Child Abuse in India Under Hindu Rats
By Sid Harth
Dog Shit eating goddamned Hindus of America want piece of me, mostly from the hind quarters, so decided our ding bat guru, idiotboy, snake oil vendor, feces fascist fakir, fucked up phony, Dr. Jai Maharaj. What can I say, Hindu hoodlums love him, that includes your Poona Brahmin cabal.
Pigs would fly and the hell shall freeze before they succeed, I assure you. The Hindu mongrel dogs of America deny the reality. The child abuse is a mountain of a problem in holy Hindu hoodlumland, a sewer called India. Don't look at me as if I broke any law.
India World article dated May 20, 2000 originally from the Free Press Journal lays it down, make it down and dirty, the secret of feces fascists' ass on fire. Here we go again:
Sexual abuse of children on the rise!

NEW DELHI: Children are being increasingly targeted for sexual abuse in the capital with even young boys not safe from such depredations, show cases being reported at a crisis intervention centre for rape victims here, reports UNI.
Dr Ranjana Kumari, whose Centre for Social Research (CSR) has been designated as an intervention centre for rape victims by Delhi police and the Delhi commission for women (DCW), said the centre had come across three cases of minor boys being sodomised and killed in the past three weeks alone.
A number of rape cases involving minor girls had also landed at the CSR, she told UNI.
"Earlier, parents were scared of leaving their little daughters alone, but now even boys are not safe. Specially vulnerable are children living in slums or on road sides," she added.
Observing that the growing incidence of such perverted crimes reflected the health of the society, Dr Ranjana Kumari said in the three sodomy-murder cases, all reported from Najafgarh area of south-west Delhi, the suspects picked up by police were young boys in the 20-22 age group.
"The police can only pick up and prosecute the accused but it is for the community at large to take steps to prevent such ghastly crimes from taking place," the activist, who is also the general secretary of the Mahila Dakshata Samiti, said.
In this context, the decision of Delhi police and DCW to work alongside NGOs was a welcome step, she added. The CSR was selected as a crisis intervention centre for rape victims in south-west Delhi two months ago.
"While the local police has been calling us when a rape case is reported, we can see that they find it an inconvenience. It will take time for such initiatives to take root at the ground level," she added.
The CSR, which has been running a hotline and five counseling centres for women in distress since 1987, has also been involved in training police personnel on issues of gender sensitivity. While one such workshop for 20 middle-ranking officials was held last year, another one involving 800 policemen is in the offing later this year. "It is mainly a question of changing patriarchal attitudes. A policeman who thinks a woman deserves to be thrashed for questioning her husband is obviously not going to be sympathetic or even impartial in a case of wife beating," Dr Ranjana Kumari said.
However, the activist is equally clear that the rising graph of crime in Delhi cannot be checked till the community at large begins to play a more active role. Regretting that the middle and upper class in the capital is "too insular," Dr Ranjana Kumari said they should be made to feel more socially accountable and responsible.
"Social and community pressure can be really effective in checking crimes such as child abuse and violence against women," she added.
Realising the importance of political empowerment, the CSR has been actively supporting the passage of the women's reservation bill. It is also running a "Parivartan Mahila Swavalamban Samiti" project under which rural women self-help groups are set up for income generating activities such as goat rearing or fish farming. Efforts are also being made under this project to train women 'panchayat' members in accounting and administrative procedures.
"In so many `panchayats' in Uttar Pradesh, women members are being given a tough time. No-confidence motions have been brought against them or their views are not taken into account. There is a yawning need to train these women, who have the will to do something, to fulfill their role," the activist added.

Parental Violence Against Children in India

The susceptibility of children to abuse and neglect has been in the Indian political consciousness since at least the early part of this century with the passage of the first Children Act of 1924, which called for the protection of children against cruelty and indignity. Furthermore, the present Indian Constitution has several laws to guard the rights of children.
However, because many of the problems children face in India are in the areas of health, nutrition and education, most governmental and private social service agencies have, of necessity, focused on their basic survival needs. On the whole, consequently, there has been very little attention focused on the abuse of children in the home, and there is very little awareness, both in the general public and among human service providers, regarding the extent and severity of abuse among children in India. Furthermore, traditional themes of the sanctity of the family, prerogatives of parents, and children viewed as parental property have protected abusive families from inspection and intervention by society.
Cross-cultural differences in child-rearing practices make it clear that there are no absolutes regarding optimal care or what constitutes child abuse, therefore child abuse may best be understood when viewed in light of three interrelated conditions - the behavior of the perpetrator, the effects on the child, and the perception of the observer, each of which has been empirically studied in India by the writer.
Beginning with the belief that if abusive behavior is not perceived to be so by society, the phenomenon becomes a non-issue, the first study compared the perceptions about the seriousness of different forms of child abuse of human service providers with a group of persons not involved in the provision of such services. Findings revealed that the responses of the two groups were similar, suggesting that a majority of human service providers were not any more sensitized to the issue of child abuse in India than was the general population.
Using Murray Straus’ definition, a subsequent study of the self-reports of 313 college/graduate school educated, middle-class professionals indicated that, in the previous year, 56.9% had engaged in ‘normal’ corporal punishment, 41.9% in ‘abusive’ forms of discipline, and a surprising 2.9% in ‘extreme’ forms of violence with their children.
In a third study, 515 children between the ages of 3 and 19 who were admitted to a detention center in Bombay were interviewed at intake over an 8-week period. Of these, 258 indicated they had experienced physical violence at the hands of their parents. Given what is known of the tendency of children to protect their parents, the setting in which the interviews were conducted and the time of the interview (upon intake), it is highly unlikely that parental abuse was underreported. One hundred and fifty six of these children indicated that they had run away because they could no longer tolerate the abuse.
The first two studies begin to reveal that although Indians may not have given much thought to parental child abuse, it may be more prevalent than the society has been willing to recognize. Since corporal punishment has so long been intrinsic to child rearing in India, professionals who might be in a position to intervene, but who are themselves a product of the society, may not perceive such practices as destructive. Clearly, however, although corporal punishment may be considered appropriate in the discipline of children in India, it is not necessarily acceptable to the children who experience it, and one effect is that they run away from home.
This is a significant finding that has implications for Indian society, but to which the country has paid little attention. While the Indian public and Indian social services are increasing outreach and intervention programs to the growing numbers of street children who live in poverty and become enmeshed in criminal activities, less effort appears to be placed on understanding what causes, other than poverty, contribute to the presence of these street children. That so many of the children brought to the detention center within a 2-month period reported abuse as the primary reason for their presence on the streets suggests that child abuse should no longer be called a family matter that can continue to persist behind closed doors.
Some professionals in the human services in India are beginning to recognize the need to direct attention to the effects of the intrafamilial maltreatment of children, which in the West has been found to be correlated with intergenerational abuse, juvenile delinquency, crime, mental illness, teenage pregnancy and a variety of psychosocial difficulties in adulthood.
