PANAJI: The Dickensian nightmares from the Merces-based juvenile home Apna Ghar continue to pour out with Children’s Rights in Goa, an NGO, on
Saturday filing a police complaint against two caretakers for allegedly abusing and assaulting two minor boys over four months ago.

The complaint follows an inquiry report submitted on February 16 by the principal magistrate of the Juvenile Justice Board to the Women and Child Development department for “action and compliance” in the matter. On October 6, 2008, the CRG filed an application before the JJB for an inquiry into an incident, three days prior, where two minors were allegedly assaulted and abused by caretakers Raju and Minguel.
