00:00It was rather a kind of apology to the world, to the death that we must avoid.
00:15Well, we thank the statements of Attorney General Willem Zabd, and here it is the Ombudsman
00:23House Office, and we want to see your perceptions about this issue.
00:30Well, it is very important, the hearing of today, in fact, the Ombudsman House Office
00:40and the Prosecutor's Office, we attach to that, request to that, and it is very important
00:49the actions of all Venezuelan institutions, which from the first moment they assisted
00:57the teachers affected, and it is a special call for children, girls and boys, don't
01:07get fooled to those provocations that attempt on your security, but also the teenagers must
01:17denounce any issue that compromised the life or that attempt against the security of the
01:29safety of people, because this is a crime and it is a danger for the nation.
01:39They can come to any of the headquarters of the Ombudsman Office, the Prosecutor's Office,
01:45any educational facility, there you will be guided, and we are trying to avoid all that
01:55harmful contents on social media, who is searching for death.
01:59My congratulations for families, not only the Association of Bolivarian Families that
02:07presented that this lawsuit, but all the protections of boys and girls, so it is a call for everyone
02:19to dedicate, to eradicate this culture of violence, of death, of risk against the health,
02:27against lives that are just there on social media, so those companies who promote or are
02:36allowed through them these attacks against the Venezuelan society and against the lives
02:42of our children will be punished.
02:45Well, thank you very much for the statements of Pedro Luis, and we want to hold talks with
02:52Carmen, who is a leader of the movement of families who have made this lawsuit to take
03:04some actions against the guilty ones.
03:07Well, first of all, I want to thank the Supreme Court of Justice in the mission of this appeal
03:17that we raised here precisely yesterday, and in less than 24 hours, when it was activated
03:26all the protection systems of our minors, because the Bolivarian family movements stem
03:35from the fundamental goal of protecting our minors, so these crimes that we're seeing
03:46in several educational facilities must alert all Venezuelan families to take all precautionary
03:57actions, mostly on these social media that boost the culture of death and not of peace,
04:05so our educational facilities are a space for life, for peace, and not for death, and
04:13that's why all the Venezuelan families, we are all activated to carry out a plan of observation
04:23of safeguarding beside all our institutions, and so we thank again, and we are very grateful for it.
04:32Well, they appreciated the support of the Venezuelan judicial system, and we want to
04:44talk to another authority about the minors' family, and how can you assess the actions
04:53taken by the judicial system to prevent all these crimes against minors?
05:01Well, once again, the Venezuelan state takes the lead in such an important thing that affects
05:12the minors. Well, all institutions have summoned to take a responsible action before this,
05:26and so as a country, part of the International Convention on the Children's Rights, and it is
05:34a fundamental tool for the protecting families, and so we have attended an interesting hearing,
05:41because it is the Venezuelan family, it is the popular power that presents all the things
05:53established at the Constitution, and that says as an actor of the protection system of the children,
06:02that we have deployed in all the schools, and in all the prevention measures, and we are activating
06:10the mechanism to guarantee a protection ahead of these silenced enemy social media, because we are
06:20on a very digital world, and so the Venezuelan family needs protection tools to be able to
06:26protect our children of very dangerous practices that promote all a culture of hatred and intimidation,
06:38and so Venezuela takes the lead, and says to the world that we are a country of peace, and we defend
06:45our Constitution, which is very advanced in matters of humanitarian rights, and it is activating a
06:52whole mechanism. Well, also mothers representing the Bolivarian movement of families, what do you
07:03have to say to the country? What are your recommendations for mothers and representatives?
07:08Well, today, as we have seen constantly with the affectations of our children, so we need that
07:24parents and representatives safeguard our children and teenagers in our schools, because it is pivotal
07:32to have family communication and support, not only of our educational facilities, ministries,
07:40but each one of us in a communication level, we must be held accountable, and to safeguard our
07:51children and teenagers to be able to have a humanitarian organization, because right now,
