Can We Save Our Kids?

I know this comes a bit late but these incidents had left me numb in my senses.

A spate of grave sexual abuse incidents of kids in Bangalore and the rest of the country has left most of us shocked, shaken and in utter disbelief. How could someone stoop so low? How could someone subject the kids to such torture? 

How could the perpetrators of such crime not see the innocence of those kids, the helplessness in their eyes and the pain in their screams? How could they do something as gruesome and as heartless? How could they….

The shock and anger does not subside. 

Worse it comes from people on whom kids put their maximum trust. Sometimes the perpetrator is a teacher, sometimes a school staff and at other times close family members. And even worse it happens at places which the kids thought was most secure - school and home.

Recent statistics (read link) destroy you from inside and  you start to lose faith on humanity itself. 

However we cannot give-up, for the sake of the kids. 

But we have to rise from the ashes and protect our kids, all kids from such demonic cannibals. 

A need for moral revolution is sourly felt. Moral corruption of the society could be devastating.  Unfortunately it is so rampant that the horizon appears dark. Hence moral discourses cannot be the change maker. Often the people who deliver such discourses are the ones who have been found to be doing nefarious activities in the garb of being Godmen.

Then what? Frankly I am clueless...Can we protect our kids? How?
