She not only behaves like this with her daughter but also with her 6-year-old son. If we try to stop her, she beats them even further. So we have left telling her anything," she said. Pradeep, who lives in the neighbourhood said that the crying sound of kids is often heard at their home."Everybody in the area knows that she beats her kids a lot. She had once made her son stand naked in the winter in the lane.

The neighbors had offered clothes to the kid thereafter," he said. The Indian Constitution has several laws for preventing children from physical and mental torture by the teachers, mentors and guardians. Corporal punishment abuses and hampers the child`s Right To Freedom and Dignity, hence Article 21 of the Constitution protects the Right To Life and Dignity of any individual including the Right To Education of children upto the age of 14 years.
