Who takes care of abandoned children?
Baby, Battered
-The Times of India, February 1, 2012
The story of children in India is not to the least encouraging. The two-year-old Falak, who was brutally bruised and battered now fights for survival in AIIMS.
The case of Falak echoes the plight of many a children who are either abandoned, trafficked, or sold in sex trade. In fact, to highlight the gory fact, the number of such cases have risen, "notwithstanding countless laws passed to protect them."
"This large-scale abuse and neglect of children has to end. But the question is: Should we leave the problem to the state to resolve it?"
The answer may well lie in an approach that involves both state and non-state agencies.
