Don't say it loud, keep it hush hush,
Let the moment pass quickly, under the carpet brush.
If the child utters abuse, pretend you didn't hear,
Or else attend courts, for the rest of the year.
The law that was made, to keep safe the child,
To ensure they are protected, are not predated or profiled.
By mandating a mandatory reporting, disincentivizes the shrink,
They would rather look the other way, and invalidate in a blink.
That a family member abused, is hard to admit,
With your counselor playing blind, you are at the end of your wit.
No one wants to get involved, its better to turn deaf,
Max report to an NGO anonymously, be it Childline or UNICEF.
The child has opened up after fighting, loads of stigma and shame,
If POCSO makes my life hell, and I ignore who's to blame.
