In this modern Era with thousands of inventions, discoveries and human got as much progress as once wished or imagined, but it is a bitter pill to swallow that yet human is tied in the web of ignorance, yet his devil’s eyes go toward the flowers of somebody’s garden, yet he becomes so cruel to ruin somebody’s life. Child harassment has become so common and it is one of our today’s problems in which teenage are not secure, even the age of 13 or 14 get harassed, tortured, and killed. The main reasons behind child harassment are poor socialization, illiteracy, and weak sanctions.

One of the biggest reasons for child harassment is poor socialization. It is the process of learning which starts from birth till death in which a child learns from family, neighbors, school, and some other places. The first socialization begins from home through that a child learns from their parents and other family members and he understands the rights of people and guidelines to spend this life politely and kindly. It is the socialization that can make them scientists or thieves and socialization is too powerful without this human behaves like animals. when they become animals then they make the children victims. Unfortunately, some are not well socialized so they become barbarians towards children.

Illiteracy nourishes ignorance and selfishness in humans. It engulfs wisdom and gives darkness from which we see nothing and do some acts which are unbelievable and unbearable. Human has born with empty minds if it gets replete with education then it brings wisdom to that person and it differentiates the rights of women, neighbors, relatives, siblings, children, and many more. It would bring happiness, peace, and harmony in this world, but we have lost the way illiteracy sparked hatters and greed among people and they become so ignorant even they don’t see the innocent faces of children and go toward harassment. 

Fear is the most important tool to stop somebody from some evil. The ones who go toward harassment should be given such punishment that the rest of the culprits should have cold feet for such crimes. There should be some strict sanctions that must intimidate the doers from doing such kind of activities and make them feel that the sword of Damocles is always hanging over their heads so that their feet get halted going through harassment. 

Lastly, harassment is a contagious disease that spread over a city or a country if the citizens remain illiterate and don’t get harsh punishment. In the end, we should be very conscious regarding this and protect our children and nation.
