Rapist bus driver workd at school for 14years
Dubai: The bus driver accused of raping a four-year-old girl on a school bus was employed with the school and its transportation service provider for 14 years, Gulf News has learnt.
The conductor of the bus, among the three suspects arrested, was with the school for seven years.
The Indian child, a pupil of Modern High School, was allegedly raped on November 11.
The parents notified police on January 9.
“She is scared at night and doesn’t want to sleep. Our daughter never told us what happened. The stains on her clothes made me suspicious,” her mother said.
"My daughter is scared and can't sleep"
"She is scared at night and doesn't want to sleep. Our 4-year-old daughter never told us what had happened. The stains on her clothes made me suspicious," the mother of a kindergarten pupil who was allegedly raped by the schoolbus driver and two conductors, said.
"She only confided in us after we spoke to her based on medical reports that confirmed that she was raped by three men," the Indian homemaker, who hails from Delhi, told Gulf News. The girl has not gone back to school since the alleged incident took place.
"Our family was shattered beyond words when we found out."
On November 11 the Modern High school, where the child attends kindergarten, was celebrating children's day.
"She usually comes back by 10.15am. I called the conductor to find out what time the bus would reach near our home in Karama and he replied that they would be on time."
A few minutes later, the conductor called back to say that she need not come to the stop and that he would call her once they arrived. "But I felt uneasy and went down anyway and informed the conductor that I was already there," she recounted.
"By 11am the bus arrived. I asked my daughter how the day went, but she did not mention anything."
While the mother changed the child's clothes, she saw they were stained and asked her about it.
"She just replied — nothing. I put away the clothes in the laundry bin. Thankfully, I didn't get the time to wash them for the next 4 to 5 days," she said, adding that she cannot imagine the situation if she washed the clothes and the incident had gone unnoticed.
The child now complains of bad dreams.
More signs
The child's father told Gulf News: "We have gone through hell. We have met people who wanted to brush this under the carpet and those who genuinely wanted to help us."
The second sign for the mother was when the child passed urine in her clothes. "We were visiting a family friend when it happened. My daughter asked my friend not to tell me about it and looked scared," the mother said.
"It seemed strange to me, since we hardly scold her."
Two days later, when the family went to a park, the child dropped a mobile phone and looked petrified when she picked it up. "The culprit must have threatened the child is what I gather now," the mother said.
Although the mother raised her concerns with the father, he dismissed it. "At that point, I felt no one on earth could do something so heinous to an innocent child," the father said.
But the mother made it a point to visit a gynaecologist the next day with the soiled clothes. The girl had worn casual clothes on the day, since the school was celebrating children's day.
"The doctor confirmed my worst fear. It was semen on her dress," the mother said.
The same night the family flew to India to seek medical attention. The parents reported the matter to police only on January 11, two months later.
"We should have gone to the police earlier. But at the time my priority was to protect my child. I did not want her to go through the trauma again.
"I have got tremendous support from the police. Today I feel differently — I should have gone to them earlier," the father told Gulf News. The father said that he does not blame GEMS, which runs the school, or the transportation company for the incident.
"We approached GEMS on January 5 and they encouraged us to report the matter to police. We blame the culprits only. We want justice for our daughter," the father said.

was it sensationalism by the parents? Did they want to hide something? Were they out for some gains???
There seems to be a twist in this story now

The Court of First Instance presided by Judge Fahmi Mounir Fahmi has acquitted three men - all Indians - of the charge of molesting a four-year-old Indian schoolgirl on the bus home from school.
The alleged incident dates back to November last year. Earlier defence lawyers Samir Jaafar and Hussein Al Jaziri argued that the complaint was malicious and that the case lacks proof. They also questioned the fact that the police complaint was filed 59 days after the alleged molestation.
The verdict is open to appeal in 15 days.

"An Emirati student faces four months in jail for taking his compatriot schoolgirl into his friend’s bedroom and kissing her while sleeping, ruled a court."
Huh?
the entire story is disjointed.... none of it makes any sense.
If She is my daughter I will kill them with my own hand.
Oh Allah, They deserve to be kill 1000 times in front of the girl. To feel safe for ever. poor girl.
After clicking on the link to the whole story, I cannot believe how lightly such child abusers are being punished--sometimes a matter of months. Evidence shows that a child molester almost never reforms, so letting them go after a few months just means that they will find more victims until they are caught again.
I'm not one for the death penalty normally, but in cases such as these I'll make an exception.
Nope, killing him would be too merciful. Cut his manhood off. He should live his life always being reminded of his heinous act.
I would kill him myself ... cut his throat with a knife!! I won;t hesitate doing that! sick bastard!! I hope they hang him infront of everybody so others will learn a lesson.
Poor Girl! She needs to start seing a shrink for a many years.
Ohh God,she's only 4 years old..these men are crazy..!
probably this sicko doesn't know the word Masturbation.
chop off his butts.
Shocking beyond belief
Dese Men ... She was just a Baby ..What made dem so on ?
A dirty Incident .. Feels bad to think even ... Dose Bastards must be Hanged !!
Scary!!
But the fact is, it’s not the first or the last incident, it happens all around in almost all societies, bloody dark side of human beings!!
Sad!!
their babu rao n finish the matter
OMG what the hell has happened to the world. The poor innocent soul. I felt so sorry to read even.
Kalin - "Maybe things like these should remain hush-hush. Who will marry this poor girl after all"
a comment from the article in emiratesnews, how could this idiot say that this should be hush-hush, FFS!
Reading the different papers, the parents' story is very strange ..
The mother gets confirmation of semen on the dress but does nothing.
They visit friends where the child wets herself.
Then they go off to a park where the child dropped a mobile phone and looked petrified when she picked it up.
Mother raised her concerns with the father but he dismisses them ..
All very strange :O(
These men are wild animals.Atleast the mom could figure out .What about other children?These men should get worst of the worst punishment.
are the kids safe anywhere?
Their organs which they used to molest an innocent child of 4 years should be chopped off. Heinous bastards.
wth she is just a 4 yrs kid..poor child..mf need to be buried alive ...
Bastards.. Hang them to death.
If the bus driver a.k.a. Rapist work at school for 14years- how many little girls did he molested???? God forbid I hope not.
bastards should be hanged under the pole without water and food for months to die.
i can understand that the parents had felt helpless, angry, numbed, confused, whatever. me, i don't know what i will do if i'm in their shoes.
No words... I am completely numbed....feel choked reading what the child went through... ... she is just a 4 yrs. child... how could someone!!! these bas***ds shouldn't be spared...
Brite- I thought as much. The parents didn't act decisively.
well a better option than hanging
cut off their reproductive organ and hands and leave them to rot in jail until death
Poor little thing.. They deserve to be hung.
This shows the dangers lurking out there.
The parents are a little screwy also .. According to the Khaleej Times - "However, the parents, apprehensive about highlighting the issue and having problems with the school, decided to go to India."
i hope they rot in hell!!!!
Poor Child ! :(
Sick bastards.
Where are we headed? Hope culprits get what they deserve.
scary news
hang the culprits in public
