My girl child was shown pornographic material by


18-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My girl child was shown pornographic material twice by the neighbor tuition teacher. She is 16 years old and the female teacher is 35. nI want to lodge a complain, but I'm worried about what will happen to my daughter. Will she be called in the court again and again? going to police station and court can really hamper her studies. she is very bright and studious. Her time will get wasted and these two years are her crucial years. nDo children have to go to court? nI want this woman to be held accountable, but I'm afraid how the legal proceedings will affect my child. I'm very stressed. What punishment will the teacher get in such a case. what should I do. I did not expect this to happen. She was studying maths from her.

The teacher need to be charged under POCSO ACT.

Pocso act has different kind of modus opernadi considering the benefit of child.


Her identity shall not be disclosed. And under pocso provisions, the procedure is not as same as routine court procedures.

you must immediately logical complaint with the nearest police station mentioning the details of both incidents.
the police and courts are both sensitive to the issues of vulnerability of child witnesses and the situations are handled with atmost care to the needs of the child. therefore legal proceedings should not stress out your child.
the teacher would be adequately punished for her crime and more importantly would be exposed and any such future incidents can be avoided.
should you have any questions feel free to contact me

yes you have the exclusive remedy under prevention of children from sexual offences act and under juvenile justice act.

she don't need to come again and again in court. but only in her recording of statement

under section 11-13 complainant to be made to police or if police not take any appropriate action then we can apply before session court

The case falls under POCSO Act, and the punishment prescribed is an imprisonment upto three years alongwith fine. Generally, in cases like these, police are very careful not to commit errors. Social workers from NGOs are involved and all other practical ways to deal with a child victim are employed. I cannot comment on how you perceive things for I understand how difficult it must be fore a father, but I can tell you that what is just, must be done for the overall benefit of the child and for vindication of her agony.
