Electronic Devices to Investigate Offences of Torturing, Abusing, Molesting, Assaulting or Killing the Innocent Children

Abstract

The offences of torturing, abusing, molesting, assaulting, physical torturing or killing the innocent children are increasing day by day in our society. Mostly such offences are practiced on the young learners studying in various institutions ranging from lower primary, primary and middle level. Irrespective of the privately managed or public institution, the heinous offences occur in the schools. The torture ratio is comparatively high in village schools and also where the learners are sent exclusively for religious education. In such schools mostly the poor and orphan learners are admitted and may be the whole time resident of the schools. Another common aspect is the torture extended to innocent young female or male, who are resident servants. There are also periodical reports of inflicting torture sometime accompanied by killing. Another category of offenders is that who choose the innocent children from local neighbouring localities rape, molest, sodomise and then kill them.
