Testing 'IndiaChildAlert' Network

You're probably reading this post because you have received an alert (from IndiaChildAlert) on your mobile phone that you've used to join 'IndiaChildAlert' network' First and foremost I want to thank you for your willingness to join this network

This is not an alert but to test the system that we have set it up for any missing/ lost/ found/ trafficked/ kidnapped child in our country. I would like for you to do something (at the time of your convenience) to help in this process.

We do not know how many people have joined (Twitter doesn't display nor report privately) but if you take a minute to write your thoughts in the comments section below (an empty white box below this post) and how we can market this idea to the larger audience, hopefully we can make a dent for the children in need of our help.

I approached Twitter and they have graciously agreed for us to use their network for this purpose and I had also asked them for content modification which they said that they'll look into it and get back to me. So please spread the word around to others to join in this all too important network of national importance.

Again, thank you for joining and looking forwarding to working with you for the children of India.

It is the love of the Mother

Exactly a month ago – 24th of August, I was in Guwahati on an assignment for the Government of India. Here in Vellore, we have been hosting a 14 year old boy (Sanidas) who was rescued by railway protection force who belongs to the state of "Assam" for the past seven months. He is from a place called "Lumding Junction" which is three hours east of Guwahati. We requested for police escort but it never came. Since I was going so far to Guwahati I thought that I might as well take the child with me and drop him off with the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) there for them to restore him back to his family. Unfortunately I couldn’t get train reservation so I abandoned that idea and planned an alternative. I took the information (child’s photo, a letter from him and all the details to pin point his house etc) with me and thought to seek the help of the office that I am going to be at. When I presented the details, child’s family was tracked in two hours time. I was told ...

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.
