KOCHI: Janaseva Sisubhavan has urged the authorities to strengthen legal measures to protect street children. Jose Maveli, president of Janaseva Sisubhavan, said here on Monday that incidents of handing over children rescued from the street to their parents (who forced them into beggary) were going up. The parents were using loopholes in the Juvenile Justice Act to ensure the custody of their children, he said. Mr. Maveli said that a few children, who were handed back to their parents, returned to Janaseva Sisubhavan fearing that they would be tortured and forced to beg on the street. P.K. Shamsuddin, former judge and patron of Janaseva Sisubhavan, called for setting up quasi-judicial tribunals to save street children.
