Stop child abuse at any cost
Abuse of children is a reprehensible crime. It is extremely shameful that we have earned quite a bit of notoriety when it comes to abusing children. One may recall the many horrific incidents in which children were abused and tortured. A recent report by The Daily Star about a homeless boy set on fire by an unknown man filled me with fear and anguish. Are street children so neglected that no one even bothered to notice a crime of this magnitude being committed?
Apart from physical abuse, the increasing number of child rape incidents in our country is another big worry for us. If the existing laws cannot prevent sexual abuse of children, then the authorities should implement stricter laws to protect them. It is extremely important that we take the matter seriously and do whatever is necessary to ensure a happy and healthy future for all children.
