Amid all the social development campaigns undertaken in the Nation, girls are still falling as victim of Sexual abuse. On asking for help, the authorities turned irresponsible.

On 1st September, a 6th Grade student from Oxford Public School, Kandivali was molested in the School premises. The Victim’s Mother has posted a video on Facebook describing about the incident-

“My Daughter was surrounded by 6 boys, probably not from the same school. They lifted her skirt up and touched her inappropriately. School security acted like an audience during the molestation. She yelled and the boys fled in no time. On complaining about the same to the Principal, my Daughter was ignored and scolded for no reason.”

The victim’s Mother stood by her daughter asking for justice from School. She immediately approached Police station, but to her forbidden, the case wasn’t taken into consideration even after eight hours of complaining. The police did not even turn up in the School to enquire next day. On asking about their absence, they said they did not have staff, lame enough?

“My Daughter was molested in the school Premises and the whole incident is been recorded in CCTV Camera,” says Victim’s Mother.

She and other Parents forced Police to enquire in the School and take an action against the same. The Police have started investigating on the case now.

Irresponsible School Authority and lazy Police can turn a threat to the society. There can be more such untold stories of molestation, similarly ignored and shut forever. Nothing has been proved yet though, Police could have acted responsibly.
