Don't even think about it. This is one reason I felt she was better left the way she was. Rehabilitation in India is a joke. The people attending to her neither have the knowledge not resources to cater to her. Mental asylums and health centers in India are filled with sexual predators. They know that she can't complain about it nor would someone lend an ear if she tried to say something. Which makes her an easy target. Sexual abuse is the norm in mental health centers here. Most mental health centers lack infrastructure, resources and fall short of trained personnel. It is a common sight to see patients chained, and thrown food at. My first reaction when I heard the news - She was better in the forest away from the predators. I hope she gets the right sophisticated care and compassion she needs at this point of time.

I think you have been watching too many movies lately. Your blanket statement about health centres is far from the truth.

  It's not all that far from the truth in the US. Why should India be different?

A naked girl running through the wilderness isn't exactly safe from sexual abuse and predation.

  Sounds like she had a cadre of monkeys protecting her. That would probably deter all but the most determined sexual predators.

    Heh, that's what I was thinking.

  I don't know... she was protected by a group of monkeys. Seeing monkeys on Planet Earth I'd say that is some pretty solid protection.

    Until some of the male monkeys decide that she's a good enough substitute for a female monkey. We're not the only species that produces rapists.

      Well I was going to say even at 10 she had probably already discovered that but she also probably developed a different concept of rape and sexual assault.

From the administration, to hospital staff, to law enforcement, everybody's only motive right now is/would be to get some circus time and then get rid of her somehow or the other. I've lived all my life here and though I am not sure whether you are from here but when I read, "Rehabilitation in India is a joke", my first reaction was it's an understatement!. Or she might as well be treated as a guinea pig in the guise of "research".
