A father who murdered his baby just weeks after adopting her may have slipped under the radar as he was seen as a "positive parent", a review has found.

Elsie Scully-Hicks died in May 2016 when she was 18 months old.

She was subjected to a catalogue of injuries by killer Matthew Scully-Hicks in the eight months he had care of her.

A child practice review said these were never considered anything other than "childhood accidents".

Cardiff and Vale's Regional Safeguarding Children Board agreed that while Elsie's death could not have been predicted it could potentially have been prevented.

Maneka Gandhi tweeted that she was “deeply anguished” by the rape of 34 young girls by staff at a government-funded home in Bihar, a case that has caused nationwide outrage since it was uncovered last month.

But Anant Kumar Asthana, a child rights lawyer who advises homes on legal compliance, said phones and helplines were not the solution, calling the case a “glaring example of how pathetic the system is”.

“Giving posters and telephones is not sufficient because these children are living in an institution and know that if they complain, people inside will come to know,” Asthana told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

“We must acknowledge the vulnerabilities of such children. These childcare institutions are basically incarceration facilities where children are locked up and they have no agency, no free will or sufficient protections.”

Sexual and physical abuse are common in India’s care homes, where many children are placed by parents who are too poor to feed, clothe and shelter them, campaigners say.

Data provided by CARA reveals that more girls were put up for adoption in the last two years

New Delhi: It was touted as a sign of changing social mores. In May this year, the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), under the Maneka Gandhi-led Ministry of Women and Child Development, claimed that since 2012, nearly 60 per cent of those adopted across the country were girl children.

CARA CEO, Lt. Col. Deepak Kumar, even went on record to say that this had nothing to do with more girls being given away for adoption. He instead asserted that Indian couples were “preferring” girls.

But ThePrint has now found that there is more to it than growing progressive mindsets among Indians who want to be parents, at least in the last two years. CARA, in an RTI response, has said that 60 per cent of the children registered for adoption in the last two years have been girls.
