Cases of child abuse rising in Ghaziabad schools | Hindustan Times Ghaziabad, November 07, 2012
2 kids molested in I’puram schoolBoth are three-and-a-half years old; 25-year-old caretaker arrestedGHAZIABAD: Two pre-nursery students — both three-and-a-half years old — were allegedly molested by a caretaker of Mother’s Pride school in Indirapuram in the national capital region. Police arrested the school caretaker, Sher Singh, on Tuesday. About two months ago, the driver and conductor of a school bus were arrested for allegedly sexually abusing a six-year-old girl student of DPS, Vasundhara. The molestation case came to light on Tuesday, when one of the children refused to attend school. When her mother, who happens to be a teacher at the same school, enquired, she said the caretaker had molested her and a classmate during recess. The girl also told her mother that the caretaker had done this quite a few times and warned them not to mention it to anyone. Twenty-five-year-old Singh has been employed with the school for the past three years. The victim’s parents claimed to have reported the matter to the school authorities on Tuesday morning and were assured by the school authorities that immediate action would be taken. But they alleged that the school authorities did not report the matter to the police till late evening. Gorakh Nath Yadav, station in-charge of Indirapuram police station said, “We have arrested the accused and booked him for molestation. Police will investigate the role of the school authorities in the matter. Both students have been sent for the medical examination.” He added that police investigations were underway and they were questioning Singh, who would be produced in a Ghaziabad court on Wednesday |
In September, a six-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted by the driver and conductor of a reputed public school in Vasundhara. The incident had led to a huge public outcry. Due to public pressure, the school authorities had finally admitted their mistake.
An inquiry had also been ordered by the district administration into the incident. However, the girl’s parents withdrew her from the school as they were not assured of child’s safety.
“Such cases are on the rise. The administration has to ensure that all kids, especially girls, are safe in schools. There is no fear of police among criminals.
School authorities must also be held responsible for the incident,” said col (retd) TP Tyagi of the Ghaziabad RWA Federation.
Acting swiftly, senior police and administration officials have already ordered an inquiry into Tuesday’s incident to be conducted by the district’s basic education officer.
“The inquiry will bring out all facts. If found guilty, action will be taken against school officials. We will also seek an explanation as to why no female caretakers were employed for the children,” superintendent of police (SP) SS Yadav told Hindustan Times. Police sources said that the accused has admitted to his crime.
Revealing more into the incident, senior superintendent of police (SSP) Prashant Kumar said though there were reports about two girls being molested, only one girl’s parents had filed a complaint.
“If anyone has more complaints, they can freely approach the police. As of now, there is no need for the girls’ medical examination,” the SSP added.

It is indeed a good idea to provide live video access to parents. This way, not only school will keep a watch of every movement but also parents can give their valuable feedback. Ultimately we are working towards bright and safe future of kids. Parents and school need to work as a team.

Yes, not sending our children to schools will not solve the problem.... I really urge on more transparency between parents and school ....
My daughter is 2.5 yrs.. started going to playgroup ..... I have 2 options
1) to stop her PG now
2) to be more vigilant
let me see wht is decided..

Its a heinous and disgusting act and no leniency should be awarded to the criminals involved in it.
Some suggestions to add to those given by Avdhesh:
Although it is assumed that schools keep the identities and credentials of every employee hired, but once hired they cannot regulate their employee's behavior. For this they should hold meetings with each and every level of employee on timely basis telling them about safety and other such measures they need to adhere to and fetching details directly or indirectly from them by asking what all they do to conform to those. Most importantly making it clear in every session that they would be heavily and severely penalized and scourged if anything goes out of the route.This will at least instill a sense of fear in employees if they are tempted to wrong doing.
Secondly, on timely basis one on one meeting with kids in a friendly way to ask them about their surroundings ,if something or someone is bothering them and what they like and dislike about school .There could be multiple ways to win the trust of kids.Once won, they would at least be less hesitant in speaking out their problems. As parents in all these cases were active, and asked their kids when they saw some change in their behavior, so can teacher or counselor at school be friends with them and take them in their confidence.
Meanwhile we as parents need to open up with kids and and tell them in casual way that if someone does behave arbitrarily, they should always come and tell them.
These measures are more of psychological in nature and we all need to play our part in giving our kids the most secured environment.
Kindly bring to notice if I have missed out on any -ve or +ve point for these measures.

@ Vidhushi
You are right.
Friendly caregivers who are trained in child development, early-childhood education or a related field should be appointed.
Schools should conduct criminal background checks to ensure trustworthy staff and passionate teachers who provide the best care and education for children.

Very Shocking news! Parents are panicked at the other end. School's director should take full responsibility of the kids at school. This School is running just for business collecting huge fees by tracking from birth of the child and then by conducting baby shows. These serial incidents clearly indicates the lack of child care, supervision and child safety rules. I Mount Litera Zee School is far better than Presidium for child care and child safety.
We should provide children with accurate, age-appropriate information is one of the most important things parents can do to make sure children grow up safe, healthy, and secure in their bodies.
Teach Preschool children (less than 4 years some Basic Information
Boys and girls are different
Accurate names for body parts of boys and girls
Babies come from mommies
Rules about personal boundaries (for example,keeping private parts covered, not touching other children’s private parts)
Give simple answers to all questions about the body and bodily functions.Safety Information
The difference between “okay” touches (which are comforting, pleasant, and welcome) and “not okay” touches (which are intrusive, uncomfortable, unwanted, or painful)
Your body belongs to you
Everyone has the right to say “no” to being touched, even by grownups
No one—child or adult--has the right to touch your private parts
It’s okay to say “no” when grownups ask you to do things that are wrong, such as touching private parts or keeping secrets from mommy or daddy
There is a difference between a “surprise”--which is something that will be revealed sometime soon, like a present—and a “secret,” which is something you’re never supposed to tell. Stress that it is never okay to keep secrets from mommy and daddy
Who to tell if people do “not okay” things to you, or ask you to do “not okay” things to themFor Young Children (approximately 4-6 years)
Basic Information
Boys’ and girls’ bodies change when they get older.
Simple explanations of how babies grow in their mothers’ wombs and about the birth process.
Rules about personal boundaries (such as, keeping private parts covered, not touching other children’s private parts)
Simple answers to all questions about the body and bodily functions
Touching your own private parts can feel nice, but is something done in privateSafety Information
Sexual abuse is when someone touches your private parts or asks you to touch their private parts
It is sexual abuse even if it is by someone you know Sexual abuse is NEVER the child’s fault
If a stranger tries to get you to go with him or her, run and tell a parent, teacher, neighbor, police officer, or other trusted adult
Who to tell if people do “not okay” things to you, or ask you to do “not okay” things to them.

What the hell male staff is doing inside the school premises ...
I want full freedom for parents to walk in anytime they want (one by one accepted) to look around each n every corner of the school and this should not be delayed.. Cameras along with this will surely help .. dont give any warnings that we are coming / no permissions.. no forms to be signed just go in...
Show the id and get in to see ur child.... aftre all they are our children and not their source of income... Please call each other anyone who feels something fishy... We cant stop like this
These people take a lot A LOT of money in the name of security , hygiene and all.. Damn it , is this their security...
How much will a cctv installation cost these guys... ..why is it being suggested by us to install cameras.. why school admin cant think of this .....
We should be more vigilant and frequent visit to atleast see our children from somewhere as what they are doing (physically or on internet) should be mandatory.... This is India or some gundaraj?
Definitely parents should freely approach the police but i fail to understand why parents and the victim afraid of police and social drama and not the criminals... I dont know so can anyone explain what is it that will be done with shameless sher singh? will he be released on bail to go and attack other blooming flowers? or should he be left to public for actual punishment.... where are his parents and his sisters ?
BUT I still wonder how the accused got all that courage to do that all alone in school premises with a teacher's daughter? are some more people involved in this ??? Please think...
