A 12-year-old girl was sexually abused for over two years by 30 people, including her father. The incident came to light in Kerala's Malappuram. The girl is a Class 7 student.

Locals alerted the Parents’ Teachers’ Association members of the school where she was studying and the teachers started noticing that she was constantly missing her classes. Soon, the information was handed over to child-line authorities.

When volunteers at the child-line counselled the minor, she revealed horrific details of sexual harassment.

“In connection with the incident, Tirurangadi police have charged case under various sections of Protection of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and took two persons, including the girl’s father,” said a report by The Times of India.

The girl was produced before Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Mallapuram on Saturday and was sheltered at children’s home in the town.

On Sunday Tirurangadi police registered a case regarding the incident and the survivor was produced before the magistrate to record the statement. According to Anwar Karakkadan of Child-line Malappuram, the girl is only child of the family which is staying in a rented house.

“The girl has revealed that she has been abused for the last two years. Their house was frequented by many persons including her father’s friends. The number of people increased during school holidays,” he told TOI.

Anwar said that the girl was forced to skip school many days due to the pressure from the part of father.
