"Enough Is Enough", SC Transfers Muzaffarpur Shelter Home Case From Bihar

The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the transfer of the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case from Bihar to a court in New Delhi and slammed the state government for its management of shelter homes. A bench, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, said the cases should be transferred from the Bihar CBI court to a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Saket trial court within two weeks. It ordered the Saket trial court to conclude the trial within six months. The apex court also rapped the CBI for transferring its officer probing the sexual assault case and said it amounted to a violation of its order. A bench asked the investigating agency to file an affidavit giving an explanation. "Enough is enough. Children cannot be treated like this. You cannot let your officers treat children this way. Spare the children," the top court told the Bihar government. It said the court will summon the chief secretary if the state fails to give all information. Several girls were allegedly raped and sexually abused at an NGO-run shelter home in Muzaffarpur. The issue came to light in May last year following a report by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). PTI SJK

Kerala NGOs block adoption home rules

Kerala NGOs block adoption home rules

Kerala has the most number of child care homes (1,396) that allow for legal adoption.

The Centre’s efforts to map and register all Child Care Institutions in the country seem to have been thwarted by 579 homes in the state of Kerala that have contested the requirement in court. Kerala has the most number of child care homes (1,396) that allow for legal adoption, with almost 50,000 children living in them, according to the women and child development ministry. The ministry had stepped up the mapping and registration of the country’s almost 9,000 homes after allegations of illegal adoption from homes run by the Missionaries of Charity in Jharkhand surfaced in June last year.

As per figures provided by the ministry in Parliament last week, 7,907 homes had registered so far, while 888 homes are still unregistered, a majority of them in Kerala. In a bid to make child care homes more accountable, the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, mandates the registration of all child care institutions and has laid out strict norms for living conditions in them and inspections by child welfare committees. Ministry officials said the homes in Kerala, many of which are run by NGOs, have approached the state high court for a relaxation in the norms, which may add to their financial burden. The norms include hiring of staff and the size of living space for each child living in the home.

'' The matter has become sub judice and we cannot take any action till the matter is resolved,” a ministry official said. Other states with a chunk of the unregistered CCIs are

Grausam! Gestohlene Kinder – schreckliche Enthüllung von Babyhandel – ‚Stolen‘ newborn babies: Babies for sale

Horrible! Stolen children - horrible revelation of baby trade - 'Stolen' newborn babies: babies for sale

Babies are abducted and traded as commodities. In Nigeria, there are real baby factories, which let even for the European market babies in a cruel way by abducted girls. In China, about 70,000 babies are sold on the black market every year. In Canada, there is another case of indignation after an indigenous mother was "stolen" from her child at the hospital just two days after giving birth. Indigenous children in Canada: They are stolen, placed in care facilities, even abused there. Did you know that "enforced adoption" is practiced in England? At present, there are people in court who have stolen and sold up to 300,000 babies in Catholic institutions in Spain. In India, babies are stolen from hospitals by physicians or hospital nurses and sold to "adoption-willing." Stolen children - no, that happens not only in exotic countries, but also in Europe. We've already researched a lot of topics and we've often pushed ourselves to the limit, but as we now see, things are even worse.

Stolen children

We have often written about human trafficking because we believe that this "cruel" issue deserves more attention, just because of the victims, because many of them are children. When it comes to trafficking, Germany is a transit country and thus complicit in it. Modern human trafficking is legal even in Germany. Every year, millions of people are traded, with children being sold all over the world, especially in developed countries, as well as in European countries. But in other countries too, the trade in babies is booming. She was simply torn away from the mothers and then sold to others, mostly "rich ones".

It has long been reported by the "baby factories" in Nigeria, where kidnapped girls are imprisoned. They are then pregnant and the babies are sold. The industry is booming.

International Humanitarian Law and Child Rights Competition, 2019 by NALSAR University of Law and UNICEF [April 12-13]

About the competition:

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the first international convention on child rights was signed in 1989 and has led to great progress in safeguarding human rights of the children.

It has resulted in major changes in laws to ensure better protection for children and has even altered the manner in which international organizations see their work for children. The convention has also resulted in better protection of children in situations of armed conflict.

To mark the 30th year of CRC, NALSAR’s Centre for Child and Youth Justice, in collaboration with UNICEF, is organizing this competition to encourage students to deliberate on the intersection of International Humanitarian Law and Child Rights.

The format of the competition:

Jharkhand gang rape survivor sells unborn child

The incident came to light after someone informed the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) in Ranchi, which recovered the child with the help of the local police on Friday.

RANCHI: A widow who became pregnant after being gang-raped in Narayanpur Soso village near Jharkhand capital Ranchi sold the child even before it was born to a childless couple in December last year.

The incident came to light after someone informed the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) in Ranchi, which recovered the child with the help of the local police on Friday.

“The child, which is currently in our custody, will be produced before us and sent for adoption. The mother was a rape victim and conceived the child out of the crime. The deal to hand over the child to the purchaser after its birth had been finalized when she was five months pregnant,” said CWC Chairperson Rupa Verma, who said action will be taken against both parties.

The child was apparently taken away by the couple that bought it soon after it was born in December, but the amount involved in the deal was yet to be disclosed as the matter is still under investigation, she added.

Law Ministry May Challenge Delhi HC order allowing NGT chairman, Justice Goel’s NRI daughter to adopt Indian child

Preeti Goel Bishop, a naturalized American citizen, had got the Delhi High Court’s nod for inter-country relative adoption despite CARA’s objection

By Sumit Saxena

The Law Ministry is preparing to challenge a Delhi High Court order, which granted the daughter of Justice Adarsh Goel, a retired judge of the Supreme Court and presently chairman of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), permission for inter-country relative adoption. Justice Goel’s daughter, Preeti Goel Bishop, is married to an American national and is herself a naturalized US citizen.

On January 14, a bench of Delhi High Court’s Justice V. Kameswar Rao had allowed Preeti, a resident of Pleasant Hill, California, and a licensed American attorney, to proceed with an inter-country relative adoption. Preeti had moved the Delhi High Court pleading that her request for adoption, pending clearance from the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), be expeditiously processed in her favour. The court’s order had cleared the way for Preeti and her husband to adopt a Hindu child.

CARA, India’s nodal agency for approving adoption, had refused to issue a No Objection Certification (NoC) to Preeti for the inter-country relative adoption citing certain procedural lapses on her part. The Hague Convention mandates every country to have a centralized adoption agency authorized to approve inter-country adoption. Further, prospective adoptive parents (PAPs) cannot directly initiate the adoption process but have to engage an Authorised Foreign Agency to act on their behalf.

Deaths in adoption homes highest in UP, Bihar: Government

NEW DELHI: Nearly 13 of every 100 “out of family” children living in adoption centres in Uttar Pradesh, who were hoping to get adopted, have ended up dead since 2014. In Bihar, this percentage was barely better at 11 per cent. These figures are alarmingly higher than the national average. Less than five per cent of children in India died in adoption centres between April, 2014 to January, 2019.

2/15/2019 Deaths in adoption homes highest in UP, Bihar: Government- The New Indian Express

Rajasthan was another state with a glaringly high percentage. The revelation came from data presented by the Union Women and Child Development Ministry in response to a question by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. The children, up for adoption, are mostly abandoned or rescued from human trafficking with no legal guardian. The government informed the House that in all, there were 1,265 deaths recorded in 484 adoption centres in the country. Under the Juvenile Justice Act, adoption centres have to be registered with the government’s Child Adoption Resource Information and Guidance System (CARINGS) . The portal is run by the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA). A WCD Ministry official said a random inspection of 27 adoption centres in 9 states last year had revealed irregularities, including premature deaths, unhygienic conditions, and missing children.
