2023 is the year when children in Kerala will face violence like never before. Who will our children trust?
From a five-year-old girl in Aluva to a toddler who was abused by his own mother, this year is a pain. It is estimated that 9,604 children were sexually abused in the state in the last five years. More than 200 children died. From 2016 to 2023, 31,364 cases of violence against children were registered.
The brutal rape and murder of a five-year-old girl in Aluva is the scar that marks this year. It is thanks to the police that the suspect was quickly caught and the death penalty was enforced. Immediately after this incident, the child, who was sleeping in the Aluva pasture, was taken out of the house by Thiruvanthapuram Chengal resident Krystal and tortured at night.
An unprecedented incident in Kerala was the revelation by a Class 9 student that he had worked as a drug transporter in Kozhikode’s Kittikatur earlier this year. It turned out that the customers who found out about it through the Instagram group initially received the drug for free, and then as a carrier.
The shock that the mother’s partner killed a one-and-a-half-year-old child with his knee on the ground on the grounds that it would put a strain on their life together is still felt today. Where did the perverted mind come from that ensured that there was no life left in the baby’s body? After the mother and father’s relatives refused to accept the body, the police cremated the baby.
Kerala waited a whole day without sleep for Abigail, who was kidnapped from Kollam. The trio demanded Rs 10 lakh for the child’s release. This was a shortcut that a family found to overcome the financial crisis. Afterwards, parents are afraid to even let their children go out to play.
A six-year-old girl was hacked to death with an ax by her own father in Punnamoot, Alappuzha because she believed it was an obstacle to her remarriage. The accused Srimahesh jumped off the train while in police custody and died.
A child in Kollam was abused for not doing his homework. 6th grade boy brutally beaten by tutor. The case is that the child did not cry when he was hit for the first time, but rather he got angry and then hit him again.
In our country, where there are many cribs and orphanages, children have lost their lives due to the economic crisis. It was the mother who killed the newborn baby in Pothankot Manjamala. A 36-day-old baby was found dead in a well.
In Malappuram Chelari, a neighboring migrant worker was arrested for torturing the migrant worker’s daughter. The incident occurred on August 3 this year. He took the child into the room under the pretext of playing and tortured him.
In March last year, a one-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter was drowned in a bucket of water by her boyfriend with the knowledge of her 50-year-old grandmother at a lodge in Kalur, Kochi.
At the end of the year, a 78-year-old man was arrested for raping his eight- and five-year-old sisters. Child abuse does not only mean physical or mental abuse, but also the lack of care for the child. At least next year we should be able to take care of the Kunjus without falling before they open.
