Being a witness to a traumatic or violent event can have a very deep impact on people, especially children.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even if child may not be physically hurt or involved in the event still he could be psychologically affected by a traumatic experience. Hence, prosecution could not be faulted in view of the fact that victim was terrified and under lot of stress after the incident of sexual assault upon her,&#8221; it observed.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well being of children has a direct bearing on growth of society as they are a &#8220;supremely important asset&#8221;, a Delhi court has observed while sending a youth to three years in jail for sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl.
