Every day the Indian Railway Police rescues many children from the
Sealdah station Kolkata, some who ran away from their home because
of the brutality they face every day, some who have been shown the
door by their parents and relatives, some who have been forced to get
lost because of poverty in the family, some who were on the verge of
being sold for money. Few social activists make conscious efforts to
keep the children away from various distractions in and around the
platform-antisocial activities, drug scams and various sources of illegal
income; children being employed to pick up used and stray bottles
from the station for money.
