87. There are only three specialized institutions for detaining children in conflict with the law, which are called Child Development Centres. The two centres for boys are located in Tongi and Jessore and the girls’ centre is in Konabari. These centres accommodate children with vastly varying needs: children in conflict with the law (during pre-trial and sentencing); children in safe custody; and children who have been referred by their parents for being “uncontrollable”. Some children have been also placed in safe custody in vagrant homes with adults.122 These homes often have very limited staff capacity, with no trained social workers or counsellors to provide individual case management. The BNHRC urges the GoB to establish more such institutions. 88. For the protection and promotion of child rights in Bangladesh, the BNHRC has established a Child Rights Committee. The Committee has been working with the Government in advocating for legal compliance with the CRC and the Constitution. The BNHRC has recommended the establishment of the Office of the Child Ombudsman in conformity with the National Child Development Policy 2011.123 89. The BNHRC has been very active in protecting child rights. On 11 July 2011, the BNHRC came to know that a 12 years old child had been imprisoned in the Kishoreganj Central Jail for at least 25 days. A national Bangla-language daily, Prothom Alo reported that a child had been put in jail together with adult criminals, some of whom were considered dangerous. On the same day, the BNHRC directed the District Magistrate in Kishoreganj to inquire into the matter and inform the BNHRC of the status of the child. On 13 July, the District Magistrate informed that the child had been removed from Kishoreganj Jail and transferred to the Child Development Centre in Gazipur.124 90. The BNHRC recommends revision of provisions of the Children Act 2013 regarding minimum age of criminal responsibility, length of pre-trial detention, imprisonment of the child in case of an heinous offence, Post-trial Captivity, Alternative Measure to Deprivation of Liberty,Maximum time limit for completing a trial, as well as effective implementation of the law throughout the country. 91.
