Punjab Child Rights Commission Vows Action in School Gate Incident Involving 4-Year-Old Girl

The Punjab Child Rights Commission intervened in a critical case involving a 4-year-old at Delhi International School, demonstrating its commitment to child welfare under the leadership of Shri Kanwardeep Singh.

The Punjab State Child Rights Protection Commission acted in a child rights case involving a 4-year-old at Delhi International School, led by Shri Kanwardeep Singh, marking a crucial step in ensuring child safety in educational institutions.

In light of the news circulating on various news channels and social media platforms, claiming that a 4-year-old girl was removed from the gate of Delhi International School, Mahalpur, the Chairman of the Punjab State Child Rights Protection Commission, Shri Kanwardeep Singh, has taken suo-motu notice of the matter.
Shri Kanwardeep Singh, Chairman of the Punjab State Child Rights Protection Commission, explained that the Commission is a statutory body under Section 17 of the Commissions for the Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005, which works for the protection of child rights. The Commission has the authority to monitor and take action under the JJ Act, 2015, POCSO Act, 2012, and RTE Act, 2009. Under the provisions of Section 14 of the Act and the Civil Procedure Code, 1908, the Commission has the powers of a civil court to hear cases.
In this particular case, the Commission has issued an order summoning the Principal and relevant staff of Delhi International School, Mahalpur, to appear at the Commission's office on 12th December 2024 at 11:00 AM. They have been directed to present the facts of the case along with a full report.
The Commission will thoroughly investigate the matter and address any violation of the child's rights.

Children may not be allowed to have accounts on social media but they are making big bucks as 'child influencers.'

Playground of influence: the business of kidfluencing is a ticking time bomb

Children may not be allowed to have accounts on social media but they are making big bucks as child influencers. With no rules and regulations to protect them, here's why kidfluencing is a ticking time bomb awaiting explosion.

Children may not be allowed to have accounts on social media but they are making big bucks as 'child influencers.'

While Facebook (or what is now Meta) may have hit pause on its eerie <a href="https://www.editorji.com/world-news/facebook-puts-instagram-for-kids-on-hold-after-pushback-1632758031820">&lsquo;Instagram for Kids&rsquo;</a> project, this has not stopped children from becoming&nbsp;mega&nbsp;influencers&nbsp;on its main app.&nbsp;
From singing, dancing, acting, reviewing toys, movies or food to just posing in the trendiest fashion,&nbsp;a&nbsp;new generation of content creators&nbsp;is&nbsp;showing off their talent on social media.
Called &lsquo;kidfluencers,&rsquo; these&nbsp;children&nbsp;who could be&nbsp;as young as 2-3 years old&nbsp;and are now making big bucks for influencing their millions of followers. You can find these mini-influencers on&nbsp;YouTube, Instagram, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/world-news/uk-teens-faking-covid-positive-report-using-tik-tok-hacks-to-skip-school-1625226034018">Tik Tok</a>&nbsp;and more.&nbsp;

The influence of&nbsp;kidfluencers&nbsp;
The overall&nbsp;influencer industry&nbsp;is valued at about Rs. 1,200&nbsp;crore&nbsp;in India. While we don&rsquo;t know the market&nbsp;cap&nbsp;for&nbsp;child influencers, reports have pegged earnings from a single post to be as high as Rs 1-3&nbsp;lakhs for the most popular among this clan.&nbsp;In South Korea, a 6-year-old YouTuber Boram reportedly bought an&nbsp;$8 million home from her influencer income.
If that sounds like a lot, here&rsquo;s why&nbsp;tiny tots are making big bucks.&nbsp;A 2019 digital insight study said that 73 per cent&nbsp;of kids ask their parents to buy something after seeing recommendations&nbsp;from&nbsp;kid&nbsp;influencers.&nbsp;And 81 per cent of parents bought something children wanted after seeing it&nbsp;in a&nbsp;kidfluencers&rsquo; post.
And it doesn&rsquo;t take a genius to estimate that with school closures and online schooling, these numbers have and will continue to rise.
The consent and cash problem&nbsp;
But who gets to keep this money?&nbsp;While children&nbsp;are&nbsp;the face of the operation, these pages are&nbsp;generally&nbsp;run by&nbsp;their parents,&nbsp;as most&nbsp;social platforms don&rsquo;t even allow children under 13.&nbsp;There&rsquo;s an ongoing global debate on whether influencing is &lsquo;work&rsquo; and if so, can it be dubbed child labour?
Last year, France introduced a law to regulate children&rsquo;s 'influencer income.' The law mandates all income to be kept in a bank account till the kid turns 16 and also safeguards the child&rsquo;s right to be 'forgotten' if they want the content to be taken down.&nbsp;Notably, a YouTuber mom in the US was accused of inflicting abuse, starvation, and emotional manipulation by her own children for using them in her videos.

Closer home, the&nbsp;kidfluencer&nbsp;industry&nbsp;is still in its nascent stage and there doesn&rsquo;t seem to be much regulation in place to&nbsp;safeguard children from exploitation.
Parent Take: the problem with child influencers
Speaking to&nbsp;Editorji, Ruchita Dhar Shah of First Mom&rsquo;s Club highlighted the consequences of turning your child into an 'influencer.' Shah says that there may be information that parents give out (even unintentionally) that could reach online predators.&nbsp;
She explained&nbsp;that children's personalities are changing very quickly so while it may start as a fun talent you want to show off, it is incredibly hard to draw a line before it gets too much.&nbsp;
It is also dangerous to expose your child to a situation where they may calculate their self-esteem based on the number of likes and shares of their post, a problem that most&nbsp;adults&nbsp;also cannot tackle with ease.&nbsp;

Got a kid who wants to influence?&nbsp;
Just like forcing a kid to become one, it is probably not a good idea to stop your kid from becoming an influencer&nbsp;if that's what they want (and consent) to do. However, it is the duty of the caretaker to warn and prepare children for the online world before they choose to take the plunge.&nbsp;
In this case, Shah recommends asking&nbsp;children to not share their personal details like school, location or age with their online audience. It is also important to prepare the child for any negative comments or&nbsp;feedback that may&nbsp;be targeted towards them. Set limits on how much they can post or just social media and screens, in general.&nbsp;

Parents and caregivers should also keep a watch on what the kids are doing. It may take some time for parents to understand this world, but Shah adds that understanding the platforms is key to safeguarding your children from its ill effects.&nbsp;
