When this sad incident of molestation allegedly occurred, my friend did his level best to try and get due justice to his 10 year old niece who was in a shocked condition then. He ran from pillar to post but none of the concerned authorities (the Government, the Police, etc) were willing to take action against the accused. The entire legal system which is supposed to treat all as “equals before the law” just refused to work. Dear Sandeep, While the above case can be discussed separately AND I say up front .....IF the person is found guilty in the court. Do what the law provides for. BUT ..... Is that the case at hand? or, is it back to the "obfuscation" I was talking about? Unless, you are suggesting that - Sandeep is prosecutor, judge and jury .... because Badminton is the basis for law and judgment? As one who specifically deals with molested kids .... I personally believe that both the Goa Children's Act and the way this case has been and is being tried in the 'court of public opinion' is counter-productive and detrimental to the cause of the kids-at-risk in general. jc ps: I would like to restrict myself (for the moment) to the case at hand. I am quite happy to generically discuss the 'obfuscation' with anyone ....next weekend onwards..
