Stop child abuse

We often see news reports about incidents of child abuse and harassment. A few days ago, a four-year-old named Pias was tortured in Raipur, Lakshmipur because he allegedly stole a mobile phone. The report was so disturbing that I could not read the full text. 

Many children are tortured in their own home. Those who work outside are also sometimes treated harshly. Despite the fact that the apex court banned physical punishment of the schoolchildren, the cruel practice continues, and not just in schools. For our children to grow up properly and lead the nation in future, we must show love, affection and compassion towards them.
