Toddler and five-year-old girl gang raped in India

A toddler and a five-year-old girl are in hospital after being gang raped in separate attacks in India’s capital city.

The two-year-old girl was found lying unconscious and bleeding in a park by her family three hours after she went missing in a western suburb of Delhi.

Police said she had been playing outside her home on Friday evening when there was a power cut in the area and she was reportedly abducted by two men on a motorbike.

The five-year-old girl was gang raped in a separate attack on Friday evening in Anand Vihar, east Delhi. 

wo suspects, who were known to her family, were tracked down after she returned home crying and told her parents what happened, the Hindustan Times reported.

Members of the public who found the men allegedly beat them before handing them over to police.

Three men arrested in relation to that attack were being questioned as the two children remained in stable condition in hospital this morning.

Swati Maliwal, chair of the Delhi Commission for Women, called the crimes “absolutely disgusting”, asking on Twitter: “When will Delhi wake up?”

Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, met their families today and challenged the government to intervene.

“Repeated rape of minors is shameful and worrying,” he wrote on Twitter.

“The Delhi Police has completely failed to provide safety. What are the PM and his LG (Lieutenant Governor) doing?”

A series of recent attacks has renewed public fury and horror over India's inability to halt endemic violence against women and girls. 

Only a week ago, a four-year-old girl was found dumped near a railway track after being raped and slashed with a blade. 

She underwent surgery for extensive injuries following the attack in a Delhi slum.

India's National Crime Records Bureau says more than 2,000 girls and women were raped in New Delhi in 2014, although the crime is thought to be under-reported

Rape happens everywhere.. But child rape is an abhorrence.. I don’t really see how the police can provide safety… What is wrong and how do we address the problem ?

Humbles, then shame..... shame on the leaders, police and people. You say nothing will change... but change can only happen, when people act together. You are just few that lost hope in your country. If everyone was like you, than your country will be doom to fail and raping will go on in your country....shame on you.

Humbles, you obviously don't have a daughter. Do you want your daughter to live in fear, when she goes out and playing with other kids, knowing that there might be a rapist around the corner. Raping a toddler or anyone is not a human and doesn't deserve to be one.

@Riyal2Rupee, so why is the circumstances around you in India condone rape. Why can't it be a friendly and safe environment. Rape can happen in other countries too, but why so much in India. From locals to tourists. Who is making it easy for these moron to act on chance. Something needs to change, the solution is Marshall Law and Public Execution. Let it happen, see the results.

Agree with MM, one must be responsible for her/his own safety by keeping in the view the circumstances around you, blameing others after the mishap has no use for the victim.

I don't think India been really strict in this regards!

I don't know if it really happens more often in India or it's just the media that focuses on them!

However, this has to be solved by putting the right punishment for that, maybe Geld them!

I think you need to be really sick to rape a child!

I got a report on my comment, who is supporting rapists? This has gone too far in India, tourist and local women being raped and the Indian Ministers and Police don't do anything about it. What kind of world are they living in, when they don't take action on child rape...people should wake up and push for a change. If Marshall Law and public execution helps the country to rid of these things and post a better picture for the country, why not? Its not like Marshall Law and Public Executions are not being used in some countries. Think!

Is the government at fault for being too lax in sentencing ? Are the police not doing their job ?

Such types of crime are a result of a sick mentality or a paranoia. It has nothing to do with religion or any particular nation. Religion attempts to stop such actions by terming it as something that offends God, is a grave sin, and thus punishable in the life hereafter. Then there are man-made laws in every country that come into play to deter such actions. These laws are used to punish such offenders and keep them off the streets. However, the judicial system in most countries especially the non-developed ones move at snail's pace leaving an offender languishing in prison for years. The time spent in prison may actually desensitize many offenders to the threat of future imprisonment. Possibly, if the judgement is pronounced swiftly, and such cases are given exemplary punishment such as a public execution, it may help in sending shudder down the spine of such offenders-in-the-planning and help in greatly lowering the rates of such painful incidents. An example of such a system of quick justice and immediate implement of the judgement is that of S Arabia where this form of crime is rarely heard of.

it is sure that the people who indulge in these types of crimes are not in their right mind. I think they must be under the influence of drug or alcohol etc. Now a days even children are exposed to all sort of x movies. for these people, they don't care if they get death penalty. we are aware of drug lords in other countries who are willing to do anything. Drug addicts are willing to do anything to get supply of drugs. Why does terrorist self explode killing other people?

It is nothing to do if Indians consider cow as mother as somebody has pointed out. To understand many concepts in Hindu religion, it need higher lever of understanding and thinking.

In Saudi the maid's hand was chopped off, why? Many maids suffer. recently there was a case of GCC embassy people kept 3 girls and exploited them for many months , but they escaped from India.

We all agree that this incident is very cruel, but all rapes are cruel and all victims suffer till their end of life. We should not promote the idea that rape is because the girls did not dress properly, but no man has the right to abuse another person whether it is a girl or boy. many boys are also getting raped in many parts of the world.

for a while I have been thinking that there is a link with such crimes and bollywood. in recent years bollywood has become more and more sexual. nobody who knows bollywood can deny this. I think this is a subliminal cause. Poor and socially unaccepted people who see these hot chicks and the glitz and glam on the screen and posters know they will have no chance ever to obtain anything like that and resort to perverted and criminal alternatives.

dont get me wrong - i am not making excuses. however, nobody can deny that from what once a family wholesome entertainment industry - bollywood movies are no longer family sit down together movies. this transition happened in a very short space of time - too short. the sexualisation of bollywood evolved faster that real life in india.

you have to be a fool to not think bollywood does not influence in india where actors and actresses are literally worshipped.

Only Religion can educate ...No human can teach you right and wrong. What is right for you may be wrong for other. May be the person who raped might think what he did is right. Foget the rape, consider dressing....A lady can show her navel in India...(when she wear Sari) but this is not the case in Britain, where she can show everything except the navel....

Women or witnesses should be granted the right to kill the person or group trying to rape. Kill them then n there. They don't deserve the right to live anymore. In that case, there will hardly be 10 such incidents. If our great forefathers could gain us Independence after all long struggles, I think we should do this for the future generations. This is comparably easy as I dont think any parent will support rapists.

India used to lead the world in terms of Moral values.

But now it has the largest list of uneducated people and uneducated leaders.

Any Indian can incite communal calamity.

Some Indians killed another Indian for eating beef...After investigation it was found he did not eat beef.....But even if he ate beef...what's the issue...Some Indians drink cow urine...Some Indians eat cow dung and Some Indians say cow is their mother...un educated people. If cow is their mother the is ox their father...un educated people... and animal Origin?

There are several incidents in which cow has attacked people, (search youtube) . If cow is the mother of Indians, then in this case (of attacking people) how did the mother cow forget the child.

Educating the Indians is very necessary. But please note the top most intelligent People in the world are also Indians. But they do not live in India. They have obtained another citizenship and left the country. The remaining intelligent people are planning to leave the country at the next chance. The effect is India is left with foolish people.
