Suraksha

Abstract

Child abuse or child maltreatment is physical, sexual, or physiological maltreatment or neglect especially by a parent or other caregiver. Child abuse may include any act or failure to act by a parent or other caregiver that results in actual or potential harm to a child, and can occur in a child's home, or in the organizations, schools or communities the child interacts with. Though this is a serious threat prevailing in our society, no proper measures have been taken so far to eliminate this issue from our society. As an educated youths of the society we propose a system named "SURAKSHA" : An Android Application for Child Safety that could possibly reduce child abuse that is going on in our society to greater extent by monitoring the geo-location of the child via a Mobile Application and an Embedded Device that will be fixed on the child and the Device shall include special kind of sensors that could sense unusual activities and thus notify the same to the parents regarding the same.
