India's Corruption

Today's paper led me to one place : "Abuse Case Rouses India's Middle Class to Take On the Powerful"
In the article the story of Ruchick Girotra who was a promising tennis player of 14 and was molested by a senior police official who also held the position of president of the state lawn tennis club. She threatened to press charges but was harassed so much that she committed suicide and her family is still scrutinized.
This story of people taking advantage of their power happens every day in every country around the world and it so revolting that higher ups protect other higher ups because it seems once you reach a certain level you can do no wrong.
I don't understand how people can take advantage of innocent children, children that don't know if someone will believe them if they talk, that don't know if the threats of death from their abuser are real if they talk. It truly breaks my heart to read something like this.
I'm so glad attention is being brought to such corruption and I hope it starts a series of events that will put these despicable human beings behind bars for life.
