NAVI MUMBAI: Even as the reputation of several shelters and orphanages in the state recently came under a cloud because of incidents of abuse, two boys were reported missing from a prominent street children's shelter in Koparkhairane.

The two boys-Manoj Kadam (11) and Akash Pawar (15) -had reportedly walked out of Mermier Bal Ashram in Sector 11, Koparkhairane, on October 17. Two days later, shockingly , Manoj's body was discovered in the creek at Vashi while Akash continues to remain missing.
The reason behind their sudden disappearance from the shelter remains a mystery.

Boy who died was at shelter for 7 years

When TOI contacted Mermier Bal Ashram, its officials confirmed that the boys went missing and Manoj was later found dead. "On our CCTV records, the boys were last seen walking out of the ashram on October 17. The two were not close friends so we don't know why they did this," said ashram administrator N Sawant.

Manoj, who was taken into the ashram as his mentally unbalanced mother could not take care of him, had been at the shelter for seven years, while Akash was there for nine. "Akash's parents were very poor and would camp at railway stations," said Sawant. "They were at Grant Road station, then at Malad and then Mira Road." The ashram, run by Jan Vikas Society, was founded in 2001 to shelter and educate poor street children. Now, it has 35 boys who go to day and night schools in the area.

The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) in Thane has initiated an official inquiry into the incidents . When asked if the boys were facing any problems in the shelter or had had a fight with other boys there, Sawant said: "Sometimes, the kids do have petty fights over minor issues like sharing pencils and crayons. But we don't know of any particular reason why these two kids went missing; the CWC is investigating that."
