CHR monitoring minors nabbed in Mendiola riot
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) is monitoring 91 minors apprehended during the September 21 protest rallies in Manila.
The minors were processed by the PNP's Women and Children Protection Center and the DSWD before being handed over to the Manila Social Welfare Office.
Sixty-eight minors have been reunited with their parents, while others were turned over to their respective local government units or are housed in a youth facility.
The CHR's Child Rights Center continues to monitor the release and welfare of the minors and will provide guidelines for their aftercare programs.
The CHR acknowledged the city government of Manila for focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
Parents have promised to join diversion and intervention programs, including community service, rehabilitation, and reintegration, as a constructive and restorative approach.
