Jaymala was found raising young children illegally and giving them to people without due process. She gave two children to two different households last week, bypassing the procedures laid out by the government.

The Vijayapura police have arrested a nurse for abducting children from hospitals and supplying them to childless parents. The accused has been identified as Jayamala Patil, who was working as a contract nurse at the primary health centre in Gigajivani village in Chatana taluk. Raising Children Illegally Jaymala is a resident of Athani Galli in Vijayapur city of Karnataka and was found raising young children illegally and giving them to people without due process, reported The Times of India. She gave two children to two different households last week, bypassing the procedures laid out by the government with the intention of trafficking them. Officers and staff of the city's women's police station arrested the convict and rescued two children from her home.

Child Trafficking Child trafficking is linked to the demand for cheap labour, especially where the working conditions are poor. Jayamala has taken advantage of the poor people and has started child trafficking. The action taken was based on a complaint by Childline, a child protection helpline. The police found that Jayamala employed two women in two separate houses in Athani Galli and Darbar Galli to take care of a three-year-old child and an 11-month-old baby. After searching these houses, they found the children, who were taken care of by women appointed by Jayamala for a monthly payment of ?3,000, The Hindustan Times reported. During the investigation of the matter, the Vijayapura police suspect that the accused has kept many such kids in different places as part of her child trafficking business. Government Efforts According to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), trafficking is one of the worst forms of violation of human rights where a woman or a child is treated as a commodity and not as a human being. It has a vast network across the country that procure women and children from deep rural areas with low awareness of the issue or backbreaking poverty. Many NGOs working on Anti Trafficking have also reported that in many instances of recovered and rescued victims of trafficking, they can trace the missing person's report at the local police station level. The government is also taking the necessary actions against the trafficking that has been happening. Under the Child Protection Act, the government tracks every missing child.

The accused nurse, identified as Jayamala Patil, gave custody of two children to two different households on last week, bypassing the procedures laid out by the government and with an intention of trafficking them, police said.

NAGPUR: Salamullah Khan, 62, the alleged mastermind in a child trafficking case being investigated by the crime branch, owned an aided orphanage at Kondhali which was shut by the authorities last year after his role in an illegal adoption racket came to fore.

Khan, who has been arrested along with two nurses and a 55-year-old woman, was booked in yet another case registered at Kotwali police station last year. The latest offence was registered at Sitabuldi police station following action by crime branch’s anti-human trafficking (AHT) unit.

Sources stated that Khan, who provided a 12-day-old baby to the elderly woman for Rs three lakh three years ago, is refusing to cooperate with police in the custody. “Khan is claiming that his memory is failing and hence cannot recall from whom he had bought the baby,” said a police source.

It’s learnt, there were three children at Patel Bahuuddeshiya Sanstha’s orphanage run by Khan at Kondhali when he was booked for trafficking last year. The women and child development department had shut the place and shifted the children elsewhere.

In the latest case, police stated that Khan was introduced to the elderly woman by the two nurses who worked at a big hospital in Dhantoli. The woman used to visit the hospital for treatment to conceive at an advanced age.

An Egyptian court sentenced on Monday Egyptian media tycoon Mohamed El Amin to three years in prison in addition to a fine of EGP 200,000 for human trafficking and for sexually assaulting seven girls at an orphanage he owned in a province near Cairo.

Following a report filed by the country’s National Council for Childhood and Motherhood and an ensuing investigation, El Amin was arrested in January. His first trial was in March.

Investigators discovered that many of the girls living in El Amin’s orphanage had been assaulted by him during his regular visits to the home, which is located in his home province of Beni Suef, 150 kilometres south of Cairo.

The girls’ testimonies, 13 of which were cited in the court’s verdict on Monday which was seen by The National, were remarkably similar with most of them recounting how El Amin would come to the orphanage every week.

El Amin had also made a habit out of taking groups of girls from the orphanage to his summer home in Egypt’s North Coast, where he would also assault them, court documents showed.

The state will help older foster youth who are aging out of care find families that will last beyond foster care.

TOPEKA, Kansas — Kansas will be the first state to let foster children pick their foster parents. The goal of the one-of-a-kind change aims to let older foster children create strong connections that could help them as they age out of the state’s care.

Foster children can find permanent homes either through adoption, being reunited with family or guardianship, but this new option gives foster youth more say.

Foster children age 16 and older would be able to pick up to two adults to serve as their legal, permanent family. Those people could include caregivers or people close to the child.

“It would be an unprecedented change,” said Scott Henricks, director of permanency at the Kansas Department for Children and Families. “It would be a change of direction on really how the system works.”

Lee Kyung-eun to meet Korean adoptees during Europe book tour next month

By Jung Min-ho

If inter-country adoption truly was intended "for the best" of children born in poor countries, why doesn't anyone listen to them when they finally have a voice to say that it wasn't what they wanted?

Inter-country adoptees' access to knowledge of their origins is still denied over their biological parents' right to privacy in Korea, a nation that remains as one of the leading "baby exporters" despite being the world's 10th-largest economy today.

Lee Kyung-eun, 53, one of the most famous, indefatigable defenders of adoptees' rights and author of "The Global Orphan Adoption System," will listen to the voices of Korean adoptees in person next month during her book tour in four European cities ? Amsterdam, The Hague, Copenhagen and Stockholm.

LOCHRISTI -Tonight starts on One 'We Are Family'. After reporter Lidewij Nuitten went looking for her former sweetheart Mark last year, she is now unraveling the roots of two adoptive sisters. In the second episode she looks for golden tips in Lochristi.

If you want to get to know yourself, you have to look for your origin. Lidewij learned that last year in 'Where is Mark?', the search for her first love. A story that was mainly about adoption. Starting tonight she will work on an analogous story and together with Noëmi and Anéline she will look for their biological parents. This brings her back on the track of rapprochement with her own brothers. But first a detour to Lochristi, where photographer Filip Naudts has a cozy family, with partner Katrien, son Alphonse and daughter Yang. So an adoptive daughter.

"Lidewij came to us with Noëmi and Anéline, hoping to pick up some golden tips from our noses during their search," says the Lootse photographer. “They got wind of our own search and asked if we didn't want to participate in the new series around the same problem.”

From the moment that Yang completed their family, Filip and his wife Katrien went in search of the answer to the origin-related question that Yang might one day ask himself. “We don't know Yang's birth history and there is certainly no information about her biological family. It is therefore like looking for a needle in a haystack. But doing nothing was not an option for us from the start, especially as time could erase clues. There are always files that disappear, or relatives that die. Despite many attempts through various American and Chinese channels, and also having search posters posted in Yang's native region, the search has still not yielded any fruitful results after all these years," it sounds.

What does daughter Yang, 17 and a student Restaurant-Keuken at the Hotel School in Ghent, think about this? “I don't really care that much about my past. I am only reminded when others approach me about this and ask, for example, what it is like to be adopted, or whether it was easy to learn the Dutch language.” “During my internship at De Lozen Boer, someone asked me why I considered working in a Chinese restaurant” (laughs). “People may mean well, but personally I find these comments rather irrelevant. Not because I want to deny my Chinese roots – a bit difficult in my case – or because adoption has no meaning in my life. But I actually prefer to be judged on my skills and who I am as a person. My origin doesn't really matter. That's why I don't feel the urge to visit my biological family at the moment. Though I'm not saying that can't change. For example, if I ever become pregnant or, who knows, adopt a child.” ?(Geert Herman)

When Michael Bennett ordered a 23andMe DNA testing kit in 2018, he was hoping to gain insight into his family health history.

“Every time I went to the doctor, they’d ask questions that I didn’t have the answers to,” said Bennett, a retired army veteran in Fort Worth, Texas, who was adopted at age 3.

Bennett, now 70, was born in 1951 in post-WWII occupied Japan. His biological mother, Yoshiko Nakajima, was Japanese; his biological father, Dick Webster, was an American serviceman. In 1953, Bennett was adopted by a couple in the United States. That was pretty much all Bennett knew about his birth family and he was OK with that.

“I had a very happy childhood. I adored my parents,” Bennett told TODAY Parents.

Sure, Bennett was curious about Nakajima and Webster — what happened between them? Why was he placed for adoption as a toddler? But Bennett didn’t dwell on the unknowns.
