    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 23 of the Bill be amended by deleting subclause (1) and replacing with a new subclause (1) as follows— “(1) Where a child is arrested, detained or deprived of liberty in execution of a lawful sentence, the competent authority shall within seven days notify a parent or guardian of the child of such arrest.”; When a child is arrested, we do not want the parents or the guardian to be informed within reasonable time; we want to provide what that reasonable time is. We are proposing that “reasonable time” be deleted and be replaced with “within seven days”. Particularly when it is a child, it is incumbent upon the arresting authorities to inform either the chiefs, assistant chiefs and the District Commissioners to look for the parents or the guardians of those children, so that they are informed that their children have been arrested. It should be done, not within reasonable time, but within seven days."
