8-Year-Old Punished by Getting Bitten by Dog
An 8-year-old boy who was employed as domestic help for a couple in Gurgaon, Delhi, India was subsequently the victim of constant physical abuse from his employers. According to an NDTV report, the 8-year-old boy was kicked several times by a woman wearing sneakers. In addition, the couple’s dog was provoked to bite the boy as punishment against the boy.
The male homeowner argued that the boy was never hit or abused in any way but was still unable to explain how the boy suffered the injuries and bruising that was found on his body. The boy reportedly lives five kilometers (approximately 3 miles) away from where he works and uses the money to help his mother and the rest of his family. No case has been brought against the couple on behalf of the boy.
This is one of the worst cases of physical abuse against a child. Allowing a dog to bite the boy is a despicable act, especially because it is used as a means of punishment for the boy. Physically harming the boy by kicking him compounds the severity of this incident as well. Nobody deserves this type of cruel treatment regardless if they are a child or an adult of any age. There is no excuse for a person abusing anybody in this manner or any other manner. This incident is compounded even further by the fact that the victim is an 8-year-old boy. Fortunately, the report states that the boy is currently in the safety of his own home with his family.
