A workshop was conducted by the Delhi High Court on Thursday regarding "online child sexual exploitation and abuse" and launched various “cyber awareness interactive videos” for children, in collaboration with the Delhi police.
The Chief Guest at the event was Supreme Court judge, Justice PS Narasimha. Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, other judges of the Delhi High Court and Commissioner of Delhi Police Sanjay Arora were also present.
Justice Mukta Gupta, Justice Yogesh Khanna, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, Justice Gaurang Kanth and Justice Saurabh Banerjee are the members of the Committee to regulate and monitor progress of guidelines under the POCSO Act. Justice Gupta heads the Committee.
Delivering the welcome address, Justice Mukta Gupta said that the workshop and Delhi High Court’s initiative of launching the interactive videos are founded on the idea of protecting the children from “anything that threatens to take away their optimism and innocence.”
The reason behind the strength of awareness as the defender of crime is because children as compared to most of us adults are both sensitive and receptive… I'll also like to mention that the Delhi Police will be working hard to enlarge the scope, the volume and, based on the feedback, the quality of these awareness videos to make sure the message reaches as many children in Delhi. I'd like to wish everyone a very safe, enjoyable and meaningful life in the cyber world,” Arora said.
Chief Justice Sharma and Justice Siddharth Mridul also delivered keynote and special addresses. The vote of thanks was delivered by Justice Saurabh Banerjee.

“It's only your parents who are your well-wishers in this cruel world. Don't trust anyone till you're grown up. Even when you grow up, parents are your best friends. Please trust them and listen to what they are telling you. It's a cruel world,” Chief Justice Sharma said.
