CCIs asked to reunite children with families

Managements of the Child Care Institutions (CCIs) should reunite the children, who run away from homes for various reasons and missing kids, with their families and help to groom them as good citizens, said Joint Director, Juvenile Welfare Department B.D.V. Prasad Murthy.

Participating in the one-day capacity building programme on ‘Safe family re-integration of children in need of care and protection,’ Mr. Murthy said it was the right of the children to stay with their parents and other family members, and asked the CCIs to help in forming a healthy society.

The programme was organised by the Forum for Child Rights in association with Children’s Emergency Relief International (CERI), on Monday.

‘Spread awareness’

Director of Global Advocacy, CERI, Ian Anand asked the CCIs to restore the children to their families as early as possible as home is the right and safe place for every child. Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Krishna district chairperson B.V.S. Kumar stressed the need for greater awareness on child- related Acts and laws for CCIs.

Dozens of adoptees from, among others, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Colombia and India today demonstrate in The Hague for financial support in the search for their biological parents. Recently, it emerged that many children from these countries were illegally adopted in the 1970s and 80s and that the Dutch government was looking away.

Unravelling the Mystery

as a child

Sunitha’s earliest photo at the Orphanage

I was born in a rural area of southern India at the beginning of 1979. I passed through a Catholic orphanage before reaching my adoptive home in Belgium, April 1981.

My adoptive parents already had two biological sons, aged 6 and 8. I grew up with the knowledge that my adoptive parents wanted a daughter. I learned later in life that they felt responsible for the death of their first son, who passed away from leukaemia. They wanted to provide a safe haven for a disadvantaged child. India came as a second choice because it was too complicated to adopt a Belgian child.

They had prepared two names for me. The feminine of the son they lost – Patricia and Angelique – like angel. Eventually, they kept my Indian name saying they liked it and it fitted well in Belgium.

Most Indian couples prefer child below age of 2 for adoption: Data

Over 80 per cent of children adopted in the country in 2017-18 were below the age of two and there were not many kids of this age group legally free for adoption, according to official data.

In 2017-18, 2,537 children below the age of two were adopted while the number above two years was just 597 children, the data given by the Central Adoption Resource Authority, the apex adoption body in the country, reflected.

In the age bracket of 2-4 years, 228 children were adopted; in the 4-6 years group, 143 children were adopted and above the age of 6 years, 226 children were adopted.

Couples in live-in relations cannot adopt, says CARA

‘Cohabitation not considered a stable family in India’

The nodal body for adoption in the country has barred partners in live-in relationships from adopting a child on the ground that cohabitation without marriage is not considered a stable family in India.

The Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) permits a single woman to adopt a child of any gender, while single men can adopt only boys.

Sunny Leone’s seemingly naked family pic including that of adopted daughter raises questions on India’s adoption laws

Pornstar and Bollywood actor Sunny Leone has found herself in a spot of bother after her husband Daniel Weber on Sunday decided to mark Father’s Day by posting a semi-naked photo of his family including that of their adopted daughter Nisha.

Sunny Leone

In the photo posted by Weber (whose identity on Instagram is @dirty99) posted the seemingly naked photo of their adopted daughter with the caption, “This is Fathers Day!!! The greatest love one can imagine !!! Thank You @sunnyleone for meeting Nisha Kaur and Falling in Love for both of us !!! You are always the one who knows Best. She is everything and has stole my heart forever !!!! Xoxoxo Thank You !!!! (sic)”

In the photo (see below), Leone appears to be unclothed. The child also seems to be without any clothes on with only Leone’s hands covering the little girl’s modesty. Weber, for his part, is seen lying next to both of them shirtless. It seems the photo has been taken by another individual.

The post evoked such nasty responses that some of them can’t even be reproduced here. They included vulgar comments for Leone targeting her for her porn business. There were also ‘pedophilia’ jibes aimed at Weber. Among the ‘saner’ comments, one user manal.hq wrote, “shame of India.” Another user sarcastically commented, “when u have addiction on being naked.” “Why are you naked?” asked one user. Many also wondered if the person clicking the photo was also naked. The overall theme of the public outrage was that they had subjected even a little girl to public exposure wearing little or no clothes.
