I am so hurt. Every person who can think is hurt. Parents are more than worried and shocked. Parents of daughters are in phobia. We are so unfortunate, we are living in a world where a nine-month-old baby girl is not safe. Yes, I am talking about the whole world. This small struggling country is showing a portion of the filthy reality. Child rape is in on increase. But why??? What could be the possible solution?

On social media, a common post is everywhere that states, “Don’t let your daughter sit on the lap of her own uncle.” Every time I see the post I remember my uncles. If they were not there I would not be sitting here today! I remember the day when my mother took me to my uncle to get checked as to what was wrong with me. I was nine years old and having a hard time sleeping. He was a pediatrician, he told my mother to wait outside.

My mother took it casually. He took me on his lap and talked like my father. My father was abroad. He felt the trouble in my mind and eased that! To me, uncles are just another flavor of my father to me. Every time I saw the post, “Don’t let your daughter sit on the lap of her own uncle” I felt so irritated. I hated the statement that was insulting uncles.

Today I will keep an eye on every uncle who will come to take my daughter on their lap! Such a disgrace!! Is my mind becoming dirty or is itsociety? I wonder. The nine-month-old baby girl was raped by her uncle. I was shocked. I read twice the news to believe it!! This kind of incidents is no exception anymore that we can ignore. This is common and vigorously increasing. I am feeling sick writing about those pedophilic teachers, here. Struggling to forget the face of the baby girl who was killed after rape.

Everyone is finding a solution. I read a proposed solution today that school-girls need to be taught about rape and its danger! Oh my God! Isn’t it absurd? Why should we push fear in the minds of those innocent babies! It is wise? The fear will crush their thinking ability. The fear will play with their trust in the male.

That girl-child will be critically vulnerable in her thinking. This will hamper girls’ education and creativity. They will be afraid as hell. Again disgusting! But this disgust is like an unavoidable burden in parents’ minds. Today they have seemingly no other way but to teach their girl child about rape. I look at my baby girl, I feel my lung is full, I can’t breathe.

It is better to say to our boys not to rape than to say to girls not to get raped. Create separate sex education for boys. Teach boys why and how to lower their gazes. Teach boys not to turn on seeing every woman. Teach boys it’s ok if they get turned on by seeing a woman. Turning on does not mean boys need to have sex. Teach boys how to calm down early in their adolescence. Teach them men are physically stronger than women, enough to protect women. Teach respect. Remind them of religious restrictions.

Availability of porn should be a concern, I guess. In the last ten years, such availability has increased very dramatically. Porn never shows reality. It creates a fake impression of sex and violence. I think increased availability of porn is aiding rape somehow. Controlling the availability of porn is already due.
To minimize rape everyone should give effort. Start identifying in your family, who is sick in their head, who has gone out of control. Take action.  Save our baby girls.

We are in a very critical situation. I think young mothers will not get a good lifespan. Their worry will kill them soon. The worry starts at breakfast, from the glass of milk.

They hardly get pure milk for their child. They hardly get chemical-free fruits for their babies. For the last few days, they can’t sleep even, they are always tense about their baby girls. Where is a rapist? How to save my girl! Whom to trust! All the mothers should be in their soundest mind, they deserve it.

Examples of brutality have already been made. Examples of cruelty are as easy as pie. I hope to see a bold example of justice tomorrow morning. I can’t breathe, I got a baby girl.
