In the same breath, Levan Ioseliani underscores the significance of taking every precaution to prevent any harm to minors involved. The law enforcement agency, he emphasizes, has a duty to scrutinize the context beforehand and set up a safe environment for the minors. If a presupposed analysis isn't accomplishable, he insists, the minor's immediate removal from the ongoing investigations should ensue by way of a family member, relative, or trusted individual. If this isn't feasible, the involvement of a social worker and psychologist becomes indispensable.
The Public Defender's office will delve into the facts and take subsequent actions as called for under their purview. The official statement reads:
