Sir: Child abuse is one of the serious and currently increasing issue nowadays that facing world.
There are many forms of child maltreatment including physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation and emotional abuse and the reasons are many. According to reports, last year in 2018, 3832 child sex abuse cases are registered. Most of the victims of this abuse were street children. Parents who do not care about their children also face such trauma. Our social culture is always preferred to be silence over incident.
Basically, its poor attitude of parents who don’t bother to watch their children activities neither bothers to have a check upon child’s friends circle.
Parents should give time to their children so if they are suffering from such issue they can share it with their parents.
