I found this while I was checking a friends blog and accidently bumped in to this..

 

Molestation is an ugly word. But still everyone needs to know what it is. Touching and exploiting someone sexually is molestation. A child should always be explained what is the difference between good and bad touch. Along with this if a child complains about a bad touch it should be taken seriously and a steps should be taken against this.


Today I am saying this because I was a victim. A victim of child abuse, a victim of adolescent molestation and it continues. But I can proudly say that I had all the strength to fight this as an adolescent. 


When I was a child I went to see a doctor , a skin specialist for something which had happened on my face. I realised that the behaviour of the doctor was weird and I was at first scared. Then I told my parents and they made me feel it was ok and they just did not complain about this anywhere. The only solution they came to was : not to take me to that doctor anymore. This happened when I was in class 6th. 


Another incident happened when I was in UKG!! My neighbour a guy 6 years older to me, whom I addressed as 'Bhaiya' (brother) insisted in playing s game where he would be my husband : he tried to just touch me, I was terrified and ran away. I told this to his sister but she said I should just shut up and that her brother was mad. 


But I understood one thing , this had nothing to do with my age, my clothes or anything else. It was because of the demon in those men.


Later when someone tried to do something similar I had my answer ready. I had practiced hard, I knew how to hit so hard that any man would fall down bleeding and that is what I have always followed.


I too was a timid girl but I decided to fight and not be scared.


The best you can do is to spread the message and teach your kids what is good and what is bad and support them when they encounter anything bad.

Srinivasji.. I read this article by Darshana and her clarification later. She used small font for the introductory remarks, that too in a single line. Almost everybody mistook the message.

Thanks for referring Darshana. In today's world it is better to teach children (both boy and girl) about good touch and bad touch. Also teach them strategies to overcome if they face these kind of situations.

Thanks,Darshana for sharing a piece of information on child abuse and its antidote.Innocence never realizes the abuse and intention of a molester.The reason being the culprit is either relative or family friends.It is therefore very essential to educate children how they should behave with their cousins,uncle and strangers.

Dear Darshana,

Highly appreciated for spreading you bold message.In such cases, what i have noticed is, mostly parents are either scared to protest against of it to retain family respect or to ignore it to avoid unnecessary trouble. This really a BIG TROUBLE for any girl.  Congartulations to the person  who have not scared and decided to fight, but only alarming thing is --there may be millions of girls who are not BOLD ENOUGH and who JUST SIMPLY CANNOT FIGHT AGAINST OF IT and for that matter they are just spoiling their precious life. My observation is --- in such cases --FAMILY specially PARENTS plays a MAJOR ROLE where they have to provide a shield and courage to shout against of it. Mental strength,support, can be given by ONLY FAMILY--- CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME....
Regards--

Good Darshana,
     Whatever you have done is just good.There are many monsters living around us who don't even see the innocence in the face of children.There is a need to rise the awareness about those in the children so that they can understand what is the molestation and how to tackle with that.And please if such thing happens to your child don't hide this,just give a strong reply to the person who did it so that no other can be his next prey.

Awareness to all in a suitable forum by brave women are very important. More so the openness in our culture is yet to take more time as advocated by many.More social changes in the attitude of boys and girls from the childhood days does give a clear insight into this.
What  I can  say that all the  above are some measures that can reduce such nuisances yet we cant totally eradicate it so long as we have a very big gap of educational awareness, the cultural and social support that are equally responsible.
A good topic not only for women but also  for men to know what it really means and the impact that brings in a psychology of a person.

Thanks Darshana for sharing this insight. I thought, in this context, let me share how Joyce Meyer could cope up with these monsters.  With her distinctive voice and preaching style, Joyce Meyer is one of the more well-known Christian evangelists today. She can be heard on the radio or seen on the television for people who don't attend her church but still wish to be both encouraged and enlightened by the message that she has to share. She has also made her mark as the author of many best-selling books. Joyce Meyer suffered undeniable abuse of all sorts, starting at home as a child and carrying on into her adolescent years. She grew up to be marked with the scars that abuse always leaves and to have difficulty in understanding and developing interpersonal relationships, particularly those of the romantic sort. However, she did meet and marry a fine man, Dave Meyer, whom she eventually came to trust and engage in a loving and mutually respectful marriage with.  This didn't just happen overnight, though.  It took years of patience and dedication for their marriage to become what it is today.

Molestation is common in the society and everybody should lend a hand to eradicate this menace. This not only happens with Girls, even boys are victims of this problem.  As a young boy, I myself was a victim and could not share this to my parents, as I was not comfortable to share such nasty things. I think every child experiences such things in some way or the other. I think every child should be trained and cautioned against Molestation. Govt. has to take stringent measures to punish such crimes which often go unnoticed.  Anyhow, I thank Ms.Darshana, for raising this topic and bringing awareness among the people.

Dear Ms Darshana, What your mother has done is a matured wise thing. Not all the naughty will keep out of you, when you beat them in public. One of them will wait for the time to hurt you and the chain will keep going. Best to avoid such situations. Fact remains, until caught all are gentlemen. If great learned munis and rishis fell for this, what are these wretched. No end to this.

This is indeed a topic which is not discussed in the right manner. Steps should be taken to make children aware of the harassment.
