Consent of parents for neglected and abused child staying at home under CWC
3 years ago
A neglected and abused girl child(16+ years) is currently staying at Govt. recognized home under CWC. She had the allegation against her biological parents that she might be sold out to Rajasthan in the name of marriage and so she took the help of child line and went to home. It's now 8 months the child is there. The child was deprived by them only and she did not want to go back to them. Now if any family wants to take her custody as foster parents does it really require the consent from the biological parents who are actually culprit? If required, then what is the point to get consent from the persons who were responsible to put the child in such disastrous situation.

The CWC will have discretion with regard to this. Considering the girl's advanced age, she can also testify to waive the biological parents' consents.

No, considering the circumstances, you can petition the Court to waive their consent. The CWC also has the discretion to take a decision in this regard, they can be approached.
