Tougher penalties and prevention against child abuse
The ÖDP wants to act more decisively and earlier against child abuse. More prevention, tougher criminal law and effective prosecution are meant to contribute to this. Physical and psychological mistreatment of children and adolescents is to be fought with full force.
The ÖDP wants to protect children better from abuse. Punishments should be tougher. Police should pursue offenders more effectively. There should be more prevention. People in danger should find help easily, for example through hotlines.
The program calls for a swift end to the spread of child pornography and the crime surrounding it. Anyone threatened by violence or afraid of it should get easily accessible help, such as emergency hotlines and online counseling. The effect of the new legislation is to be reviewed closely.
