This vile sexual assault incident on kindergarten kids in a Badlapur college brought the Bombay High Court, under its suo motu powers, to explicitly express grave worries over loopholes permitting this sort of heinous crime and question the effectiveness of measures in vicinity for protecting these children. It concerned the molestation of two young girls by a group member of the house-keeping department staff. Last week, the commission of the crime sent shockwaves through the community, raising some serious questions about academic institutes and their safety protocols. The parents of the victims came out to say that the school was negligent in consideration of the duty of care due to the children, failed to ensure the child's safety, and let the offender commit the crime without being detected. While the hearing was on, the Bombay High Court immediately lambasted the investigating authorities for not doing scientific research till now. It ought to be mentioned that there happened some delays in releasing preliminary information and arresting the suspect. The judges were disappointed that the police didn't act quite fast when the victim was like this; therefore, in such cases where there is a sexual intercourse, especially where children are involved, it needs to be done right away and properly. The Supreme Court criticized the police department as much as it did the school administration. The court questioned the sufficiency of the security provided by the schools and how adequate the screening process was, more so with workers who were close to young people. By showing apparent laxity on the part of the school not to give enough attention and ensure the safety of its students, the judges felt that it had led to this dangerous situation. The courtroom ordered a proper inquiry into the moves of both the police and faculty government. The judge ordered the punishment of the culprits, including the misbehaving officers. He also asked the education department to conduct a review of security measures in schools across the country to prevent such incidents in the future.
