Another young child abused.
Another day passed. Why have we become so insensitive? Is this all we can do?
Sit and cry and curse our fate if this happens to our children? Waiting for
disasters to happen?
Ok. We are meek and weak beings
living in misery. But why does it not bother Government that innocent children’s
lives are being crushed? Give some compensation and dust your hands off? Yeah.
Its that simple. Not because kids are not voters but simply because we as
parents don’t care.
We the educated, sensible and
intelligent young generation of India earning in Lakhs everymonth don’t care
what kind of people we choose, or choose not to choose to take care of our
lives, our children’s lives. It’s not just enough if you care about what Mutual
funds you have invested in for your child’s future. It’s not enough if you
simply put him/her in a “Good School”. What kind of ingtellectual environment
your child is growing is as important. Is she/he physically and emotionally
safe? Are we bothered about that?
Have you learned about these key
facts that Child Sexual abuse is most common and perpetrators are often family
members? That the victim can be a boy or a girl? Have you kept those lines of
communication between you and your child alive?
Today the meaning of investment in
your child’s future has acquired a very narrow meaning. All that comes to mind
is buildings and bank balances. What about intellectual investment? Are they
safe there? Is it not our responsibility to build a safe world for them as
well? Afterall they are not going to live alone in the world.
Am pained. Pained by the world we
are leaving behind for those innocent lovely souls the responsibility of
bringing whom, is solely on us. Can we not be more human? The race for
materialistic pleasures has somewhere taken out a very important aspect of our
species, being HUMAN.
