It's quite unfortunate that children are being targeted and are sexually assaulted these days. Parents are facing traumas regarding the security of their little ones. Right from toddler stage, it has become a worrying issue. It's as if we need a 3D version glass to focus on the minute details of safety measures.
I am quite speechless to come across news like the rape of a four-year old girl child by the school bus driver, the gang-rape of another school going girl child by her karate master. It's been shocking enough to know that a grandfather was sexually harassing his granddaughter for almost one year while the family members kept mum about this matter. As if these weren't enough... now even church fathers have come on the track of sexually harassing females just like those starved swamis in the past. And, this was clearly witnessed in Father Robert's case in the South where he had impregnated a fifteen year old girl who had already delivered his baby recently. There have also been reports about the deaths of minor girls who were found dead in the guest rooms of church priests. On the other side, even young boys have been targeted by their sexual predators and such incidents have taken place in homes, orphanages, workplaces, etc. Recently, a father had sexually harassed his very own son! These incidents themselves prove to be the dim lights of blurred humanity. We have indeed forgotten to value the lives of others to such an extent that we are ready to carry out any devilish acts to fulfil our selfish cravings and satisfy our greedy souls.
The situation has worsened to such an extent that parents are quite worried to even send their children to tuitions. A recent incident throws much light on this fact. A certain police woman's ten year old daughter was molested by a private tuition class operator during one of the classes. It seems that the GURU-SHISHYA PARAMPARA has been at a total loss due to these inhumane acts.
I wouldn't be surprised to come across parents who would like to seek some astrological help regarding the selection of the teaching cult for their school going children because of these updated tragedic events....Gone are those days when we used to wait for the re-opening of our schools after vacations in order to have much fun and frolic found in our educational organizations. Sadly, a time has come where the innocent minds are quite terrified of going to schools and tuition centres due to the misconduct of their so-called teachers.... Above all, I am hugely worried about the mental trauma these victimized little ones must have undergone resulting in the shattered reflections of their angelic innocence. Thus, the family of such ones as well the society must come forward to help out these kids to come out of these unfortunate events by being kind and supportive towards them instead of blaming them or looking down upon them. A combination of Sex Education and Self-Defence need to be adopted to create much awareness in these young minds which will give them an idea to prevent the injustifiable misdeeds meted out towards them. We must also instil in them the willpower to live forward and be the inspiring legends of our tomorrows.....!
-(This has been penned by me keeping in mind the arising need to create awareness about child sexual abuses happening in our very homes, schools, tuition centres, etc. Let's join hands to a put a permanent stop to all this.... )
