"Some Wounds Don't Heal"

Child abuse, not only a physical or sexual but an emotional harassment of a child , is the most recent crime that has taken a toll all over the world.

How can a person with a sane
mind be so ruthless and 
inhuman to a child? How can a person stoop so low as to not spare a child who is considered to be so pure, so godlike?

In most countries especially India people were not and are still not aware of such an act. Such cases are mostly suppressed by families because  they generally involve relatives or friends associated , and in some cases the family knowingly tries to avoid action because of the societal pressure. Child abuse can occur at home , or in the organisations, schools or communities the child interacts with. There are four major categories of child abuse : neglect , physical abuse , psychological or emotional abuse and sexual abuse. Child abuse leads to lack of trust-building and can create relationship difficulties in children . They get trouble regulating their emotions and tend to become an abuser when they grow up because they have faced brutal situations in their childhood.

It is high time we realize that this is  the biggest offence that can be committed in this world where humanity still exists.
Children must be made aware to protect themselves and act in the required way. You can become aware of child abuse by recognizing these signs in your children like unexplained injuries , fear of going home, changes in eating, sleeping disorder, changes in school performance, inappropriate sexual behaviour . In the last decade, Bollywood movies like PAGE 3, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE ,HIGHWAY highlighted this issue effectively leaving a marked influence on the audience.

Also children going through this should be given special attention n counselling so as to overcome their fears and live a happy n free-spirited life. 

In 1996, CHILDLINE INDIA FOUNDATION (CIF) launched CHILDLINE, the country's first toll-free tele-helpline for street children in distress.
CHILDLINE 1098 SERVICE is a service initiated by this foundation so as to help children in the need of the hour.
