Back in 2013, a man came to our orphanage, heartbroken after his wife passed away during childbirth. He entrusted his 10-day-old baby to us, the little one frail and needing special care. We, moved by his plight, welcomed the child into our loving home. Two and a half years later, the father returned, wanting to take his child back. While we felt he wasn’t ready to provide the care the child needed, we eventually yielded to his request and he took the child away. Now, we’re worried about the child’s well-being. What legal options do we have to ensure the child receives the care they deserve?
Best Answer
Indian law allows for reporting child neglect or abuse to the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) or the police. You can approach these authorities with your concerns about the child’s well-being and provide details about the situation, including the father’s previous inability to provide care. The CWC can investigate and intervene to ensure the child’s safety and well-being.
