Nanawagan si Senator Leila de Lima sa mga otoridad na paigtingin ang kanilang kampanya laban sa online sexual abuse sa mga kabataan at imbestigahan din ang ugat ng problema.

Iginiit ng senador na kailangang rebisahin ang mga alituntunin saimplementasyon ng batas matapos na ilabas ng Department of Justice(DOJ) ang datos na tumataas ang bilang ng insidente ng online sexual exploitation.

"The continuous increase of online sexual abuse targeting minors only emphasizes the need for the government not just to investigate this  alarming issue but also to review, assess and expand the implementation of the laws that are supposed to protect the Filipino youth and children. We must take this issue seriously because sexual predators have been taking advantage of the internet and the innocence of children, especially since the pandemic hit, to perform their illegal activities," aniya.

Sa ulat ng Office of Cybercrime (OOC) ng DOJ, aabot sa 2.8 milyong kaso ng online child sexual abuse ngayong taon mas mataas kumpara sa 1.3 noong 2020.

“The DOJ OOC must ensure that they have better system inplace to properly handle reports that will guarantee that no

legitimate cases of child abuse will be left unaddressed,” dagdag pang senador.
