Experts connect an increase in sexual attacks in children for the mindset of sick perpetrators, inadequate vigilance by parents and lack of police actions in many cases.

Parents must also keep an eye on their movements and activities.

The family must immediately report cases of sexual violence to the police.
The police must immediately register this case, arrest the defendant and gather strong evidence to ensure confidence.

Every negligence by the police will encourage rapists, “said Sidharth Das, said a senior lawyer.
