Days after 2 minors raped, Goa CM asks parents of rape victims why were their daughters out on beaches at night

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that the parents of teenagers need to introspect as to why their wards hang out on the state’s beaches after dark, on Wednesday, July 28.
Sawant was responding to accusations leveled by the Opposition MLAs, who had alleged a breakdown in the law and order situation in Goa after two minor girls were allegedly raped on the popular Colva beach in South Goa on the night of July 24.
“Ten children went for a party on the beach. Out of the 10, six returned home. The remaining four, including two boys and two girls, stayed on the beach the whole night. When a 14-year old girl spends the night on the beach, the parents too have to introspect, they too should be taking care,” the Chief Minister said in his reply to a calling attention motion moved during the ongoing Monsoon Session of the state Assembly.
“It is also our responsibility. Just because children are not listening (to their parents), we cannot leave all the responsibility to the police,” Sawant said.
