This is unbelievable. Is there any punishment viable for this crime if it’s proved? The Ratnapura children and women Bureau should go through the History books to find a punishment from the Gods to fit this crime of the Centuarys.

The LAW is the country is NOT good enough to PUNISH the culprits. Every successive government is SRI LANKA equally failed to enact a LAW, that is to protect the every citizen. Please implement a LAW slimier to AUSTRALIA.

All children should be counseled by religious, Teachers and trust worthy people on a regular basis at least once a month to ensure their safety.

What to do when children are not safe in homes. Such persons should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

This man should be hanged for this. It is totally unacceptable behaviour particularly in South Asia where this type of crime is not accepted or tolerated.
