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.

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.

Got much better idea now about adoption law in India

This entire training (Certificate course on Child Rights and Protection) time I have been searching and finding information about the laws on adoption in India. I am glad that I chose to attend this training and I have much better idea now than before. To begin with, all the adoption laws that one has to follow in India for now are in Juvenile and Justice Act, 2006 (JJA) created by the Parliament of India. We still have GAWA (Guardianship and Wards Act) and HAMA (Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act) in the books and they are still used when necessary (in times of inter-country adoptions) and if one chooses to do under those laws. JJA is very clear and precise as to how the adoption ought to be done in terms of a child that is been relinquished or abandoned. Before I say anything, I want you to understand one term called “Child Welfare Committee” or CWC. CWC is a statutory body created in JJA with the powers of bench of magistrates with powers of a metropolitan magistrate or a judici...
