Viewers say enforce laws to protect children

The story of the missing children from the San Marcos Village, Toledo, has grabbed the attention of the nation. The siblings had left home in their village to sell fruits in surrounding villages when they disappeared, two days before returning to school. On Tuesday night we asked our viewers if they thought there should be enforcement of the laws to prevent children from being exposed to any activity that is detrimental to their well-being. Of the viewers that participated in the poll, ninety-five percent said enforcement for the laws would offer protection to the children. One viewer said: “Laws should either be enforced consistently or repealed. Otherwise, when they are enforced haphazardly, enforcement easily becomes a tool to oppress and discriminate. That destroys the rule of law.”
