Minor sisters rescued from tyrant mother
They were made to do all the household work; Confined inside the house, not allowed to play outside
A heartless mother not only ill-treated her two daughters, only 7 and 6 years old, but also made them do all the household work. She did not even allow them to go outside to play, and did not take proper care of them.
Childline coordinator Rahul Gothane said this troubling incident took place in Khajrana area. He said they had received information that a 7-year-old girl had been kept confined at her house by her mother who also ill-treated her. Realising that it might become a sensitive issue, the Childline members took the help of Khajrana police and went to the girl's house. There they found the 7-year-old making puris, while her mother was sleeping. The little girl had also burnt herself while preparing the puris. To their surprise, the team found that the little girl had a sister, a year younger, who was also being ill-treated by her mother.
The Childline team gained the confidence of the two girls and they said that her parents separated around six months back and since then they had been staying with their mother. They told the team that her mother ill-treated her and made them do all the household work and never allowed them to go out.
The girls told the team that they wanted to live with their father and grandmother.
The parents of the girl were brought to the Khajrana police station where they were counselled. The girl's father refused to lodge a complaint against the mother.
Later, the couple and the girls were presented before the Child Welfare Committee by the Childline team. In front of the Committee, the girls said that they want to stay with their grandmother and father. The CWC handed over the girls to their grandmother and father.
