    "content": "that they happen at intervals. They do that through mobile phones. Indeed, it is a national problem. But be that as it may, when we are addressing these issues we should not hurt these children more but find ways of addressing the national problem. We need to relook at parenting and then deal with the children in a way that rehabilitates them and does not hurt them any further. This is recognised in the Children Act of 2012 and it emphasises that during incarceration children should not be put in the same cells or prisons with adults because they are liable to abuse and could be used within the systems to commit more crime or abet it. Our system recognises this and we have 12 remand homes for children in this country. We have special cells for children. We have institutions that could host children instead of putting them in prison. We have 10 rehabilitation centres and we have eight rescue centres for children. So, it is true that we have a system. I support Hon. Washiali’s Motion."
