Insiders usually abuse when they know they are at no danger from the victim. They usually choose a child. At that given point of time, the child hardly knows what's going on and doesn;t say anything and even if he/she does, they are just put aisde thinking it might just one new immature thing they are saying.

By the time they find out the magnitude of the situation, it is too late to do anything. They are too embarassed to speak up, specially when the assaulter is an insider. In spite of being aware of the fact that addressing the issue is of utmost importance, they just cannot.

This is a very serious matter and it is very hard to pick a side. Morally, the assaulter should be punished, such terrible people shouldn't even be allowed to live with humans. But then, no one knows about the incidence till then and then one fine day, you can't just let it all out. Not everyone is that that strong.

And, no matter how much you guard your children, you can never be too sure. There are cases when uncles, close family friends, neighbors assault little ones. After all, how many people are you not going to trust? Of course, it is always good to take precuations though.

So, according to me, it is very serious issue and very hard to pick a side here. I hope, though, that God gives strength to those who have to face these harsh realities of life.

very well put..rutumodi915

going to elders with this sort of problem wouldnt have been hard if ...m sorry to say that the elders behave in the RIGHT WAY... instead they go all blaming the poor victims...if the victim could only just trust that her family will help her out.. no wonder suicide also happens after such a deed cause of those some elders mentality that the crimninal is less blamed then the victim themselves

sometimes i feel sorry whille watchin old movies. where the mother and father throw the girl outa the house after such things...soem anil kappor n ashwariya movie..(Thats the only movie i liked Ash)

It's very disturbing to read two responses here, Sad and sorry you guys had to go through such situations. Debate is whether abuse known individuals be reported Or NOT?

Lets us not discuss personal experiences on this particular topic. Debate is whether abuse known individuals be reported Or NOT?

Editing posts here, PM dev Tania.ganguly OR raj5000 OR any GMS online, if need be. No questions or concerns on post will entertained.

Please focus on the topic in broader term. Thanks!

I totally agree. This is indeed a serious topic. Nowadays kids in school are given counselling and good education in dealing with the issues and plenty of ads are also made for the TV.

I do undestand however that it is very hard to talk about any kind of abuse that has esp. included a family member or a medical doc. But I can assure you with good guidance and counselling this can be overcome and it need not leave deep wounds.

Cheers!

I never come on the debate mansion and thought i will check it out today!

"n interesting came upon this topic. Couldn't help but respond.

Being molested by an insider is a very traumatic experience for anybody be it a gal or a boy. Kids who are really young don't know who is too blame in those situations and they generally feel that they are at fault.

I think with parents being open to discussions abt such serious issues and supporting the kids through the ordeal will really help heal those wounds.

That said and done, as a mom, I also take precautions and do not expose my daughters to any danger by blindly trusting all retired desis (or videshis as I have only videshi neighbors) in my community or all of our friends and relatives here or back in India. I do not let them stay overnight with any one except our parents.

Gauri, I 100% agree with you. I added something in red. I had written here long back that even in India I was not allowed to just run out of the house and played till I dropped and I don't allow my daughter either. Someone then asked me if enjoyed childhood. 😃 I did and am glad that my mom was very careful and I am too. It is our foremost responsibility to keep our children away from such dangers. That is why I am critical of teens on internet, chatting away with uncles and bhaiyyas and their parents are so ignorant of internet dangers.
