Acknowledgement
At the outset, I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to Dr. M.P.Nirmala, I.A.S (Retd.) for providing me with this opportunity to undertake a study to look at the conditions of Children who were sent away from Government Homes. The experience in the field was challenging and tracing the children itself was a matter of challenge and we had a tough time trying to locate the children. I wish to thank the team of field investigators – Mr. Newton Durai in Tiruvannamalai District, Ms. Vidhyasankari in Cuddalore, Mr.P. Naresh, Ms. Shalini and Ms. Saranya in Tiruvallur District and Dr. Arun and Students from Nandanam College who supported us in the search for the children and also data collection. It is at the time of completion; I recollect with extreme gratitude the continuous source of support and strength offered by my friends Dr. R. Gopinath and Ms. D. Suvitha. The journey in search of the children who were sent away from the Government Homes made us realise that the life for these children was indeed tough. It makes us wonder whether some support system is possible for these children so that the quality of life of these children improve. - Dr R Sujatha - Director - Karupa Institute of Development of Initiatives -
Introduction: The assignment was to study the status of the 220 notified children and their livelihood in Tiruvannamalai (6), Cuddalore (10), Chennai, Kanchipuram & Tiruvallur districts (204). As per the given mandate and given instructions, tried to locate and visited 220 notified children’s villages as per the addresses provided by the Commission. (Tables 1 & 2) A field based survey was conducted in which, we were able to meet 145 children and interact with the family members. The remaining children we were unable to meet as the addresses were not correct and some had relocated without forwarding address (Table 3).

58.63% of the children were located and for 0.07% of the children, details could be elicited from the neighbours. On the whole, details of nearly 65% of the children, data could be collected with rather minimal details provided.

Condition of the Children: During the visit, it was seen that most of the children were dropouts and were working in small shops in their respective area along with their friend and family members in need of livelihood. Only five to six children were going to school. Three children reported that they were taken away by the police while playing in the beach and put them in a home. The three children said that they feel very insecure because atleast monthly twice investigators coming and repeatedly kept enquiring about them and their behavior. They felt that because of this, their neighbours were treating them with suspicion. The principle of fresh start as available in the JJ Act seeks to liberate juvenile offenders from the stain of a criminal conviction and offers them a second chance, a fresh start free of the social and economic disabilities which often accompany a conviction.
Table 4: Health status of the children
S.No Health Status of Children Number of Children 1 Good Health 58 2 Skin Problem 1 3 Breathing problem 3 4 Severe Skin allergy and Breathing problem 2 5 Kidney problem 1 6 leg fractured 1 7 Nerve problem 3 8 Sick person 1 9 TB 1 10 Not reported 74 Total 145
Family Situation: A similar study1 indicated that children from single-parent families were about 10 to 15 percent more likely to turn into delinquent than those children from similar social characteristics from two parent families. It is therefore essential that some effort is taken in the case of children to address their immediate environment – the family. Interventions like family therapy, counseling could alter family interaction pattern in case of the children in a favorable way. Families of identified children were mostly from poor economic status. Parents of all the children were daily wage earners, many of the parents were not living together, or father had two families. Five to six children had problems like kidney failure, heart problem, fits etc. The parents of some children said that their children were working as their family situation forced them to send their children to work. 7 children mentioned that they saved their daily wages by depositing in the chit funds, Neighbours also do not have good opinion of the children and this in turn makes the children more aggressive or withdrawn. Almost all the families were struggling for daily livelihood and it was often seen that they were forced to struggle even for their basic needs.

Housing conditions: Almost of them live in thatched houses and there was no proper housing available for them. During rainy seasons, they were temporarily shifted to community hall in the village during night time or to the neighboring houses. Only few of them occasionally lived in rented house.
Parents Education: Most of them were dropouts at the primary level itself due to family situation and none of them passed fifth standard.
Children’s Education: Children in that family studied up to middle school level only. After that they normally opt for daily labour work due to poverty. Of the 145 children, 85 are dropouts and another 10 are in child care centre. Therefore, only 50 students are in school or post-school institution at present (Table 5).

Food habits: All the family members are mainly dependent on PDS provisions mainly rice, dal, sugar and kerosene. Occasionally they consume non vegetarian food. Starvation and skipping meals were very common occurrences in the families.
Challenges faced while search of Children In areas like Korukkupet and Kodungiyur, the people are too rough. When we went in search of children they turned violent and came to beat us. Few Children parents are scolded how many people will come like. If you come and enquiring about our children they feel unsecured. Some children like 7 to 8 children are not good even now. Children raised so many issues and those are listed in Table 6.

------Conclusion:
This study was able to highlight that children who are vulnerable need to be taken care before being sent out of homes. It is in the best interests of the children to be with their families but in some cases, it will be useful if we consider their familial background and try to put them probably in hostels from where they can pursue their education. It is necessary to ensure that there needs to be a rehabilitation plan for each and every child so that they are given their due attention. There have been various parenting dimensions that are essential, two key dimensions, support and control, have been used to assess the quality of parenting behavior. The support dimension - labeled as warmth, responsiveness or acceptance, refers to parental behaviors toward the child that makes the child feel comfortable, accepted and approved. The support dimension can be represented as a range of positive and negative behavioral aspects such as acceptance, affection, love, support, warmth, responsiveness, sensitivity, communication and intimacy, but also hostility, neglect, and rejection These various aspects of parental support, whether negative or positive can be placed along the continuum of low to high support and is generally considered to be unidimensional. In general, supportive parenting behaviors are negatively linked to delinquency, indicating that high levels of support and warmth are associated with low levels of delinquency and that low levels of support or even rejection are linked to high levels of delinquency. It is thus in such instances, that when the family support and control dimensions are weak, it would be better to consider placing the child under proper care. It is not good to see that children fall again into bad practices due to their environment.
It was also during the survey mentioned that the repeated enquiries by various agencies without proper monitoring of the child’s progress sometimes causes lot of pain to the families and they feel that it intrudes with their day to day activities. They felt that it was like branding these children and sometimes makes the neighbours highly negative in their reactions to them. It
74 would be better to consider a proper monitoring mechanism that is also supportive and more compassionate so that real rehabilitation of the children happen d children enjoy their childhood.
