 Topic : Child Abuse

This is a short video for making our children aware about child abuse. 

Childhood is the primary stage of life. It knows no worry or anxiety, no good or evil. It is the period of both ignorance and innocence. The heart of a child is as pure as a crystal and it is also said that “God lives in a child”.

Child abuse is a crime which is committed by individuals who are frustrated by their own lives. Abusing a child is as serious crime as killing a person because a child is soft by nature and any abuse that he or she goes through in early stages of life, leaves a lasting imprint on its mind for always.

But some people without understanding the importance of the fact that a child is God’s gift, abuse them to an extent that their future is ruined forever. However if they are lucky enough, they are guided by a mentor in the future who changes their view of the world explaining the significance of life and expliaining the fact that all individuals are not the same.

The moment his memory flashes of the abuses that he or she has faced in their lifetime, however happy that moment might be, the child’s heart is filled with sadness.

However hard the child tries to forget or erase such memories all he or she ends up in is being frustrated. Some of the victims of child abuse lose their confidence forever and lead their lives as introverts.

Child abuse occurs in various forms. In extreme cases a girl child is found raped, some children are beaten up by their parents and at times school teachers. As a matter of fact, child labour is also a form of continuous child abuse.

A child’s motto of life is “eat, drink and be merry”. And when the child is abused, it is easy to understand what kind of memories he or she will develop.
