50 Human Rights Situation in Police Lock-up Cells contrary to existing human rights standards that children in detention shall be separated or segregated from convicted juveniles and adult detainees. 226 Regardless of their status as detainees, delinquent, or waif, paramount consideration shall be given to delinquent children who must be reclaimed, 227 and in all circumstances, be among the first to receive protection and relief; 228 and treated with humanity and respect for their dignity as human beings. 229 Backward children or those with disability, in particular, a special child, should not be held in a police lockup cell 230 but in appropriate facilities and services that meet the requirements of his or her condition and human dignity. 231 Children deprived of liberty shall not be tortured and maltreated, 232 yet, the study elicited a complaint from a CICL that he was hurt, punched and electrocuted by the arresting officers. 233 As to maintenance of records or registry on CICL, this is generally observed by police stations consistent with the Standard and Body of Principles that separate records for children arrested and detained must be maintained and treated in confidentiality, which shall contain, among others, information as to the identity of the juvenile person, the fact and reason for commitment, authority, day and time of admission, transfer and release. 234 Taken at MPD-Sta. Cruz PS But it is alarming to note that in one police station which has no lock-up cell for minors, the Women and Children’s Desk Officer (WCDO) is not aware of the detention of a minor in the lock-up cell for adult female PDL; said minor is not recorded in the WCD police blotter. 235 She only came to know of this fact when CHR team brought the matter to her attention. 226 Rules on the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of Liberty II.17; CRC, Article 37(c); ICCPR, Article 10.2(b) & 10.3.; and R.A.
