A mother who said she could not care for her newborn son surrendered him at the emergency room at a Glendale hospital Friday evening. The boy was the third child given up this year in Los Angeles County under the state’s “safe surrender” program.

The baby is expected to be placed in a foster home of a family chosen from a list of people approved by the Department of Children and Family Services’ adoption division, according to Cathy Walsh, the safe surrender specialist for the Los Angeles County Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect.

Given the shocking number of India’s children facing molestation over 53 per cent of the under-18 population, according to an estimate a strong law for tackling child sexual abuse has been long overdue.

Existing laws dealing with sexual offences do not specifically address sexual abuse of children. Legally, only rape and sodomy can lead to criminal conviction. Anything less than rape amounts to ‘outraging the modesty’ of the victim. The draft Protection of Children from Sexual Assault Bill, 2010, aims at recognising the broad range of sexual abuses which children may be subjected to.

After a wave of child rapes in the past two years, top national police officials yesterday decided to set up separate task forces in police precincts throughout the country to handle such crimes.

“All officers in command should make the prevention of child sex abuse top priority,” said Commissioner General Kang Hee-rak during an unprecedented, five-hour conference, which was called to discuss the child rapes and other recent incidents that have damaged the police’s reputation, including allegations that five Yangcheon police officers tortured suspects during police investigations.
