LUCKNOW: A multi-disabled destitute boy, about six years old, found abandoned in Charbagh, has exposed government's apathy towards the most helpless. The plight of mentally and physically disabled boy can make the hard-hearted go weak, but officers are unmoved. Neither there is any special asylum for such destitute in UP, nor government departments -- disabled welfare, women & child welfare, social welfare -- are ready to keep the boy in their shelter homes.

This is not the only case. A mentally retarded teenaged boy under treatment at SPM Civil Hospital, who was discharged two days back, was left on the streets as no one was ready to provide shelter to him. Similar fate awaits a mentally retarded woman under treatment in RML Hospital. Admitted after she delivered a baby on roadside, the woman was apparently raped by some pervert. Over 35 mentally retarded destitute have been found abandoned in the city this year so far.
