Reading Bangladeshi newspapers has been a depressing experience. Too much crime and too many child victims.
Most shocking have been the reports on children who have been tortured to death.
A 12-year old by was killed by three adults who pumped air through the boy's rectum since he had left his job at their garage and went to another employer.
A 10-year old boy was found dead after his neighbor alleged the boy for stealing fish from the neigbor's fishing net.
In addition to fatal cases the papers have daily news about child violence.
A 12-year old boy was beaten so badly by a teacher that the boy was hospitalized for his injuries. An adult neigbor raped a 12-year old girl while the girl's mother was at work.
Sadly, domestic violence is very common, too.
During the last few days two women were killed by their husbands. In the first case the husband had four wives and the murdered wife complained of the co-wives.
In the other case the husband demanded money as dowry. He beat her dead and later hung her body to make it look like a suicide.
