In Mumbai, child abuse begins at home

In Mumbai, child abuse begins at home. And I think its not just Mumbai but many other cities where such incidents happen. Apart from this these are just a few which we know of and rest are lost in the busy and MEAN world.

The debate my mind is having over this is "Should the parents be allowed to do all this as they are doing it for a kids good future" or "Its just unacceptable to punish kids so heartlessly".

I remember the day when i was punished for whole day bcoz i had not done homework for last six months and I was successfully able to hide it from parents and teacher(i was not the naughty one but I just hated history). My teacher kept a pencil between my fingers and pressed my fingers hard. Ouch!!!! it was very painful. This was done a few times, can't remember the count and then was asked to stand outside the class for whole day. I was quite ashamed for week everybody in the class, in the school bus and all teachers were dicussing about me. Since that day I never missed my homework come what may. And beleive me I'm thankful to my history teacher for what she did.

But, but, but does that mean punishment should not have any limits. I strongly resist. Punishment should be such which should make u feel bad about what u have done and not give pain forever. Thinking of all this I was thinking should the American Child laws be applied in India. Will our Indian society ever accept such laws for safety of a child???

Kya hoga is desh ka

Read this article on mid-day(a mumbai daily). I was amazed to read the kind of things that happen in our country. Police is supposed to protect but here they harres. If you ask anybody why? You'll get a reply bcoz they don't get enough salary to feed them and there family. Then what is the solution? To harras ppl and get money. Problem is no one knows the solution. I muself try to think of something but cannot. I wish someday I'll be able to thimk something bcoz i don't want my country to grow like that.
