Congolese authorities have spoken out for the primary time since eight Croats have been arrested on the airport in Ndola in December on suspicion of illegally making an attempt to undertake 4 youngsters from DR Congo. Their youngsters have been taken away, and on the first trial, the Croats have been acquitted in self-defence, after which they have been arrested once more on the similar place.

DEHRADUN: The Uttarakhand high court has ordered that a baby girl born to a minor rape survivor be "retrieved" from her adoptive parents in Uttar Pradesh and handed back to her biological mother. The direction came following a petition by the woman, now 21 years old, who told the court that both she and the accused, whom she later married and who is currently serving a 10-year-sentence for rape, want their child back.

The woman had given birth to the baby in February 2019 and the child welfare committee (CWC), with the consent of the survivor's parents, had then handed over the newborn to a family in Mau, Uttar Pradesh. An FIR against the man had been lodged in the matter on February 26 that year, a day after the woman, 17 years old then, had delivered the child.

During trial in the district court, the woman said that she was having an affair with the accused man, who was 22 at that time, from her village and got pregnant. He had promised to marry her but then "disappeared". On August 20, 2020, the special court of Uttarkashi sentenced the accused to 10 years in jail after holding him guilty of rape under relevant sections of the Pocso Act.

In the meantime, the parents of the survivor had handed over the child to CWC on March 12, 2019. Later, the baby was adopted by a family in Mau. But things took a dramatic turn after that. First, the woman and the accused together moved the HC seeking short-term bail for the man so that they could marry. The court allowed that and granted bail for 45 days on August 4, 2021. After the survivor married the rape accused, the couple once again approached the HC to get their child back.

After hearing the matter, the court ordered that the child be brought back from Mau and given back to the biological parents. The order was passed on January 30 this year, but a copy was made available only on Wednesday. The court had on January 12 this year asked SSP Uttarkashi to submit a report regarding the whereabouts of the toddler, "as the mother was keen on a reunion". On January 16, when a sub-inspector submitted the report, justice Sharad Kumar Sharma got upset and said, "When the court had issued a specific direction to the SSP to submit a report, he couldn't have delegated his powers to the sub-inspector."

It must remain possible to adopt children from the United States. Some 400 adoptive parents plead for this in a letter to the House of Representatives. After a damning report from the Joustra committee about abuses in the adoption system, all international adoptions were suspended. Last November, the government came up with the plan to make adoption from 6 selected countries possible again, but the US was not among them.

Adoptive parents to Parliament: It must remain possible to adopt children from the US

"The abuses that occurred in the years before 1998, to which I add that the US was not yet an adoption country at that time, have led to a call for: there must be more transparency, the process must be easy to follow, there must be no drugs The United States as an adoption country meets all these conditions," says adoptive parent and one of the initiators Reinout van Haperen in the NOS Radio 1 Journaal.

Cabinet

According to the government, there is enough suitable care available for children in the United States and it therefore does not want children to be brought to the Netherlands for adoption. Van Haperen sees it differently. "What the cabinet does not say is that there are approximately 120,000 children in America that are adoptable, of which no more than half are adopted domestically each year. Those other children always remain in changing foster care."

Family of former BJP MLA Rajesh Mishra, who helped rescue the child, has claimed nodal adoption agency flouted rules to favour a couple from Malta. Case is now in Supreme Court.

The government has started to accept foster family applications for temporary homes for little quake survivors, with over 283,000 families already applying to the Ministry of Family and Social Services via the e-Government platform to open their doors to the homeless youngsters

The government Wednesday announced the opening of foster family applications in which over 283,000 families applied to the Ministry of Family and Social Services via the e-Government platform to become foster families for quake-survivor children following the deadly disaster.

Türkiye's recent twin earthquakes affected over 14 million people, nearly 16% of the national population, and occurred in southeastern Türkiye – mainly in Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbak?r, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye and ?anl?urfa – also resulted in strong tremors in several countries in the region, including Syria and Lebanon.

It's the 10th day of the deadly quakes, and the death toll has reached over 35,000, according to the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD).

Although the number of children who have lost parents or caregivers in these devastating earthquakes has not been specified, it is critical to find these children appropriate care and support in the short term. Displaced children, especially those who are unaccompanied or separated from families, are vulnerable to violence, exploitation and abuse, including the risk of trafficking or gender-based violence.

A seven-year-old girl was allegedly burnt with tongs and beaten up by her adoptive mother and her son in Delhi's RK Puram, police said on Wednesday. The 50-year-accused woman works as a nurse at a central government hospital and is absconding. Her son was arrested and sent to judicial custody, police said.

The girl's biological parents are relatives of the accused, police said. RK Puram police station received information on February 9 regarding a minor being physically abused by her adoptive mother. There were scars and injuries on her body, a senior police officer said.

The girl was medically examined and a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, Juvenile Justice Act and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act Act was registered, the officer said. The girl has been sent to a child welfare facility, police said.

Justice SM Modak expressed “great pains” that even in the 21st century, there were incidents where girls were being treated as commodities for financial benefits.

“We are in the 21st century, still there are incidents wherein the girls are treated as commodity and they have been used as a medium for financial benefits. It is highly objectionable to the principles of morality and human rights that a girl of one year is being sold by the natural mother,” the Bench observed.

However, the judge noted that the ‘sale’ took place because the biological mother’s husband was behind bars and they were in need of money.

After the sale, the biological mother had managed to repay the loan to the applicant, and sought the return her child. The applicant woman and her husband, however, refused to return the child, after which a complaint was lodged against them.

The observations were made by a division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Yashwant Varma on February 13 while hearing a plea of a man whose adopted son suffers from severe mental retardation.

The Delhi High Court recently held that a foreigner cannot claim a vested right to be appointed the legal guardian of a person with disabilities or claim protection guaranteed under Part III of the constitution as are available to Indian citizens.

The observations were made by a division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Yashwant Varma on February 13 while hearing the plea of a man whose adopted son suffers from severe mental retardation. The father had challenged the validity of certain rules and regulations prescribed National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Rules, 20001 and Board of the Trust Regulations, 2012 which “restrict the appointment of a guardian to a person who is an Indian citizen”.

The father alleged that Rule 17 as well as Regulation 12 are “ultra vires” the provisions of the National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 19993 (National Trust Act) which is the parent Act. It was argued that if the parent act does not disable a non-citizen from applying to be appointed as a guardian of a person with disabilities, then the rules and regulations cannot do so which are delegation legislation in this case.

The father and his adopted son are US citizens who relocated to India, after the breakdown of marital relations between the man and his wife, pursuant to which they legally separated. The father claimed that he had been granted legal custody of his son and has been acting as his primary caregiver since the time of adoption. Both the father and the son relocated to India in 2009 and hold Overseas Citizenship of India cards. The father sought to be appointed as the guardian of his son under the National Trust Act and claimed that his application for guardianship is barred by the said provisions of the rules and regulations which prescribe “citizenship to be an essential qualification”.
