A tragic incident in Karnataka, India, involved a mother named Savitri who allegedly threw her six-year-old son, Vinod, who had special needs, into a canal where he was reportedly attacked by crocodiles. The incident occurred after Savitri had a fight with her husband, Ravi Kumar, who had reportedly pressured her to kill their son. Savitri claimed that Ravi had repeatedly told her to let their son die, which led to her decision to throw the child into the water.
The police were alerted, and after an overnight search, Vinod’s body was found the next morning. It was determined that he had been mauled to death by crocodiles. The couple, Savitri and Ravi, were arrested and faced murder charges in connection with the incident.
This heartbreaking event highlights the importance of increased care and empathy towards children with special needs. It also sheds light on the challenges faced by such children in finding permanent homes in India. Despite the difficulties, there are individuals like Prachi Kumar who have chosen to adopt and provide a loving home for children with special needs, emphasizing the need for awareness and counseling for parents considering adoption.
