The team that went to meet the family has assured the child's aunt that other suitable   measures will be taken if she faces any problem  to support the child.

In the case of two other children, the committee though  found the families of the children but in both case  their families refused to accept them and keep them.

Among these, one seven year old boy is a resident of Kurchi village of Govindpur police station and the other is of Kharakabad village under the same police station.

The boy from Kurchi village was sent from Patna shelter home to Dhanbad to meet his family.

The boy from Khadakabad village recognized his grandfather's house but his family members refused to recognize him. The main reason for this is said to be that  his mother married  a man from another  had performed  intereligion marriage and had left home . Later,the  father too abandoned this child.
