Amber Alert for Indian missing/ lost/ trafficked children (We are featured in an article in the Indian Media)

Here is an article featuring our recent work. If you would like to join in this movement, we welcome you with open arms and we are determined to make a difference. Click on 'Full Screen' button on the top of the box and 'Zoom' buttons at the bottom of the box to adjust the reading in clear view.

It is my hope that some day India should have it's own proprietary software to track missing/ lost/ trafficked children and to network those individuals that are interested in the effort of restoration. In this context, I want to reiterate my recent call for any individual /group of software professional(s) (even the college students) that is/ are interested to develop such software to join. But till such a time, we'll work around with this social networking site. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me (in the comments section below) and I would be happy to answer them for you. Please share (through your blog, web site, facebook, and twitter accounts etc) this news with anyone that you know of would be interested to join in this movement.

Now, I want to take this opportunity to say WELCOME to Indiachildalert.

While surrendering a child (for adoption), child's biological parents requested that the child be allowed to follow their religion. How should CWC deal with such a request?

This request sounds silly because biological parents do not want the child, but they want the religion.  Child Welfare Committee (CWC) is duty bound to follow the JJ Act and its interpretation.  So, let’s take a look at the two different sections in the JJ Act to see how such a request can be handled.

What’s the difference between a ‘welfare based’ approach vs ‘rights based’ approach of child care?

Over the last 20 years, child care approach has evolved tremendously in India towards ‘rights based’ approach, thanks to the enactment of Juvenile and Justice Act (JJ Act).   If you’re running a child care institution and not following a rights based approach, you may be violating some of the fundamental rights and/ or fundamental principles of JJ act.
