The same corner discusses the dangers of misuse of personal information on social networking sites and the sections that can be slapped on an offender. The site informs visitors against misuse of cellphones and electronically transmitted communication like `teen sexting' involving sexually explicit messages and pictures transmitted through cellphones.
Another elaborate section on drug abuse informs about street names of a lethal drug like Ecstasy, talks of club drugs and the link between drug abuse, sex and HIV. The leaflets displayed on the site guide on ways to quit drugs and counsel parents on where to seek help. After launching the website www.dpjju.com acting Chief Justice of Delhi High Court and chairperson of Juvenile Justice Committee of the Court, Madan B Lokur, referred to the website as a step in the right direction. ``We have immense talent in India but unfortunately it has been seen that other countries are exploiting it,'' he asserted. ``For instance, in the area of Information Technology it is other countries that have exploited Indian talent. Similarly, despite the immense talent in our Hindi film industry we keep looking at Hollywood,'' he added. ``Approximately 40% of the Indian population is children and teenage youth. We do not need reports from abroad to deal with our children. The website, guidelines for police officers, along with a training manual, prepared by the Juvenile Police Unit is a step towards `self-help'. It consolidates what the Juvenile Justice Committee has been building since 2006,'' Lokur added, indicating there was still a long way to go. Police commissioner YS Dadwal also recognized the need for a childfriendly system and said police officials were now more aware of the laws related to Juvenile Justice System and the steps involved in dealing with a juvenile.
