Dear All,
Most of the Orphan trust is run for the money and they ill-treat the orphans. They are not well fed, abused, raped and tortured. This is one of the news among the heaps.
Such Trust must be thoroughly monitored &Trustee or management who follows such cruel practices must be punished.
If such trust is found of mismanagement and Ill-treatment State body or charity commissioner should take over the same so that they are well looked after.
Regards

Girls, boys raped daily, alcohol forced down their throats
A fresh charge sheet has raised hopes of justice for the 18 children who suffered rape, starvation, regular thrashing and sexual assault at an orphanage in Kavdas.
The children (13 boys and five girls) were rescued from the horror house on August 22, last year.
After being let down by the Child Welfare Committee, State government and the police, the children are inching towards justice.
A special team headed by Superintendent of Police Rashmi Karandikar has submitted an exhaustive charge sheet, narrating how the horrors extended from pitiable living conditions, almost no food, physical abuse, going right up to violent rape of the girls, and sodomy of the boys. Alcohol was often forced down their throats while their tormentors abused them.
Daily chores
The charge sheet lists how the mentally-challenged children, aged between seven and 13 years, were made to wake up at the crack of dawn, and slog through the day. Their chores included fetching water from a river located a km from the orphanage, cleaning the premises, and cutting grass to feed the cattle owned by the orphanage founder. Hesitation, delay or mistakes in carrying out the chores resulted in relentless beatings, the charge sheet said.
Once the children were done with the morning chores, which took them at least three hours, they given a dry chapatti each, which was basically leftover food from the previous night, with some watery dal.

The victims stated in fresh statements to Karandikar's team that they were never given tooth brushes, soap or hair oil. Bath was a luxury granted once in 15 days, and that too at the river.
At times, the five girls were made to wash clothes of all inmates. On paper, the orphanage had toilets, but none was functional. The children were forced to defecate in the open, the charge sheet said.
Post lunch, if one could call a dry chapatti and dal fare a lunch, the children were sent back to work, when they should have been studying in an in-house school. The orphanage had recruited teachers, and had shown classrooms on the premises while applying for licence to run the shelter home........

<About 20 million children, about 4% of their population in India>.
Children are defined as below 18 years age. If 4% of total children constitute 20 million, then that would give population of persons below the age of 18 as 500 million or roughly 40% of total. Of these how many are going to miss the opportunity of education, nutrition, and opportunity for decent life?

About 20 million children, about 4% of their population in India and higher than people living in Delhi, are orphan. Of them, parents of only 0.3% children have died and rest have been abandoned.
The figure is result of a study done by SOS Children's Village by analyzing data from National Family Health Survey-3 for the year 2005-06 and the population estimation by the Census of India to find the dark spots for children below the age of 18 in India.
It were the poorer states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, which had higher number of orphan children as compared to richer northern and southern states of India. As a result, the central zone has highest number of orphan children followed by east zone. The two zones also cover most of the naxal affected regions in India.
