Governor Mauricio Kuri has promoted a law that reinforces the safety and well-being of girls, boys, and adolescents in Querétaro, particularly in the digital environment. For this initiative to be successful, the active participation of citizens is crucial.
Citizen participation is essential to sustain any legislative effort for the common good. Stricter laws are not enough; a vigilant community willing to report, educate, and protect the most vulnerable is needed. Everyone, from parents to public servants, has an important role in this endeavor.
From home, participation begins with the formation of values and the creation of a safe environment for girls and boys. Open communication, education about their rights, and generating trust so they can express their concerns are essential aspects of this process.
The tools provided by the child protection law must be applied responsibly by society. It is important to promote a culture of reporting and supporting victims to ensure that authorities can act effectively in cases of crimes against minors.
The proposed reform to the Law on the Rights of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents of the State of Querétaro and the Penal Code aims to protect minors from the risks present on social media. The protection of childhood and adolescence is a commitment that concerns all of society, not just the government.
In schools, the role of teachers and administrators is fundamental to detect warning signs and act promptly in cases of risk for minors. Protecting the present of children is ensuring a better future for all.
