Abandoned boy from mainland reunited with family
A boy who was found alone at Kwong Wah Hospital in July has been reunited with his family in accordance with a court order, the Social Welfare Department said. It said social workers had formulated a suitable welfare plan for the 12 year old who was born in the SAR but lived with his family on the mainland. They will keep in touch with the family to ensure that he is taken good care of, the department added. RTHK has learnt that the child was not handed over to his mother. She was charged in July with ill-treating or neglecting the boy. The 37 year old is due to appear before Kowloon City Court on September 11.
