Rise of Child Abuse in India
Childhood is the primary stage of life. It knows no worry or
anxiety, no good or evil. It is the period of both ignorance and
innocence. The heart of a child is as pure as a crystal and it is
also said that “God lives in a child”.
But some people without understanding the importance of the

fact that a child is God’s gift, abuse them to an extent that their
future is ruined forever. However if they are lucky enough, they
are guided by a mentor in the future who changes their view of
the world explaining the significance of life and expliaining the
fact that all individuals are not the same.
Child abuse is a crime which is committed by individuals who

are frustrated by their own lives. Abusing a child is as serious
crime as killing a person because a child is soft by nature and
any abuse that he or she goes through in early stages of life,
leaves a lasting imprint on its mind for always.
The moment his memory flashes of the abuses that he or she

has faced in their lifetime, however happy that moment might
be, the child’s heart is filled with sadness.
However hard the child tries to forget or erase such memories
all he or she ends up in is being frustrated. Some of the victims
of child abuse lose their confidence forever and lead their lives
as introverts.
Child abuse occurs in various forms. In extreme cases a girl child

is found raped, some children are beaten up by their parents
and at times school teachers. As a matter of fact, child labour is
also a form of continuous child abuse.
At an age when the child should attend school, he or she is

forced to work in factories, at workplaces and as domestic help
in our own houses. If we practice child labour, we are also
abusing the child, despite the justification that we are helping
the child’s family to earn their daily bread.
Childhood is the golden period of life and it is also said that God
resides in a child’s heart. Abusing a child is like insulting the
God you preach. A child has a soft heart and is free from all
kinds of worries and anxieties as a result of which even a little
misbehaviour with him leaves a permanent mark in his mind.
Child abuse includes both physical as well as verbal abuse. Even

when a child is not abused physically, there are cases where he
or she is abused verbally on a constant basis. This behaviour
affects the mental behaviour of the child to such an extent that
at times psychiatrist help is needed to get them back to normal
mental stage. Not only have such children loosed the happiness
that every child deserves in childhood but they also fail to
understand what happiness means for a child.
The memories of childhood have their own significance in one’s

life. As one grows up, one feels more and more attached with
his childhood, the best period in an individual’s life. Having no
anxieties, worries or work, a child is free from the dirty and
filthy noise of the worldly life.
A child’s motto of life is “eat, drink and be merry”. And when

the child is abused, it is easy to understand what kind of
memories he or she will develop
Extreme cases of child abuse include; the case of Dhananjoy
Chatterjee , a security guard who was executed by hanging for
raping and murdering 14 year old Hetal Parekh on March 5,
1990 at her apartment residence in Bhawanipur, Kolkata.
Aarushi murder mystery also involves the case of child abuse
where a girl was killed for no fault of hers. Such cases are
existing examples proving that demons still exist in our society
and these demons can only be killed if the individuals and the
government join hands for a fight against child abuse. We
should keep in mind the fact that if we want to abolish child
labour from its very roots we should first take oath that we will
not employ and child to help us in the domestic purposes.
Every owner of a factory should keep in mind not to employ

child labourers. The harmful effects of child abuse are essential
to be understood by one and all to abolish it completely.
