The Mother Theresa 'Babies for Sale' Scandal
Another scandal breaks on commerce centred on babies, orphans, and adoptions in charitable institutions. This time in India.
All Mother Teresa homes inspected amid baby-selling scandal
India orders examination of all institutions run by her charity after claims against two staff
Tue 17 Jul 2018 10.13 BST
India has ordered the immediate inspection of all childcare homes run by the Missionaries of Charity, the Catholic congregation established by Mother Teresa, after employees at one shelter were accused of selling babies for adoption.
The inspections were announced by the ministry for women and childhood development after a Missionaries of Charity home in Jharkhand state was shut this month following the arrest of a nun and a social worker employed there.
Sister Konsalia Balsa and social worker Anima Indwar were accused of having already sold three babies from the home, which provides shelter for pregnant, unmarried women.
They were accused of trying to sell a fourth baby, a two-month old boy born in March, for about £1,325. The parents, a couple from Uttar Pradesh state, were told the proposed adoption was legitimate and that the money was for hospital expenses.
