CWC Grants Custody of Nine-Month-Old to Grandmother
Imagine a little baby named after his mother, Vaishnavi.
Sadly, his mother isn't around anymore.
Because of this, the Child Welfare Committee in Pune, India, made a big decision.
They looked at who could best care for the baby and decided the baby's grandma, Swati, was the right choice.
The committee said Swati is a 'fit person' meaning she can provide a good home.
They based this decision on a report that said her home is loving and safe.
This decision follows the law.
Swati will now make sure the baby is healthy, gets an education, and grows up well.
The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) granted custody of a nine-month-old child to his maternal grandmother.
The decision followed a social investigation report that deemed the grandmother a 'fit person'.
The report indicated that the grandmother's environment was suitable for the child's welfare.
The CWC's decision aligns with the Juvenile Justice Act.
The grandmother is responsible for the child's education, health, and development.
