It is a late but welcome step by ministry of women and child welfare to bring a strict law for child beatings. However, who will guarantee of it's implementation ? There are already laws to prohibit corporal punishments to school children but of no use since still it is very rampant in all schools. Children are silent sufferers from the hands of theie care takers and teachers as they don't know whom to complaint and they also fear to get more beatings if they complain since they have to stay ultimately with the same caretakers. I think besides law, govt.must spread an public awareness via T.V.,Newspapers etc. not to humiliate their kids and leave the beatings. Increasing street children are the result of the harsh punishments given to children by their caretakers. Parents and teachers should be counciled how to manage their anger. It is very unfortunate that govt has to make such laws. People should understand themselves the implications of the harsh tratement given to kids which is not good for their own kids development.
