Frustrated with the lack of security at a shelter for rescued street children in Andheri, the Mumbai Police wrote to the Child Welfare Committee two months ago expressing their concern as approximately five kids run away from the home every year. Recently, an eight-year-old boy ran away.
In their letter, the police requested that children be provided shelter elsewhere.
