Heartless or helpless…difficult to comment in this case where this 3 year old girl has been abandoned by her parents. A three year old girl has been left in Palna Grah of MB Hospital. This little innocent child can neither see nor walk. 10 days back she was ‘abandoned’ by parents unknown. Her body is covered with blisters.

Initially, hospital administration declared the child as healthy and informed about her to Priti Jain, President Child Welfare Committee. Priti Jain sent her to the state crèche. When the crèche people noticed that the little girl was not healthy as stated, they sent back information to CWC. Since the child was suffering from skin disease and it could have been contagious, she was sent to Narayan Seva Sansthan temporarily. On 6^th July, CWC President along with Dr. BK Gupta and Dr. Rajkumari Bhargava went to visit the child at Narayan Seva Sansthan. There was no improvement in the child’s condition. Manager Sanjay Dave of Narayan Seva Sansthan said that the child needed medical treatment.  As per Dave’s request, CWC sent the child to hospital again. Hospital administration has reported to Hathipole police station about the child. This is the first time that a 3 year old has been abandoned by the parents. Until now the Palna Grah has only seen infants left at their door.

The child’s parents are being searched by the police. Once the parents are found it will be clarified that the child has been ruthlessly abandoned or were the parents too helpless to look after her.
