Pavel Filip has declared at today's Government meeting that sexually abusing a child is a grave taboo and such cases have to be eliminated. Information on this subject must be concrete and the necessary measures have to be taken in order to combat this phenomenon. 

Earlier today Committee for culture, education, and youth of the Parliament held hearings where children were abused in educational institutions.

"It is a problem, regardless of where the abuse happens, be it in school, kindergarten or even at home. We must see what measure we can take in order to perish such situations not only from schools, but also from the whole society. This situation must not be left alone" Pavel Filip mentioned.

Minister of Education, Culture and Research, Monica Babuc has announced that a briefing will be held on this topic, where concrete cases will be discussed regarding children being sexually abused.

"There are specific actions responsible ministries should take in case of abuse and all information must be made available to the public on its website. In order to avoid any errors, we will host a briefing on this topic and come up with solutions" Babuc declared.

Publika reminds that recently a 14-year-old child was sexually harassed by a businessman 

According to prosecutors, the child was introduced to the entrepreneur by his boarding school's director. The suspect has supposedly rented an apartment and lured the child into living together.

For now it is unknown what rewards the school director received in exchange for a child. 

It begun in May 2016, when the child was 14-year-old. 

The harasser and school director now each risks 20 years of imprisonment, or even life sentences.
