A school’s female director responded to a father’s query about alleged abuse of his child, Masoom, with a threatening remark that children are beaten daily and he could do as he wishes.
Delhi police reported that a father approached the administration of a local school seeking clarification about alleged mistreatment of his son, Masoom. When he raised the issue with the school’s female director, she replied that children are routinely beaten and told him to act as he wishes.
The exchange, captured by witnesses, highlighted a confrontational tone, with the director’s statement appearing to dismiss the father’s concerns and to threaten further action. The father, seeking accountability for his child’s welfare, was left without a clear response from the school authorities.
Local residents expressed alarm over the director’s remarks, noting that such language undermines the safety standards expected in educational institutions. Authorities have been urged to investigate the incident and ensure that school staff adhere to child protection guidelines.
The incident adds to growing scrutiny of school environments in Delhi, where parents and activists demand stricter oversight to prevent abuse and ensure a secure learning atmosphere.
