National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data shows that missing cases of girls belonging to age around 18 is high. According to data, a large number of girls have gone missing from Kerala this year. The latest is one Shabeena (18) from Anchalummoodu, Kollam.
Like the word rape took a metamorphism as harassment the phrase 'girls running away' with boys has assumed the form 'girls missing'. While government takes all the measures to trace out the girls, none is bothered to find the reason why these girls are absconding.
Though teenage love affair is a reason for girl missing, married women are also found missing abandoning husband and children. If one closely examines the issue it could be evident that Malayalam channel serials play a vital role in misguiding people. The present day cinema is yet another reason but the damage made by social media network is the highest.
Let us be sincere to the cases of girl missing. It is not actually missing but the girls are abandoning their present phase of life dreaming a happy future, but it usually ends up in despair. While a thorough check is done on the contents of cinema and serials, better awareness campaigns in schools and colleges can reduce girl missing cases. Nevertheless, the problem with social media sites is still in anybody's guess.
