Sexual abuse on children

India has now yet another dubious distinction of having the highest number of sexually abused children in the world; the country being already infamous for having the highest number of HIV positive cases and highest rate of malnutrition among children. The need of the hour is to enact a comprehensive legislation that addresses all forms of sexual abuse on children and enforce it with full force. Those found guilty has to be punished in the most exemplary manner so as to deter future incidences of such heinous crimes. At the same time we cannot remain complacent by entrusting the security of our children with the government. Our watchful eyes should follow our children wherever they are. The children should be made aware of different forms of sexual abuse so that they may be in a better position to recognize the malicious intentions of elders
