Many behaviors that children have end up being categorized as criminal when in fact they are behaviors that are a symptom of a larger issue in a child’s life.

The ongoing debate over smaller class sizes (now the law in NYC) and how to get there is a fascinating study in public policy, community organizing, advocacy, and power. The NYPost does a nice job summarizing one aspect of this challenge and I hope someone is working on a documentary or podcast to capture this evolving journey — I think it will only get more interesting and complicated in the coming years. The financial and human resource implications of this law, in this timeline, are astounding. https://lnkd.in/eSUFRhiM

DELHI HIGH COURT INTRODUCES 'VIRTUAL TOUCH' EDUCATION FOR MINORS: A STEP TOWARDS SAFEGUARDING MINORS IN THIS DIGITAL ERA. Picture this: a world where every child is equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital landscape safely. That's precisely what the Delhi High Court aims to achieve with its groundbreaking 'Virtual Touch' initiative. In a landmark case, Kamlesh Devi v State of NCT of Delhi & Anr, the court shed light on the urgent need to educate minors about 'virtual touch' alongside traditional teachings on physical boundaries. This isn't just about recognizing 'good touch' and 'bad touch' anymore; it's about empowering our kids to thrive in the digital age. Think about the countless hours children spend online – chatting with friends, sharing photos, and exploring new worlds. While the internet offers endless possibilities, it also presents risks, from online predators to privacy breaches. That's where 'virtual touch' education comes in. By teaching minors about appropriate online behavior, recognizing warning signs of predatory behavior, and understanding the importance of privacy settings, we're giving them the tools they need to stay safe online. It's about more than just setting rules; it's about empowering them to make informed decisions and protect themselves in the digital space. But it's not just about legal jargon and court rulings – it's about real-world impact. The Delhi High Court's 'Virtual Touch' initiative is a call to action for all stakeholders. From schools and colleges to legal authorities, we all have a role to play in safeguarding minors online. The case of Kamlesh Devi serves as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in the digital world. As the court emphasized, we can't afford to wait until it's too late. We need to act now to ensure that every child has the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the digital world safely. The Delhi High Court's 'Virtual Touch' initiative is a game-changer in the fight to protect minors online. It's about more than just legal frameworks and educational curricula – it's about creating a safer, more empowering online environment for all children. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that every child can thrive in the digital age. AMA Legal Solutions ®
