Children involved in begging are identified by the police and the municipal police.
According to sociologist Andrii Djukanovic, children should live their children's lives, and in cases involving children in work activities, it is necessary to toughen the measures of authorization of both parents and all those who involve. According to the sociologist, child labor is prohibited by law in any developed society, it is also prohibited in Montenegro. According to him, statistics do not show that involving children in the work is common, however, such cases are much more than indicated in the statistics. Also, according to the sociologist, he does not rule out such cases when such a method is the only one for the survival of the family. And, he said, the state should protect children from any way and form of their exploitation.
