Firstly, determine the gravity of the issue. Where was this posted? Which legal authority? What is the content of your messages that she has shared? The police may call you or visit you to enquire about the incident. Please do not be scared. The police often try to talk to both parties and sort out the matter before filing an FIR. If the police contact you, do talk to the police to explain what has happened. But first, please contact a lawyer, perhaps through family or friends, who can be with you when you are talking to the police. The presence of a lawyer will prevent the police from intimidating you, using force against you, and unnecessarily seizing your devices. It should also stop them from asking for bribes to make the matter “go away”.

I am sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this situation. In India, it is illegal for teachers to physically punish students, and you have the right to feel safe in your school environment. If your parents are not acting, you can seek help independently. Here are some steps you can consider:
1. Child Helpline- You can call Childline 1098, a 24/7 helpline for children in distress. This helpline is operated by the Ministry of Women and Child Development and can connect you with counselors and child protection officers.
2. National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)- You can file a complaint on their https://ncpcr.gov.in/ebaalnidan/main/complaint
– Alternatively, you can also email them at complaints.ncpcr@gov.in or call them at 011-23478250.
3. State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) – Each state has its own SCPCR that handles complaints related to child rights violations. You can find the contact information for your state’s SCPCR on their respective websites or through a quick online search.
4. National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) – You can file a complaint with the NHRC if you feel your rights are being violated.
5. Local Police Station or Child Welfare Committee – If you feel unsafe, you can also visit your local police station or seek help from the Child Welfare Committee in your area. The police are required by law to help in cases of child abuse.

Seeking support from a trusted teacher, school counselor, or relative may also help you address this situation. You have every right to a safe and supportive educational environment, and there are organizations ready to support you.
