Highlight on Child abuse


Dear Editor:
The article published in yesterday’s newspaper (29th August 2007) was not sufficient enough to create a drastic impact over a critical issue like child abuse.

The writer expressed feelings for the victimized children. The sentence which said, ‘Dark are those eyes, still shining with broken lights’, created empathy for those children who were brutally abused. Picturing the trauma the children are going through and how they can speak without uttering a word from their mouth, but from their eyes.

The writer should have emphasized more on the heartless men who dared to show such a deviant sexual behavior. Inform the people of the consequences and the charges that they can face. And most importantly create awareness in the society to teach their children how to protect themselves from such men.

Will it be possible to get some to these social criminals out in public and create examples?


Or will this tragedy continue to hinder the society with such evil people surrounding it?
