What could possibly prompt a human being to burn a three year old baby with cigarettes, to mercilessly beat the child to the extent of breaking his bones, to starve him of basic nutrition for two long months. This is the face of a man whose conscience is unmoved at having tormented three year old Sanyam. Kailash Yati, Sanyam’s stepfather, said, “I told her to do whatever she wants with the child, to either keep it or give it to one of her relatives. I had no wish to keep the child. If I wanted to keep the child, I wouldn’t have brought him.” Arrested after TIMES NOW exposed the savage manner in which he tried this innocent life. Nidhi Jain, Sanyam’s mother, said, “He used to lock me up in the other room and beat him. Whenever I would plead for his life, he would wouldn't listen and say that he would kill the child someday.” While his mother Nidhi can feel safe with the knowledge the tormentor is behind bars for now, baby Sanyam’s story not hers’ alone.
In Adilabad - parents of three month old Ayeshu who want to sell their new born baby girl for Rs 1 lakh because they say they’re too poor to take care of her. In Gunia, Madhya Pradesh - this one day old baby was born in filth attacked by animal’s right in front of a hospital. And in our country's capital - this little brave heart Falak’s still battling between life and death.
“The state is under a constitutional obligation to see that there is no violation of the fundamental right of any person, particularly when he belongs to the weaker section of the community and is unable to wage a legal battle against a strong and powerful opponent who is exploiting him,” says Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. The din of protests only grows louder with every instance but the larger question remains, can no one ensure the safety of these children.
