locality, her teachers complained that she had started zoning out. The mother of the child
informed this to the support person and trauma therapy was started for the child.
During the child’s monthly check in with her support person, the child told the support person
that a few weeks after the FIR was filed, police personnel had come and called her out of
class for verification of her birth record as a result everyone in her school got to know about
her abuse. Thereafter they started calling her “POCSO”. Due to the bullying, she dropped out
of school for 2 months. She was currently enrolled in tuition classes as she was unable to get
admission into another school.
Concurrently, the landlords also got to know about the assault and did not want a sexual
assault survivor to be staying in their house as it would bring shame to them. They were
asked to vacate the house in 10 days.
