I read in the Hindustan Times dated 23rd March ,2011 that a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) has been filed in the Delhi High Court by lawyer Sanjeev Sabharwal. The PIL is said to be based on a News Report, " Delhi Kids on Dangerous high" published in the Hindustan Times on 16th March, 2011. The Petition asks for restricted access of:
1. Eraser Fluid
2. Naphthalene balls
3. Pain relieving balms
4. Nail paint remover
5. Paint thinner
Later in Hindustan times dated 4th April, 2011 I read that the petition filed before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court has asked the Government and Schools to take steps to check Inhalant abuse among children.
In my opinion parents as well as School teachers DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT INHLANT ABUSES..
My effort is to bring into the notice of school teachers and particularly parents to know much more about this epidemic which has brought in front by renounced lawyer Sanjeev Sabharwal.
All this was started when some students of a school were caught on CCTV inhaling Eraser Fluid. What is this Eraser Fluid and what other fluids or materials are being used by the children , why they use it, what are reasons , parental duties and the responsibility of teachers is going to be discussed in the following chapters. Before discussing all that I wish to say
Taking a clue from the press report I thought of bringing into the notice of all concerned with the welfare of our future generation the real reasons and problems because of which the youngsters are inclined( In my words forced) to adopt intoxicants as a solution of their problems generated within the family and School. It exists in behavioral disorder among teens. Many specialists, many experts, many surveys and many studies conducted at the cost of hundreds of crores of rupees may not be able to bring forth the actual reasons for behavioral problems of young children.
Given the Indian conditions of living the children in a joint family there are plus and minus benefits. In case of a joint family the parents of a child are not so alert, educated or sensitive to the activities of their child, there may be others who are more alert and sensitive towards the behavior of young children. In such a family the early symtomps of any kind of intoxication can be detected at an early stage and preventive measures can be taken care of. But in case the Indian family is a nucleus one and in addition both parents father and mother are working persons such detection of any kind of intoxication is difficult to be detected in its early stages.
