Girl stripped for forgetting homework

A SEVEN-year-old girl was made to strip naked by her teacher in a New Delhi school for not completing her homework.

She was made to strip completely naked and stand on a desk in her class on Friday while other students were asked to boo her.

"The teacher was arrested on a complaint by the parents but she has been released as it was a bailable offence," Rajan Bhagat said.

"This is barbaric," Shanta Sinha, head of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, said in a newspaper report. "No one has the right to outrage the modesty of a child."

The commission had issued a directive this year barring schools from calling students "stupid" or "mindless".

A government study backed by the United Nations Children's Fund said earlier this year two-thirds of children in India are physically abused, mostly at home and in schools.
