The system is failing our children (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A forwarded message on a WhatsApp group recounted how guards recovered a child at a city hospital who was being secretly taken away from his mother. The child’s scream alerted the guards to challenge the woman who was trying to steal him. We heaved a collective sigh of relief that he did not add to the tally of 15,717 children who were reported missing across the country between January and July this year (2,038 of them still untraced). The number found a human face when the images of a 13-year-

Within nine days of launch, the page received nearly 10,000 complaints over alleged demand for br
