Since the news of another child sexual assault in Bangalore broke out, I have been intrigued by the fact that no news article quotes the name of the school, or rather chain of schools, involved.
Reading this article - http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/bengaluru-play-school-sexual-assault/1/888888.html - made it painfully obvious that the coverup is deliberate. The article names three staffers other than the primary accused. It also names three other Bangalore schools where child sexual assault has occurred in the past.
Other coverage of the incident also carefully omitted the school name - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/cops-arrest-pre-school-principal-officials-under-pocso/articleshow/57280186.cms, http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/Playschool-sexual-assault-case-Three-more-arrested/article17343064.ece
The deduction is obvious - this chain must be Kidzee. No one other than Subhash Chandra can manage the media so effectively.
So I Googled for "kidzee kingston d'souza", which promptly threw up this: https://twitter.com/kidzeeindia/status/577030807409156096
And here lies the burn. This tweet is about Kingston D'Souza, regional head of Kidzee in Karnataka, who was recently arrested (and promptly bailed) under POSCO for the sexual assault of a young child within a Kidzee school by a Kidzee staffer.
"Mr. Kingston D'souza teaches the #parents about good touch & bad touch with the help of a demonstration #BecauseICare"
He teaches the parents, it seems. I suppose he forgot to teach his own staff.
We speak of the separation of the "church" and the state. We should also speak of the separation of media and business. Since all media houses are brethren, none of them are naming Subhash Chandra or Kidzee in this fiasco.
