Dear all, Of course it is inhuman and disgusting the way things are working. But I am happy that a labourer has had the sense and guts to report the case of child sex abuse to the police. Rape is not the only form of sex abuse that a child can go through. Statistics say that 51% of children- both male and female- in India face abuse; while 80 to 90% of disabled children face one form of sexual abuse or the other. It is often noticed that parents and caregivers – irrespective of their education and other background- shy away from talking to their children about child sex abuse and safety. The mildest form of abuse – like forced touching or stroking- can leave the deepest impact on the child and his/her entire life. So let us all be better parents / guardians/ teachers/ society For more information please visit http://www.sexualityanddisability.org/violence/child-sexual-abuse.aspx
