Its easy to buy babies at TNs govt hospitals
Police Probe Statewide Child Trafficking Ring With Links In Healthcare System
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
About 18 months ago,doctors told Maruthayi,39,(name changed) that she would not be able to deliver a baby.Today,she dotes on an 11-month-old boy,buying him clothes and toys and taking him to the doctor for his shots.She cant imagine a life without him.
Maruthayi told The Times of India that she purchased the baby from a Kilpauk Medical College (KMC) hospital administrator but refused to divulge the amount she had paid.I paid him in thousands.The biological mother would have got most of it, she said.
Eight months ago,a TOI team went undercover and met the administrator who said he could find a baby for a potential buyer.In April,he was caught on camera saying he had found a woman who was due for delivery at the hospital in two months: I know your number.I will call you after she has the delivery negotiations will begin after that. On Monday,in a telephonic conversation,he promised to close the deal by next week.The conversation has been recorded.
Chennai:
Even as the Tamil Nadu police are currently working to unravel a child trafficking network spread across the state,it continues to be possible to buy a baby in Chennai.In fact,it would not be difficult to just walk in and steal one.And its not just at KMC that the task is so easy,government hospitals across the state have become the source for baby traffickers.
Ironically,almost every senior official,including Additional Director General of Police Archana Ramasundram and health secretary VK Subburaj,agree.Only two days ago,a woman lost her newborn at the Rajaji Medical College Hospital in Madurai.Police traced the child and restored it to the parents, says Subburaj.
Nearly 70% of all deliveries in the state take place at government hospitals,and most babies that are trafficked are from these hospitals.The cost of a baby ranges from Rs 10,000 to Rs 1.5 lakh.Entry to government hospitals is not restricted,so security is a cause for concern.Government hospitals have no strict visiting hours.The campuses are huge.We need to evolve strategies to beef up security, says ADGP Archana Ramasundram.
The hospitals also face the problem of corrupt grade-IV staff.The staff demand money for every service,including getting xrays and cleaning the woman in labour.They hit my daughter on her thighs while she was in labour.We were forced to give them money, says Muthulakshmi,whose daughter was admitted to the Woman and Children Hospital at Egmore here.
In almost every government hospital,staff are aware of brokers who actively participate in child trafficking.While some babies are abandoned or sold by poor parents,others are stolen.

Breakthrough In Child Trafficking Case Came After Hosur Villager Approached Krishnagiri Police Last Month
A Selvaraj | TNN
Chennai: It all started when Ramakkal,who lives in a village near Hosur,went to the Krishnagiri police last month saying her three-month-old son had been stolen.The distraught mother told them she had been at a government hospital and made friends with a woman,who made off with the child.
She described the woman as having burn marks on her neck and hands.We formed special teams and closed in on Dhanalakshmi who lives in Krishnagiri.She was taken into custody.She confessed after Ramakkal identified her, said Krishnagiri superintendent of police AG Babu.
Krishnagiri district,among the more backward in the state,is known for cases of female infanticide,but in the last few weeks it has emerged as a source for babies that are sold to childless couples.Eight of the 11 babies rescued recently are from Krishnagiri.
Police said Dhanalakshmi,35,befriended Girija,45,at the Kilpauk Medical College hospital.Dhanalakshmi was undergoing treatment as she had tried to set herself ablaze after a fight with her husband.These were the burn injuries that would lead to her identification and the cracking of the case.Girija,who lived in Perambur,realised that parents in poverty-stricken Krishnagiri district would probably be willing to sell babies.She convinced Dhanalakshmi to buy babies from parents for as little as Rs 1,000 or steal them.Dhanalakshmi received Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000 for a baby.
Girija sold the babies to childless couples at prices ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1.5 lakh.Through her relative,Jayaprasad,who was working in a wine shop at Neelankarai and his girlfriend,Nancy Tersy,Girija networked with another child racketeering group headed by Pastor Alphonse Xavier,who ran a church near Chennai,and a Puducherry-based self-styled social activist M Lalitha.Their luck ran out when Dhanalakshmi stole Ramakkals child.
Police investigations led to the arrest of Dhanalakshmi,Girija,Siva,Jayaprasad,Alphonse Xavier,Lalitha,Nancy and three others,and the rescuing of 11 babies (seven male and four female ).Based on Lalithas confession,the manager of a private hospital in Chennai was arrested for issuing false birth reports for the babies.The kidnapped children have been traced to various parts of Tamil Nadu,Puducherry and Bangalore.There are still some knots that can be untangled only by questioning the suspects further, a police officer said.
We are probing if children were sold abroad too.Arrests of a few more accused will reveal this, said a senior police officer.Till now,seven members of the gang have been arrested and five,including Girija,have been detained under the Goondas Act.But Krishnagiris children may not be safe unless the entire child trafficking network in Tamil Nadu is unravelled.

They are normally childless couples who often end up at infertility clinics.Touts put them in touch with dubious social service outfits.The couples pay money to adopt the babies
Sellers:
Agents befriend pregnant women from poor families at govt hospitals and ask if they want to sell their babies.Mostly,class IV staff in hospitals are involved in this racket
Modus operandi:
Touts buy or steal babies from Krishnagiri and Vellore districts and hand them over to contacts in big cities.Later,the babies are sold to childless
couples using fake
documents
Children tossed between foster,biological parents Radha Venkatesan | TNN Krishnagiri: For 25 years,Kamalam and Periyasamy were childless.We were resigned to life without a child, says Kamalam Periyasamy.
Then on the evening of November 30,2008,a two-and-a-halfyear-old boy suddenly stumbled into their lives.Our landlord told us about his relative.A little boy had been orphaned and needed a caring home.Out of sheer sympathy,we brought him home.Believe us,we did not pay a single rupee, sobs Kamalam,hugging little Sripathy in her small house in Krishnagiri.
A driver in the Tamil Nadu Public Works Department,Periyasamy says he never dreamt that the child might have been a victim of trafficking.He brings such joy and colour to our lives, he says.Sripathy quickly settled into life at the Periyasamy household and the couple felt a dream had come true at last.
But two days ago,police knocked on Periyasamys door and told him that he and his wife were parenting a child stolen from a couple at the government general hospital at Tirupattur in Vellore district.Dhanalakshmi,who was supplying babies from Krishnagiri and Vellore,to a child trafficking gang in Chennai had stolen the boy over a year ago.
When I first saw Sripathy,he pleaded with me not to leave him, says Periyasamy,who had fled Nagapattinam after the tsunami and settled in Krishnagiri.Another tsunami has struck us now, says Kamalam.
Now,the couple are begging the boys biological father Selvam,a struggling mini-bus driver,and mother Sangeetha not to take away their life.The Krishnagiri magistrate court has asked the Periyasamys to keep custody of the child until the results of the DNA tests are out.
At the Krishnagiri court complex,a couple from Bangalore,Puzhuthiraj and Mehala,who had bought a baby from the Chennai gang,are also inconsolable.How can I let go of the child cries Mehala,cuddling one-and-a-half-year-old Viswas.He was also stolen from the Tirupattur GH from a poor Muslim couple.
It is these poor tots who are being tossed around in the emotional tussle between their foster and biological parents.

Krishnagiri: Baby snatchers paradise
Radha Venkatesan | TNN
Krishnagiri: Lined with mango groves and granite rocks and located close to Bangalore,Krishnagiri district is emerging as a trading hub of Tamil Nadu.These days,though,the town is not just attracting mango and granite traders,but child shoppers too.
With more than half its population steeped in poverty and illiteracy,Krishnagiri has become a hunting ground for child traffickers,who either steal or buy babies here,and put them up for sale in the adoption market.Krishnagiri police,who unearthed the child trafficking racket,have so far traced 11 children stolen or bought from Krishnagiri and neighbouring Vellore by a Chennai-based gang.
Poverty is the key reason for child traffickers targeting Krishnagiri.There is a deep resistance to family planning among the migrant labourers.In a few places in Krishnagiri,parents continue to kill female babies as they do not want them, said a police officer.
Three years ago,when an auto drivers wife,Girija Siva of Perambur in Chennai met a petty shop owner,Dhanalakshmi of Krishnagiri,at a government hospital in Chennai,she was intrigued by Krishnagiris tale of poverty,infanticide and illiteracy.She saw a great opportunity for child trafficking, said Krishnagiri police inspector A Kannappan.
From running a marriage brokers business,Girija switched to child trafficking.The first victim was the ninth child of a migrant brick kiln worker.They paid Rs 1,000 for the boy,and sold him for Rs 35,000.In Krishnagiri,parents stealthily sell their babies for Rs 1,000 to Rs 3,000, said a social welfare department official.
As demand for children grew from childless couples,Girija directed Dhanalakshmi to prey on women at government hospitals and bus stops in Krishnagiri.Depending on the sex and health condition of the child,the price was fixed ranging from Rs 25,000 to over Rs 1.5 lakh.Obviously,boys always fetched a higher price.
Dhanalakshmi stole the babies and Girija,her husband Siva and friend Rani,would bring them to Chennai.As childless couples flocked to her illegal adoption agency,she started collecting advances of Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000.The pressure to give children to couples from whom she took an advance forced her to steal more babies, say Krishnagiri police.
Security to be tightened in all govt hospitals Vivek Narayanan | TNN Chennai: State government hospitals will soon have a security makeover with a private womens force manning their premises and CCTVs monitoring corridors.As the state police continue their crackdown on baby abductors,the state government has finally woken up to the issue,convening a meeting month-end to discuss steps to strengthen security at hospitals,which are proving to be major hunting ground for child-trafficking gangs.
On June 30,officials from the state health department and the crime branch-CID will meet to discuss the various security measures to be taken to strengthen security at government hospitals.ADGP Archana Ramasundaram and health secretary VK Subburaj will evolve stringent security measures to prevent trafficking.
The measures will include posting of private women security personnel in hospitals and CCTVs on all corridors.We have some funds in patients welfare societies at every hospital.The medical superintendents can make use of the fund to tighten security, said Subburaj.
The police have been suggesting appointment of ex-servicemen to shore up security.The main problem in the government maternity hospitals is that there is no foolproof security system to monitor and keep track of visitors.In private hospitals tokens are given to family members who would visit the patient daily and in case they need an additional token,the request has to be given in writing, said a police official.
The CB-CID is also monitoring childrens homes across the state and preparing a status report on unlicensed ones.The police say there are 800 unregistered children homes in the state with no supervision whatsoever.Meanwhile,the Chennai suburban police which arrested four womenAsha,Nancy,Kavitha and Andalinvolved in selling stolen babies,has also planned a series of security measures in hospitals.
On June 5,a four-day-old baby was stolen from a private hospital in Madhavaram.The culprit posed as a visitor and offered help to the babys mother.Under the pretext of taking the child to the vaccination room,the lady disappeared with the child.Such cases should be dealt with seriously.Though we cannot compel the hospitals to fix CCTV cameras,I will be advising them to do so, said Chennai suburban commissioner S R Jangid. |

Fraud alleged in adoption of 5 children
Committee Files Complaint Against One Social Worker
R Vasundara | TNN
Chennai: The city-based Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has filed a police complaint,alleging irregularities in the adoption procedure of five children,all five-year-olds born in the same hospital in Coimbatore.The CWC has charged a social worker in the Guild of Service,an authorised adoption centre,of forging adoption documents for the children to get clearance from the committee.
According to Dr P Manorama,chairperson of CWC,which comes under the staterun department of social defence,the issue first came to her notice when the social worker applied for clearance for adoption of all the five children simultaneously.Normally,the Guild of Service applies for clearance from CWC for one child at a time.This made us suspicious.When our probationary officer verified the background of the children,we found that all the five children were born in the same hospital (Sheila Hospital) in Coimbatore. said Dr Manorama,who filed a police complaint on Friday last.
We are investigating the case, Mohammed Shakeel Akhtar,city police additional commissioner told TOI.Once we verify the allegations (pertaining to the social worker),we will pass on the case to Coimbatore police for a probe against the hospital. The Guild of Service management has denied knowledge of the five children being under their care.
According to Dr Manorama,officers of the social welfare department discovered last year that the five children (none of whom were disabled) were residing at Cheshire Home,a home for the differentlyabled.Their case was transferred under the care of Guild of Service.We were approached by the social worker from the Guild in October 2009 for temporary custody of the children.The adoption papers were presented again in February 2010 for verification, explained Manorama.When I wrote to the secretary of the Guild,I discovered that the Guild had no knowledge that these children were under their care. Moreover,the social worker had already put up three of the children for adoption without the mandatory clearance from the CWC.
Raising further questions are the actions of the hospital which had given away these babies (they were all born in 2005) to Missionary of Charity Home in Salem.One of the five children is the offspring of Mohammed Usman of Coimbatore who claims he was misled into giving away his girl.
I was told before the delivery that my baby has a fatal kidney problem and will not survive for more than a week.The doctor persuaded me to sign a bond and entrust the child to a missionary home, he said.However,when he decided to bring back his baby,he was informed that she was not with the hospital.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF DISAPPEARING BABIES
As City Population Went Up By 16%,Birth Rate Dipped By 14%
Pushpa Narayan | TNN
Chennai: As startling tales of babies being stolen tumble out of hospitals every day,the Chennai Corporations birth registry shows a striking trend of babies getting scarce.In the last 10 years,while Chennai has seen an increase in population by over 16%,there has been a drop in child birth by nearly 14%.
While demographic experts cite effective family planning and awareness as vital contributory factors,doctors dont rule out infertility problems among couples for the dip in child birth.The 2001 Census shows that Chennais population was nearly 43 lakh and the birth registry recorded 1.2 lakh child births.In 2009,the citys population was estimated at 50 lakh.The same year,the civic body recorded a little over one lakh births.
The decline in the number of child births has been consistent since 2001, says Chennai Corporation commissioner Rajesh Lakoni.Population experts say that while many people in the city are now delaying marriage and child birth for professional reasons,several couples have restricted themselves to one child.Until some years ago,girls were married off early.Now,girls try to delay their marriage.Even after marriage for various reasons including careers,many women take birth control pills to push pregnancy as farther as possible.There is a considerable number of women in the city who have their child after the age of 32.While some naturally lose the fertile period,others adopt ways to avoid further pregnancies, said former director of public health Dr S Elango.
Though many gynaecologists dont deny this,they say the larger reason could be because of the increase in increasing fertility troubles.We are seeing a marked increase in the number of people visiting our clinics.Ten years ago,infertility was estimated to be about 15% of adult population.There is no recent study for reference.But going by the number of cases,we can say that the incidence must have gone up by at least 5% in recent years.We see many couples,young and old,walking in with infertility problems, said obstetrician-gynaecologist Dr Jayashree Gajaraj,ex-president,Federation of Obstetrician-Gynaecologist Society of India.The success rate for infertility treatment has not crossed 35% even at the best of fertility centres.
So a large percentage of them do remain childless even after treatment.Some of them dont even attempt it because its expensive and does not have an insurance cover, she added.
Doctors like sexologist Dr Narayana Reddy dont rule out the impact of rapid changing lifestyle on fertility.Lifestylerelated problems like obesity,hypertension and diabetes,besides pollution,smoking and alcohol addiction contribute to the problem.Nearly 18% of the city population are diabetics.An equal number of them have blood pressure.Many youngsters smoke.All these take a toll on a persons sex life.We also see men with low sperm counts and other sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction, he said.
Fertility expert Dr Priya Selvaraj said the common problem among women is delayed pregnancy.Since many put their careers ahead,they come to us very late.When we diagnose them we see serious gynaecological problems, she said.
