When something like this happens my anger goes through the roof. The child would be traumatized for the rest of her life. The person who allegedly did this must be a deranged person. What the legal system is supposed to do? Perhaps, a sentence for the offender which could deter others and some sort of professional counseling for the child. A word of caution is that the parents should never leave young children unattended.

When will this stop. What is government doing to stop this. Seriously poor people in Pakistan has no security or life. It is so sad. They gave VVIP security to foreign players for PSL but what about their own people & children where everyday they die like animals.
Shame on you government!!!

Correction. In my initial comment I suggested counseling for the child. However, if she is murdered then the counseling to child is a dead issue ,the only thing left for the offender is an exemplary punishment so it could deter others and send a message to the community.

They will rot in hell. Our hukumrans are busy in their aish o arams and the people are left to fend for themselves. A country where the only right thing is might. However, the nature's justice will be served come what may.

Cannot understand how anyone would want to rape a seven year old. That's beyond me. I can see how he would not want anyone to find out. If he has done this once he will do it again if he is not stopped.

Government of Pakistan should make it mandatory to collect DNA samples of every person residing in Pakistan and this information should be added to individual data with NADRA. During emergency this DNA data can be matched with the samples of the DNA tests collected from the crime scenes. If possible this information should also be included in every CNIC / Passport / Driving License etc.It will save time and make it easy to reach the culprits etc etc.

Is there no way to provide protection for these kids? People in every neighborhood should come together to create some kind of 'watch' to keep eyes and help small kids who are out on the streets. It's not that hard.

Obviously, the law is non existent or too weak and lenient for there predators that's why we read stories like this almost every month happening somewhere in Pakistan. Our leaders and politicians don't care about stories like rapes or murders because their families live in well protected houses and palaces and their families and children travel in cars and suvs.
