Children in poor urban areas who suffered physical and emotional neglect, violence, and sexual abuse are likely to be associated with both adolescent depression and violent behaviour, highlights a new study.
A history-sheeter has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor girl in Chennai.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed a PIL seeking directions to the Centre and Delhi government to hold a SIT or CBI investigation under the supervision of the court into incidents of sexual abuse of children and nuns allegedly by Catholic clergies.
After the report came to light a case was registered with the Women’s police station in Muzaffarpur by district child protection unit against the Seva Sankalp evam Vikas Samiti, the NGO which run the children home.
Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi said that While setting up a school, safety measures need to be on top of the priority list of the management, be it when a child is in school, outside the school or in transit to and from home.
The teens, who have been sexually harassed, are more strongly inclined to have casual sex than others.
Sexual abuse in particular forces the children to physically mature at a faster rate, which is linked to breast and ovarian cancers due to the increased exposure to the hormone estrogen over a longer period.
