@Wahab these things have always been there in the background and silenced, due to culture and society. It is better now that this is coming out in the open, that is the only way to get justice and end this type of barbarity.
Expect more of this coming into the light.

This happens every where in the world, it is a mental illness called paedophila but our news media is blowing it out of proportion as to make the foreign Ngos happy that want to salander the image of our beloved country.

We are the most corrupt, most unreliable, the most unethical, the most backward and a nation without any morals. Let us admit it and only when we admit it; we will do something about it. Then why do we all have a chip on our sholder?. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Nothing surprising. All these utterly horrendous things have been happening all along, the difference is that bcs of increase in population the number has increased and the discovery and reporting has increased.
However, this said, we must step down from our perception and glory of being the best in all respects.
We are very low in many respects.
Lot of this can go away with building a welfare state where the father is not being beaten around to arrange two meals for the family or the females of the family are forced sell themselves (my mistake), even the educated find it hard to get gainful employment.
Strict population planning.
Thanks.

Moral deficiency. Lack of education. And education dies not mean masters and PhD, but education if right vs wrong.
Our society have abused women and disregarded their education. An educated mother will raise a child with morals and ethics.
Pay attention around each of us and see if we are raising kids with education in morality, or too focused in materialistic education.

@Waqas Amazing assessment, since it happens everywhere in the world, problem solved, media can ignore all. See, child abuse with such impunity doesn’t happen anywhere else in the civilized world. World is much safer place for children. Please work towards improving the society rather than defending heinous crime.

What is going on in Pakistan? Is there any city in Pakistan that can claim it is peaceful, there is turmoil and chaos all over. Muslims although gained independence from the colonial rulers more than fifty years ago, yet we are unable to run and govern our countries, the current crises indicate that we are paying a heavy price for not having "rule of law" govern us. Our dysfunctional institutions, crimes, and corruption have lead us to decay and our enemies are taking full advantage of our follies.

@waqas, a very dangerous thought. You want to live in a make believe world where u believe everything is perfect and all that cry out for help are just anti nationals who want to defame the country. So many of the establishment has tirelssly worked to keep this make believe image. We don't want your false love for the country. We truly want a better and more accountable country.
