Alarming rise in child rape cases in October

These are the important issues that legislators in Parliament should discuss, debate, pass laws and take action to stop. They are wasting time on cricket accusing all and sundry and in the process bringing the judiciary to disrepute when the future of the younger generation is at stake. These girls will be mothers some day and they will carry that stigma for the rest of their lives. Their children born out of wedlock may even end up being a burden to society. This is a social problem increasing day by day while the Parliament is shouting hoarse over cricket! What a nation!

Could be due to the cold weather?

When there is no law and order in the country, these things happen! The hearing of a rape case can go on for man years!! So how can the rapist get any punishment??? Instead, he's enjoying life!!

Sri-Lanka has become a LAWLESS STATE! Child rape and molestations are committed by sickos. Those committed these crimes need to be punished by, naming and shaming and life time prison term. RW and SLPP are infighting for the cabinet posts and President elections. How can we pass laws when the Majority of the MP's are "IL-LITERATES, CROOKS and CRIMINALS"! What has happened to our country? Is there anything that we can be proud of?

The complete breakdown of the las and order of the country is very apparent and has been so for the last several years. The victims have ,in th main, been women and children. there are many perpetrators and some have been given refuge from the law. Immagine the trauma and the mental destruction and hatred welling in their minds against life in general and society. find them and burn them, those responsible.

Wat do you expect it is the culture of the country for children to be sleeping with adults until they are 25 years old !!

I find it very disturbing, that many of the commenters say that child abuse is terrible - and it is. And what about the thousands of cases where women are raped - is that not important? To me this sounds like the rape of women is well accepted in this society and no problem at all, business as usual.
