Child Abuse is one of the serious problems not only in India but the entire world. Though legislation for the protection of children from child abuse has been established at national and state level, the crime of child abuse is increasing at an alarming rate. Goa is a small state, but still, there is an increase in the crimes of child abuse. Due to this increase, the number of cases pending in Goa Children Court is increasing. Earlier the offenses of child abuse are tried under only under Goa children Act 2003, in the state of Goa but after implementation of POSCO Act 2012 (Protection of Children from sexual offenses), cases of child abuse are also tried under both Goa Children Act 2003 and POSCO Act 2012. The maximum punishment awarded to the offender under both this Act is 10 years. But in spite of the maximum punishment awarded there is a rapid increase in cases of child abuse in the state of Goa. The current study highlights the increase in cases of child abuse cases tried under Goa Children Act 2003 in the state of Goa.
