Senate OKs bill expanding protections for children versus online sexual abuse, exploitation
The Senate today approved on third and final reading a bill that aims to expand and improve government protections for children against online sexual abuse and exploitation.
Voting 23-0, the senators passed Senate Bill No. (SBN) 2209, also known as the proposed Special Protections Against Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) Law, or the Anti-OSAEC Law.
Sen. Risa Hontiveros, chair of the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality, and sponsor of SBN 2209, said that the measure is a much-needed update of existing laws to better protect children against acts of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation in the online sphere.
