and Welfare Act, minors areexempt from criminal liability and are onlysubject to rehabilitation programs.

The law states that minors aged 15 andbelow, at the time of the commission of thecrime, should be immediately released tothe custody of the parents or a guardian.

Meanwhile, minors aged 15 to 18 whocommitted the crime “with discernment”are subject to a “diversion program.”

Speaking to radio DZMM, Solimansaid authorities must instead go after peoplewho use minors as tools in committingcriminal acts.

Soliman, however, admitted not alllocal government units in the country havefacilities that will take in minors who are in

conflict with the law.

FacilitiesShe said the department plans to use a

drug rehabilitation facility in Bicutan,Taguig strictly for minors aged 15-18. Itcurrently houses both minors and personsof legal age.

The law further states that children inconflict with the law “shall not be detainedin the provincial, city or municipal jail, evenif there are quarters separate from adultdetainees.”

Nevertheless, Soliman said it is still themoral imperative of the government tospare minors from criminal punishment,and aim for their full rehabilitation.

The DSWD estimates there are 5,654street families around Metro Manila.

Soliman said the DSWD has identified10 key areas in the metro where street chil-dren are at risk of being involved in crimes.She said social workers and officers will bedeployed in these areas.—Dharel Placido,originally posted in abs-cbnnews.com

New Lease on Life for StreetChildren of Metro Manila

Clearing Metro Manila of street chil-dren has been a problem for years.There are continuing efforts, both

by government and the private sector, tokeep them off the streets, but their numbercontinues to grow.

Each day, more street children roamthe streets, looking for a place to stay, work-ing, begging and scavenging. They are sick,abandoned, out of school, deprived of food,shelter and clothing, exposed to crime,abuse and exploitation.

Street children, usually come fromlarge families and broken homes. There aremore boys than girls. The hazards they faceinclude sickness, physical injury from vehic-ular accidents, street fights, harassment,exposure to substance abuse and diseases.Poverty is a major reason street children loi-ter in the streets of Metro Manila and otherurban centers in the country. Parents’ reluc-tance to cooperate with agencies has beencited as the reason the problem on streetchildren has not been addressed. Some fam-ilies refuse to work with authorities, claim-ing they do not need intervention to protectthe welfare of their children. Some parentsallow children to earn a living.

It may be a tall order, but there is opti-mism that the problem of street children

may be resolved soon. By the end of 2011,the government is eyeing zero street chil-dren in Metro Manila’s major thorough-fares. The priority targets are the over 4,000street children converging mostly in areas ineight cities of the metropolis - Manila, Que-zon City, Caloocan, Pasay, Pasig, Pa-rañaque, Mandaluyong, and Muntinlupa. Itis a collaborative endeavor, involving notonly government agencies, led by theDepartment of Social Welfare and Develop-ment, but non-government organizations(NGOs) as well.

Activity centers are being establishedwhere children can stay and play, for char-

acter building, value formation, and lifeskills training. The Metropolitan ManilaDevelopment Authority and 17 local gov-ernment units in the National CapitalRegion are set to implement a program pro-viding street children and their familieswith homes, education and livelihoodopportunities, helping to make sure thatthey will permanently stay off the streets.

Street children are in need of specialprotection as they face risks and hazards.The zero-street children program is wel-come, as it could give them a new lease onlife, with better living conditions that willallow them to grow in a normal environ-ment, provided with education and health-care as investments for the future.—origi-nally posted in Manila Bulletin Online
