Innocents not even safe in childcare homes: Report

Rewa police in Madhya Pradesh has launched a probe into allegations of sexual abuse of minor girls at an adoption centre after a complaint by a California-based couple who adopted the three minor girls and a boy. The children were adopted from Aanchal Shishu Griha in Rewa, run by Nivedita Kalyan Samiti on March 15, 2019.

Rewa: Children homes are not so much 'home' to the little ones in Madhya Pradesh. A revelation made during counselling of children adopted from Rewa's private organisation Nivedita Kalyan Samiti has brought shame upon the country.

The American counsellor conveyed the disgraceful piece of info to the Government of India following which Rewa SP has constituted an investigation team to probe the matter.

This is how the case was exposed

Clinton and Amanda, residents of the United States had four months ago adopted minor children from Rewa's private organisation Nivedita Kalyan Samiti. As per the law there, the children were first taken to Children's Home Agency for post replacement reporting. During counselling, the juveniles revealed that they had been sexually abused in the children home in Madhya Pradesh.

The news stirred the government

The counsellor then immediately informed the new parents of the kids along with sending the information to the government of India. As the Indian government received the information, there was an uproar among the officials. The Madhya Pradesh' government was informed about this without any further ado.

The Directorate of Women and Child Development has taken the matter seriously and sought an action in the case from Rewa Collector.

Investigation team formed

Rewa Police has formed an investigation team in connection to the case and the probe is underway. Nivedita Kalyan Samiti's license has been revoked and all the children living there have been shifted to the nearest Matra Chhaya childcare home in Satna.
