International Development: Children rescued by Indian NGO, now in Juvenile homes

The Pioneer, reports that 477 children "rescued" by Mumbai-based NGO Pratham, in coordination with the labour department of Delhi Government, have landed up in juvenile homes.

"Unable to put together a rehabilitation plan for the children and unable to bear the cost of food and lodging, Pratham on Sunday sent the children to 11 observation homes spread across the city. The homes mainly house juvenile delinquents".

Earlier The Pioneer, had published a report that revealed that rather than concern for the rehabilitation of the children, utilisation of UN funds prompted the high profile rescue.
