A wave of outrage has erupted outside Cambridge School in Noida after a three-year-old girl was reportedly assaulted by a staff member. The child’s mother alleges that the school’s management failed to protect her daughter, claiming there were multiple lapses that enabled the assault to occur twice.
The incident occurred on October 4 when the child was taken to a locked medical room. After the child screamed, the assailant reportedly escaped. Initially, school staff dismissed the child’s complaints, attributing them to inappropriate online content.
In response to the growing anger, parents gathered to demand accountability and transparency from school officials. “We need to ensure our children’s safety,” stated one parent, calling for urgent action from the school.
Authorities have arrested the alleged perpetrator, a 30-year-old housekeeping staff member, along with two school officials who failed to report the assault. The Child Welfare Committee has issued a notice to the school, insisting on stronger safety measures.
This alarming incident highlights the critical need for enhanced safety protocols in educational institutions to protect young children. Parents are calling for immediate reforms, emphasizing that the safety and well-being of students must always be prioritized.
