Sexual abuse of children at school rampant
By Rashmi Singhvi
Sexual abuse one of the most rampant offences perpetrated against school children. In most cases, the child is not even aware of what is being done to him or even understand the gravity of the situation.
Given the rising spate of children being sexually abused in pre-primary schools the worries of parents have no limits. Often, the child does not even tell his or her parents about such incidents because of shame and ‘humiliation’ and for the fear of being judged.
So who does the child face threat from? The answer is, from anyone and everyone – teachers, principal, peons, janitors, maids, cleaners, drivers, guards, other students, etc.
The school staff has the responsibility to ensure protection and well-being of children. However, in most instances, it is the protector that becomes the predator and perpetrates heinous crimes against children. So, background check of everyone who works in the school is of utmost importance.
