GET BACK OUR CHILDREN
The number of children going missing is rising, reports Anuradha Varma
IN 2008. the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC ) I pegged the number of children going missing at 44000. Today. the number has risen to 60000 annually. Of these. many remain missing. Bollywood producer RK Soral has put up , the picture of his daughter i Anamika, who went missing in 1999. on social network ing sites in the hope of finding her. He writes. “Some i days are paralysing. As you’ wake every morning. the I nightmare begins again. We 1 cannot give up hope.” ,
While a parent’s pain is palpable. the system is largely apathetic. believe social organisations. The CRY (Child Rights and You) report states. “Child trafficking is not even recognised as a separate crime in India. The Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act. 1956. the only law to apply to traffickers. does not identify trafficking children as an offence <a target=”_new” rel=”nofollow” from. and as grave as. trafficking women.”
However. in high-profile cases. the turnaround time is faster. Says [aya Singh of CRY. “When NGOs and social activists put pressure on the police. the missing children are usually found. We don’t know if there’s a connection between the police and the criminals. Although the police response has been sluggish. a recent standard operating procedure mandates that action be taken within a day. People have to be made aware of the rules.”
Earlier this year. the NHRC sought the government’s response on 17.305 cases of missing children in Delhi alone. In what amounted to a serious violation of children’s rights. they reportedly went missing between 2008 and 2010 and 2.000 were yet to be traced. According to the CHI. there were over 800 gangs involved in kidnapping children for prostitution. organ-trading. begging and ransom in India and over 60.000 children had gone missing across the country in 2009.
The official data available on police websites is also misleading. says Rccna Banerjee of Nav Srishti. The situation has improved somewhat. but the number of FIRs filed in such cases has been low. Reena recalls when she was approached by a group of about four parents to take up their case with the police. “They were not well-to-do and the police usually recorded the cases in their daily diaries instead of filing FIRs. When we went through the files. we found a huge number of children going missing.”
She adds. “We filed an RTI in December last year on the police effort behind tracing the missing children and the budgetary support allocated for it. We were told that they had no records. The police can be callous; some parents have been told that if they could give birth to the kids. they should look for them too.”
In the underprivileged sections. it’s usually lack of access to safe playing spaces and creches that creates a problem. Often. the perpetrator is someone known or familiar to the child. At times. children can be lost when travelling on a train: there are also those who run away after witnessing domestic violence or corporal punishment in school or pressure to study. With both parents<a target=”_new” rel=”nofollow”
working the child is largely unprotected. Sometimes. children arc sent out to work. but disappear thereafter. While the FIRs filed are higher for the upper strata. it’s the lower sections whose kids go missing more often.
Says [aya. “The recovery rate is low. Madhya Pradesh and Delhi have the highest figures. with nearly 18 kids going missing daily in Delhi.”
As awareness grows. the light at the end of the tunnel rna. glow brighter!
