Child sex offenders should not be accepted as members of society, Vice President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik has said.
Speaking at a ceremony at Bandos Island Resort last night to mark the second anniversary of NGO Child Abuse Prevention Society (CAPS), the VP noted that in other countries convicted paedophiles were separated from society and not allowed near children even after completion of sentences.
Dr Waheed praised the efforts of CAPS in the past two years and expressed hope that more people would volunteer or join civil society organisations in the future.
At last night’s ceremony, the VP presented plaques of appreciation and recognition to individuals who had provided assistance to CAPs since its formation two years ago.
