In a helpless situation, the posters suggest to the children to shout-run-tell when in an uncomfortable condition with adults including close relatives.
The Committee on Juvenile Justice suggested that the posters should be displayed in all classrooms of private, government and aided schools. It was also suggested that the collector needs to plan permanent type of posters instead of temporary posters. The committee members asserted the importance of display on all special children homes, Anganwadi centres, all types of colleges, girl's social welfare buildings, panchayats, malls, exhibitions, bus stops, buses specially school buses and all kinds of hostels.
The committee members are particular about disabled children. The approved video must be played in all schools and class rooms. They also suggested orientation to be given to school managements on how to call and lodge a complaint by dialling 1098.
It has been decided to conduct the next round of meeting on next Tuesday on Training of Trainers Concept and use of volunteers and psychologists to spread awareness on good touch and bad touch.
NTR district collector Dilli Rao and commissioner of police Kanti Rana Tata, the officials of women and child welfare department, the district probation officer and Chidline Ramesh also participated in the meeting.
