INTRODUCTION
Objectives of Mithuru Piyasa (MP) were expanded to provide a better service for a wider range
of victims of GBV such as suicides, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, mental illness etc. First we
developed a team and introduced a new system called “Red Dot Identification System”. Main
objective of the system is to identify the causative agent or “Red dot” of the problem. To illustrate
this brand new concept following 5 cases were selected from 2328 visited a Mithuru Piyasa for
help.
OBJECTIVES
To assess the importance of “Red Dot Identification System” (RDIS) for Mithuru Piyasa to resolve
social problems with medico legal significance.
Case-01:
Father suspected that child’s sexualized behaviour could be due to observation of the acts of
mother’s extra-marital partner. Mother identified that her grandmother using the child for
abnormal sexual activities. The “Red dot” was grandmother.
Case - 02:
■ Mother faced frequent desertion by her partners and neglected the child and the reason for
desertions was her schizophrenia following postpartum psychosis. The “Red dot” was mother.
Case - 03:
Daughters used to sleep with mother. Father developed morbid jealousy. The “Red dots” were
daughters.
Case - 04:
The reason for quarreling was morbid jealousy syndrome of husband and the “Red dot” was
husband. •:
Case - 05:
A child was repeatedly produced following assaults by neighbours. Family was about to divorce.
The child had hyperactive disorder and the “Red dot” was the child DISCUSSION
By identifying the Red dot, Mithuru Piyasa managed to counsel, arrange treatment or solve almost
all problems. Further, could keep their families together or helped them to separate peacefully.
CONCLUSIONS
It was realized that there was one person or “Red dot” who instigated all these family problems.
This reiterates that the proposed “RDIS” is an effective method of solving family violence and
should beexpanded to other hospitals too.
