Teacher blinds student for not doing homework

HindustanTimes.com:
In a gruesome incident, a teacher allegedly blinded a nine-year-old student simply because he did not complete his homework. The incident took place at a government school in Rawatpura village in Madhya Pradesh.

According to a complaint lodged with the police on Tuesday by the victim's father, Ajay Yadav was cruelly beaten up by the teacher, Sukh Devi, on December 11 for not completing his homework.

The teacher was so furious that she poked her stick into Ajay’s right eye after beating him, the complaint said. The blow caused the pupil of Ajay’s eye to come out.

A scared Sukh Devi then called her husband, Patiram Sahu, also a teacher, for help. Patiram made an unsuccessful attempt to put the pupil back into the cavity, which further damaged the child’s eye, the complaint said.

The teacher couple then called Ajay's parents and asked them not to report the matter to the police. They promised to arrange for the student's treatment.

But when the accused did not provide any medical treatment to the child, the victim's father lodged a complaint."

'If these numbers are accurate, they show that the systems we put in place four months ago to develop a police force based on the principles of a free and democratic society are starting to

The Jodie Lane Project Responds to City Council Testimony

The Jodie Lane Project : New York, NY -- February 12, 2004. The City Council Transportation Committee held a hearing today to investigate the causes of Jodie S. Lane’s tragic electrocution death on January 16th. The testimony revealed a startling lack of oversight on the part of the Public Services Commission, charged with overseeing Con Edison’s compliance with the National Electric Safety Code, last revised in 1913. With only 5 inspectors at their disposal, the Public Services Commission relies entirely on Con Edison to report safety problems. Because Con Edison only reports incidents resulting in injury or death, the PSC was aware of only 15 shock incidents in the last 5 years. Con Edison has acknowledged that it actually received 539 reports of shock incidents in the same period, effectively admitting to misleading the PSC by an order of magnitude. It is not only this discrepancy that is alarming, but also the fact that the Public Services Commission, charged with ensuring
