Incest, Child Abuse - Shame Of India!!

the crime relating to child abuse and incest remain hidden behind  our hypocratic social setup and thus are rampant in our society.

It is submitted that either there is no law on such issues or they are too old to embrace the situation( for example Sec. 377  of the IPC is the only law relating to child abuse but that would need the act of sodomy for punishing a person, the result is other acts of child abuse are left out of the purview)

Further incest is considered more a moral wrong than a crime and so it is often hidden.

The need of the hour is stringent and specific law on the issues . This needs to be coupled with a change in social mindset that such act need not be hidden but should be punished. 

There are many people who do not wish to face the reality of child abuse. Pretending that the problem does not exist, or that your child is too young to be warned about the dangers, are both ideas that would make your child more vulnerable. A child who is not forewarned about the dangers of abuse is a soft target for a pedophile.  
 
It is easy to warn your children about strangers who might harm them. Considering the fact that most molesters are friends or relatives, it is a very difficult task to teach them to protect themselves from the people they know, love, and respect. Nevertheless, it can be done.

Government and NGO Organizations should educate people to avoid this problem. Also they can amend the law for bigger punishment. Also this is more of psychological problem may be family dispute, etc. For no reason child should not suffer.

when the child says something. you might get an important clue, in the case of child molestation it is not the unknown danger, it is a usually someone who the child knows and trusts.

By the way who told you that India top?

predators of pedophilia are western men, at least that is what we see in goa.

Children may not know all the technical terms. However, they have an inbuilt instinct when something wrong is done and a very strong sense of what is wrong and what is proper. Teaching a child to follow his/ her instincts and say a firm 'No' to an abuser, could prove to be very effective.
