NEW DELHI: India is fast earning itself the dubious distinction of
being a country unsafe for its children with an alarming 24% increase in
crimes against children in 2011 compared to the previous year. Nearly
33,100 cases were reported in 2011 against 26,694 cases during 2010.
Uttar Pradesh accounted for 16.6% of total crimes against children in
2011, followed by Madhya Pradesh (13.2%), Delhi (12.8%), Maharashtra
(10.2%), Bihar (6.7%) and Andhra Pradesh (6.7%).

We all should feel ashamed that such a thing is happening in our
country indicating that our love for our children in on the decline.
This not only happening in our country alone. This has become alarmingly
global phenomenon. I was participating in a debate among on child
rights in Germany years back. I was surprised to know that in Germany
the crime against the children is quite high. Besides, the Germans are
doing the same thing in other countries. The general underastanding is
that those adults who were the victims of the crime in their childhood
are the the main culprits. This must be true in India as well.
This is a rising spiral. Please note that the children who are victims
of in their childhood will grow up to commit crime against their own
children. When will this stop? And How? Is it part of our Million
Development Goal(MDG)?
