Mother of 'raped' four-year-old alleges that the school is not being booked as it is 'upmarket'
Expressing her outrage in her complaint given to Delhi Police, the mother of the four-year-old Dwarka school rape victim, said it had been a restless night for her and her child, who kept on narrating the gruesome ordeal she had undergone.
The woman has demanded action against the school administration alleging that it was their "negligence" that had led to the crime.
It was on Friday when the child had reported pain in her private parts to her mother, which was initially overlooked by the woman. However, later on, when she noticed injuries in the girl's private parts, the woman approached police and a medical examination confirmed rape. The child had also hinted to her mother that she was sexually assaulted in school, after which the parents gave a written complaint at Dwarka south police station and an FIR was registered.
Talking about the alleged negligence on the school's part, the woman said, "At night I sent a message to her school teacher informing her of the incident. In the morning, I asked the teacher and the school coordinator, but they did not take any interest in the matter. I spoke to the principal but she did not bother to answer my calls in the morning and even did not respond to my emails. She instead passed on the number to the school counsellor," the mother said.
Talking to DNA, the woman also said CCTV footage points out that her child's teacher left the class to the ayah (woman help) and that the victim was the last one to walk out of the class because she could not put on the hook of her pants that the boy had opened. The mother also alleged that since the school is an "upmarket school", it is not being booked for any negligence by the police.
"The police are apparently going after the classmate, but the school is allowed to go scot free. How could it happen in the first place? If that boy has been booked under POCSO, why can't this so-called upmarket school be booked for criminal negligence?"
"Police is all out to defend the school knowing well the boy is a juvenile. But the school's criminality needs to be established. The school should be booked for scarring my innocent child for no fault of hers and letting something like this to happen in the classroom," she said.
The mother further asked that when she had brought it to the notice of the school, why the authorities didn't call the police or hospital?
"They didn't try to meet the child or me when my child was being medically examined at a hospital and from there taken to a police station to file an FIR. How convenient for the school to pass the buck of this gross negligence to the boy and his upbringing," the mother said.
