<p class="MsoNormal">Those incidents are just<span> </span>samples.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It<span> </span>is like a slap on our culture to hear such things happen around us.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The following are the measures I could think of to prevent abuse of small children and teenage girls. Please add some if you can think of any.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>1.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->School authorities are responsible to check the profile of the people whom they are employing as caretakers and drivers.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;">Those having criminal background or some police cases in their name should not be considered.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>2.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->A teacher or any other responsible person should escort all the children till the last one is dropped off at his/her home.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>3.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->The entire bus journey should be tracked using some electronic media.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>4.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Those crooks who are accused of such crimes should be punished severely without mercy. Something out of Sidney Sheldon’s write-ups is my choice <span style="font-family:Wingdings;"><span>J</span></span> That would create a sense of terror in any body else who thinks of committing such nasty things.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>5.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Crime branch from police should keep patrolling in every part of the city.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>6.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Most important of all, Parents should give their wards necessary precautions and educate them how to raise an alarm when they are in trouble.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>7.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Public should feel responsible to stop such obscene acts happening in their neighborhood or bring to the notice of a cop nearby.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>8.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Any media – movies or television or videos<span> </span>or books which show pornographic content should be banned completely. This is where youth should take up the responsibility. Only because people still encourage such media, they are being released into public either legally or illegally. Indirectly, people who use this media are also causes for such terrible acts and prostitution!</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0;">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>9.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->To stop incest, family members should keep an eye on the other members. If they find anything fishy , the concerned should be given immediate counseling. Many people do not come forward with such problems fearing a bad reputation. Such inhibitions should be shed off.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>10.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Hearing of such cases should be done very quick and the punishment should be apt and severe irrespective of<span> </span>criminal’s<span> </span>caste, creed, gender and background. <span> </span>I always wondered, what is wrong in punishing the accused if he has got some mental problem when he has committed serious crimes? We are sure we don’t want them to happen again! So get rid of the guilty.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>11.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->For God’s sake, ban those TV channels which show more problem than solution. What is the point in watching “HOW” a crime has been committed? We supposed to learn how not to get into such circumstances, aren&#8217;t we? Then please educate people how to save themselves from the clutches of sexual abuse. Don’t show how to do sexually assault someone.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>12.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->An interesting point:-</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0;"><span> </span>Wear decent and adequate clothing. If you don’t stand for this point, just<span> </span>go to Hyderabad central or any other such place which is said to be visited by so called “POSH” people. Some scholar said, a girl’s beauty is more heart-felt than seen. Stay beautiful if you are, <span> </span>don’t be sensual or revealing.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0;">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>13.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Boozing and Doping:-<span> </span>The ill-effects they cause are pretty-known to everybody. Needless to mention, another monster has crept in India recently- “Living together”. If making love before marriage is acceptable , what is the difference between mankind and animals? Where does the word “civilized human being” stand at this point?</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>14.<span> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Public should treat such criminals with contempt. Humiliation / disgrace wherever he goes should make him realize the severity of the crime.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">More points will be added later. A honest opinion either for/against my arguments is always welcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Scene 1:-<br />
</span></p>
<p><em>A small local street in Hyderabad.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A 6-year old girl was molested by a bus driver and a cleaner. Note the age of the girl, She might not have even heard the name of this bloody act ,forget its meaning</em>.</p>
<p>Scene 2:-</p>
<p><em>A local street in Noida.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Bones and remains of small children (about 12 in number) sexually abused by a native businessman  earthed in his house. Note the number of kids.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Scene 3:-</p>
<p><em>A local village in medchal. (I am not very sure about this place, but it is in Telengana for sure.)<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A 8-year girl repeatedly molested by a male due to which her uterus has been removed. Note the age of girl and also the consequences she is in at this tender age.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Scene 4:-</p>
<p><em>A personal Q and A column in a  woman magazine (Women&#8217;s era to be precise.)<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A boy has written a question to the psychologist saying he is sexually attracted to his mother(??????????)<br />
</em></p>
<p>Scene 5:-</p>
<p><em>A local town in Krishna dist.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A girl Ayesha Meera has been brutally raped , killed and the corpse was lying in an inexpressible state.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Scene 6:-</p>
<p><em>I have heard of this. Don&#8217;t know the whereabouts of this incident. A similar incident took place in US recently.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A girl was sexually abused by her own father</em>.</p>
<p>Scene 7:-</p>
<p><em>Most of us know this. Sri Lakshmi was savagely murdered by her classmate, who is now going to be released( or might have been released already) after a nominal conviction of some years</em>.</p>
<p>Scene 8:-</p>
<p><em>Thanks to woman&#8217;s era personal column.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A mother sent a post that read &#8212; &#8221; I found my children going to bed together.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p>Scene 9:-</p>
<p><em>A local hospital in Delhi.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A nurse who was on night duty was brutally raped by a compounder after which she was found in a bathroom with a dangling eye!<br />
</em></p>
<p>Scene 10:-</p>
<p><em>Another town in India.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>A father kills his own daughter who happened to know about his illicit relationship with another woman</em>.</p>
<p><em>There is another argument too- He has an alibi saying he killed her because she was sexually close to their servant</em>.</p>
<p>*****************************************************************************************************************</p>
<p>Does this sound like some crime reporter on a local news channel? Pardon me if it does. I wanted to start off with a list of incidents and details I was aware of them. Though it seems like only the criminal directly involved is responsible for such bloody events,  there are many things(?) that are indirectly more relevant causes for these to happen.</p>
<ol>
<li>Negligence of school authorities</li>
<li>Nonperformance of crime control officers</li>
<li>Carelessness of Government</li>
<li>Negligence of parents</li>
<li>Ignorance of victims</li>
<li>Fear in the affected</li>
<li>Lack of responsibility in public</li>
<li>Lack of fear of law in crooks</li>
<li>Inability of the affected to fight for justice</li>
<li>
<div>Last but first, media which explicitly shows incest and lust.</div>
<p>I can go on with number of such reasons.</p>
<p>But,  now I  ask myself.. &#8220;Am I living in a civilized society? &#8220;</p>
<p style="margin-left:108pt;">&#8220;Is there something on this earth that is impeccable and is not responsible for these to happen?&#8221;.  If you happen to find one such a thing, please tell me.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>PS:- Coming next is a post that contains the ideas and thoughts I could think of to prevent  such things in coming future.</p>
