Imphal, July 29 2013:
Reacting to the media report of girls rescued from Jaipur Home being sexually exploited by the administrator Jacob John, the parents and guardians of rescued children claimed that the hymens of their children got ruptured during the medical tests held at Ukhrul District Hospital and the accused Jacob John had done nothing wrong to them.
According to a joint statement issued by the concerned parents and guardians of the victimized children, the parents and rescued children have never complained to the authorities about rape or sexual exploitation against any individual.
However, without the consent of the children and consulting their parents, the rescued children were subjected to forced medical tests at Ukhrul District Hospital on April 25, 29 and 30 this year thereby violating the privacy and rights of the children.
The children reported to their parents about the horrendous incident of the medical tests when the doctors inserted their two fingers on their (children) private parts.
The children cried out in pain and agony, but they were told to shut their mouth by the doctors when they protested.
The Children also narrated to their parents that the doctors even handed out some ointment to be applied on the affected parts.
Besides one child got severely injured during the medical tests that she could not control her bladder for few weeks and she had to use pads all the time.
They were also given both tablets and syrup, the joint statement said.
The parents and guardians further questioned the authorities if any medical test was conducted at Jaipur or New Delhi when the children were rescued and transported.
They demanded the reports if such medical tests were conducted there.
Questioning the veracity of the medical report which said that the rescued children were diagnosed with early signs of pregnancy, the parents and guardians demanded the authorities to give the details of their pregnancy.
The parents and guardians further decried that such false reports published in newspapers could affect dignity, integrity and career of the victimized children.
