Children’s rights group: No to curfew plan

Bahay Tuluyan, a children’s rights organization, strongly condemned president-elect Rodrigo Duterte’s plan to imprison parents of children found on the streets after curfew. The group said that many children go to the streets looking for ways to support their families, and that these kids are in very difficult circumstances. “Jailing parents for this will only cause severe trauma to children and deeply damage already-fragile families,” said Bahay Tuluyan.
