At this juncture, the Commission also deems it imperative to remind the public that the circulation of videos or images of children in distressing circumstances on social media is not only highly insensitive and unethical but also constitutes a violation of the law. Such acts fall within the purview of the Juvenile Justice Act (JJA) and attract strict penal consequences, including imprisonment. The MSCPCR has further impressed upon the Police and all investigative agencies the urgent need to expedite the probe into this gruesome incident. Swift and thorough investigation is vital, not only for justice to be delivered but also to provide the bereaved family some measure of closure from this painful and tragic episode
