Handover rescued children to foster parents: Advocate
Karnataka Commission for Protection of Child Rights should advice Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Mysuru to take steps to release the children from their ‘imprisonment’, who are rescued by district police unearthing a child trafficking racket in Mysuru, says PP Baburaj, Advocate and former Member of Child Welfare Committee.
In his letter to the Commission, he has stated the rescued 16 children have housed in three orphanages of Mysuru and Mandya. The biological parents of these children have not come forward so far. The best way to protect the interest of the children is to release them to the custody of their respective care givers under foster care and thus legalise them with a monitoring package. If the biological parents never turn up, the adoption procedures can be taken up by the foster parents with the help of CWC in the due course of time, he adds.
‘The Child Welfare Committee, unfortunately is acting as Child Torture Committee. It has violated the spirit and all the General principles of Care and Protection enshrined in Chapter II of Juvenile Justice Act 2015. All the foster care givers were treated as hard core criminals and they were not given a fair hearing. CWC used accusatory and adversarial words with the parents and children in the process of making an order of detaining the children in orphanages’, he states.
