3 lost kids end up in DMCH

SHAHEEN MOLLAH
Three children who had migrated to Dhaka in the face of extreme poverty ended up in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). They do not know what awaits them in the future and nobody came searching for them.
Asma Sharmin, 10, used to work as a domestic help to a family at Gabtoli area in the city for several months amid routine torture and scolding by her employer. On October 18 the employer took her to the DMCH and left her there. Now she has nowhere to go. Talking to The Daily Star Sharmin said, “My employer Jibon Nahar brought me here in the name of treatment. She left me here and never came back. I started crying after several hours of her departure and some hospital staff took me to a ward.”
She is still staying in a ward of the hospital without being registered as admitted. She is from Bhola but she couldn't recall the name of her village. She said she studied up to class three and that her father is poor.
Rafiq, a rickshaw-puller, brought her to Dhaka with a promise of a job about three to four months ago and found the work as a domestic help for her.
Sharmin said, “I could manage all the household work of the employer except giving baths to her children. For this she used to beat me every day.”
Tutul, 9, is a boy from Magura. He said, “One day I was loitering at the local train station about a year ago when a man asked me if I wanted to go to Dhaka and put me on a train. But the train took me to Chittagong. From there a woman brought me to Dhaka and since then I
have been working at Zia International Airport carrying luggage.”
He said he was earning a living. Two months ago he got on a train to go to Kamalapur with his friends. On the way he fell down from the running train and was severely injured.
Pedestrians rushed him to the DMCH where he is staying still.
Sayed Rony, 8, is from Mymensingh. He lost his legs eight days ago in a train accident at Kamalapur and being treated in the DMCH. He said, “I left home after having a spat with my mother and came to Dhaka. I don't know the exact date or the month. I used to beg at Kamalapur railway station. One day when I was playing with my friends, I was hit by a running train and fell down on the tracks, the train ran over my legs.”
The three kids are staying in ward No 33 in the hospital. Sympathetic ward staffs are looking after them although they do not know where they will go after the hospital discharges them in a few days. Nobody knows.
