DNA test to be conducted as woman from Kozhikode ‘reclaims’ child placed in Ammathottil

A woman from Kozhikode, Kerala, has initiated the process to reclaim a child she had previously placed in an Ammathottil facility. The facility, designed to provide temporary care for children, will conduct a DNA test to confirm the woman's biological relationship with the child. This step is a standard procedure to ensure the child's safety and verify parental claims before reunification.

This situation highlights the critical role of facilities like Ammathottil in safeguarding children while also emphasizing the importance of rigorous verification processes for family reunification.
