In a shocking incident, a class-VII student of a private school threatened to rape his teacher and her daughter. The student issued the threat via a post on social media. The traumatized teacher's daughter has not been able to attend school since the threat was issued. Adding to the scandal, another student of standard eighth, from the same school, audaciously asked a teacher out for a candlelight date and sex.
After the two incidents came to light, the private school issued a statement that read, "This is an incident involving a lower middle school student allegedly indulging in an offensive and highly objectionable cyber prank involving a teacher. A thorough investigation was carried out and stern action was taken, including suspension along with mandated counselling. The school has a zero-tolerance policy towards such acts."

In the first incident, the daughter studied in the same class as the accused. A report in the Time of India quoted child welfare committee chairperson Shakuntala Dhull as having commented on the two incidents and stated, "A notice will be sent to the school and children. They will be called and asked about the entire incident. Counselling sessions will be taken of the school authorities, including the teachers and kids."
Experts are of the belief that with ingreasingly digitalised lifestyles, it is crucialthat parents regularly monitor their children's internet usage and limit their exposure to explicit content.
