“I Play This Game With Chacha.” This 5 YO’s Confession To Her Mother Will Pierce Your Heart!

confession

India, they say, is a developing country. Before you mistake me for a cynic, allow me to delve into something that concerns you, me and all of us. Yes, it is true we are trying. It is true that the Supreme Court did its bit by upholding the death sentence for Nirbhaya’s  Jyoti’s criminals but the sad reality is, in the following days, there was another daughter who was gang-raped, mutilated and crushed to death because she refused a marriage proposal!

And it pains me, even more, to say that, age is really no bar.

A 5-year-old girl in Lucknow was abused by her own uncle, in her own house. In a gut-wrenching story, as told to Richa Srivastava of Hindustan Times, the ordeal of her mother will shake your faith. 

“I used to be busy in the office with no idea of what my five-year-old was undergoing at home. I had my reasons for being free of worry. We lived in a joint family, so she was never alone. There were grandparents, cousins and uncles and an aunt at home with her.

Then my daughter got unwell.

She also started preferring to stay in our room instead of playing outside. When I asked her the reason, she complained of pain in her private parts and stomach. I thought it was due to season change and advised her to keep her private parts clean and drink plenty of water. Little did I realise that her problem was something else altogether.

One day, as I was showing her a video on ‘good and bad touch’ on my mobile phone, she suddenly said, “I play this game with chacha regularly.” Even as I was taken aback, I again showed her the video and asked her about the ‘game’ in detail.

She said that the game was called ‘demon and monster’. All cousins would hide and whoever found the hidden people would be free to do whatever he /she wished with them. So, as all other children hid themselves, my brother-in-law sexually abused my daughter, telling her that it was a part of the game.

When I told my husband about it, he did not support me, so, I decided to fight it out on my own. My brother-in-law’s despicable actions had left my daughter in pain and affected her mind too. It took months of counselling to bring out the fear from her mind, but I am sure she will carry the scars all through life – never forgetting what happened with her.

When I confronted my brother-in-law, he admitted to everything and apologised. My mother-in-law said he had “committed a mistake” and that I should forgive him. But I could not let him go unpunished. It was necessary to bring out the devil from his mind else he would continue to target children.

So, I got an FIR registered against him. He was arrested and remained in jail for two months.

Today, all my family blames me for raising my voice against my daughter’s abuse. They sympathise with him and have put in a lot of effort to get him out on bail.

The family is trying to prove he’s a juvenile to help him escape punishment. But I know he isn’t a juvenile and will continue to fight for my daughter even if no one supports me.”

Has humanity really left our midst? Can we really not save our daughters?
