Two days ago there was a news item in the media that a teen-age girl was ditched by her boy-friend who enacted a gang-rape on her. Apparently she was misguided by her boyfriend and taken to his friend's home where three more of his boyfriends were consuming liquour. Although initially she was shocked to see the boys' behaviour in a funny manner she was forced to drink and gang-raped by all the four boys and she could gain consciouness only the next evening when taken to her home by the same boyfriend. Although the police have taken 2-3 of them into custody, the shocking lesson to the teen-aged girls is that no male member whether boyfriend known for sometime or long could hardly be believed to be a well-wisher. They could be subject to personal violence anytime anywhere.
In another incident a lady officer working in a bank staying in Nungambakkam area by name Seethalakshmi (52) was strangulated to death on January 1, 2012 by a fellow named Arokiaswamy (35) for the sake of 22 soveriegns of gold jewellery.
Another shocking incident occurred in a reputed educational institution opposite Madras High Court in which a school teacher by name Uma Maheswari (39) was stabbed to death by a IX class student at 10.30 am on Thursday February 9, 2012 morning mainly to show his anger at her sending a report against him to his parents. The whole school and the parent community are agitated on this. As per reports she was a good teacher liked by everyone. But a single student literally pampered by his parents could go to the extent of killing a good-natured teacher, the mother of two children and the wife of a Circle Manager in a private cell-phone company. What a pity!
The female whether a teen-aged girl or a middle-aged mother is not safe in today's society. Unless they themselves become very cautious and adopt personal safety measures, nobody can come to their rescue at the hour of crisis or emergency.
