Innocence Attacked !

Wed July 25,2007 .The Times Of India, Front Page news...
'Day old baby found with 26 stab wounds'.

I read this article but i failed to reason out. If a baby gets dumped in a pile of garbage ...maybe the parents did not know that there are orphanages...but 26 stab wounds!!!
Maybe someone wanted to kill the baby for revenge against the parents or maybe the family/mother didnt want the baby whatever...nothing on earth can justify 26 stab wounds (rather even a single one!) on a day old baby...only a mentally ill person can do that.

By the grace of God, The little boy is alive!! 26 stab wounds could not accomplish what a single stab can! Thank you God for this miracle.

Shocking but true...
* November 2003, 'Borivli double murder'...ten month old is hung from a ceiling fan with the telephone chord.
* Neighbour rapes a year old girl.
* Lady burns her grandchild..calls it "an offering to God".

Everyday countless children face such atrocities. Little kids are eve-teased, molested, sodomised, raped, killed.
What a disgrace to the society that celebrates Childrens Day every year with so much hype!!
Children are defenceless...it is our responsibility to protect them and their rights as individuals.
And what are we doing about it...we talk about it for a while...condem the act...critisize the society...complain about the inefficient laws...then its all forgotten.

What if that child was you...!
