14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Sexualised By Women On Internet; Netizens Condemn Behaviour, Ask For Strict Action
At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become the talk of the nation following a stunning, record-breaking performance for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. While his fearless gameplay has drawn admiration from cricket enthusiasts and analysts alike, his rapid rise to fame has been overshadowed by online harassment the young boy faced.
Inappropriate comments spark nationwide outrage
What began as celebration soon gave way to concern, as social media platforms were flooded with objectifying and indecent remarks targeting the young cricketer. Shockingly, a most of the offensive posts came from female users, initiating massive backlash from online users.
“This would’ve been a national scandal if the genders were reversed,” wrote one outraged user on X (formerly Twitter), echoing a sentiment that has been widely shared. Many have drawn attention to the glaring double standards in the way society responds to the sexualization of boys compared to girls.
Legal experts call for swift action under POCSO
The severity of the comments, especially given the fact that Vaibhav is a minor, has led legal professionals and child rights advocates to demand immediate intervention. Many are urging authorities to invoke the Protection of children from sexual offences (POCSO) act, stating that the matter is not just about social ethics, but also about upholding the law.
“There should be zero tolerance for this,” said one child rights lawyer. “A minor has the right to dignity and protection from all forms of abuse-offline and online.”
Cyber cell and authorities under pressure
Screenshots of the offensive posts are being widely circulated, fueling demands for action from cybercrime units, child protection bodies, and government agencies. Concerned citizens are tagging official handles and demanding accountability, insisting that this case sets a example for how minors are protected in the digital space.
Online harassment: A gender-neutral crisis
The incident has reignited conversations about online abuse, and how it disproportionately affects public figures-especially young ones. While cases involving the objectification of girls are rightly met with public outrage and institutional response, critics argue that similar abuse toward boys is often brushed aside.
“Equality means protecting all children,” noted one prominent activist. “Society must stop trivializing the trauma boys face and treat every case of child abuse with the seriousness it deserves.”
Cricketing journey continues, but so must the fight for safer digital spaces
As Vaibhav continues to impress on the field, this episode serves as a stark reminder of the digital dangers that young public figures face. Beyond admiration and applause, there is a growing need to safeguard young athletes from the darker sides of fame.
The ball is now in the court of law enforcement agencies, tech platforms, and society at large-to not only support young talents like Vaibhav but to create an environment where their dignity and safety are non-negotiable.
