Just when I had thought I had heard the worst possible about mistreating/molesting women, I read this absolute shocker of a news - a man in Bombay was sentenced 10 years for, hold your breath, raping an 18 month old baby!! What kind of a sicko does something like that? (The only good thing about this was the the father of the man helped the cops apprehend his son and eventually his testimony got justice done). But the question is: 10 yrs of imprisonment enough? Will that stop such future acts? What needs to be done to root out this evil? This and many such instances in the past are not a good sign, I fear for the society in general.
And Bombay of all places was considered to be the safest city in India, esp for women and kids to venture out alone even late night! The Marine line's incidence, the new year's even incidence and this one have completely shattered that image.
Too angry to continue, but something on which everyone needs to reflect, I think.
