Child-selling racket: Child Welfare Committee declares rescued children to be free for adoption

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The Child Welfare Committee of Medchal-Malkajgiri district in Telangana has declared 15 children who were rescued by police from a child-selling racket busted earlier this year as 'Legally Free for Adoption '. Official sources on Wednesday said the Committee decided the children to be LFA as per Section 38 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 as their biological parents could not be traced. Section 38 of the Act stipulates that the Committee, in case of an orphan and abandoned child, shall make all efforts to trace the parents or guardians of the child and on completion of such inquiry, if it is established that the child is either an orphan having no one to take care, or abandoned, the Committee shall declare the child legally free for adoption. The court also gave directions to the Central Adoption Resource Authority to decide within four weeks on the applications filed by some of the "adoptive parents" seeking adoption of the children.
