Four allegedly abused boys return home

DONG NAI — Four allegedly abused boys who escaped from a charity orphanage in southern Dong Nai Province were returned to their provincial authorities on Tuesday.

Two of them would go back to their families while the others would live in the Bien Hoa Orphanage, said provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Le Thi My Phuong.

The boys, aged 4,5,6 and 13, were found with injures to their bodies on a street in HCM City on November 8 after escaping from the Dong Nai Open House.

HCM City Social Protection Centre, where the boys have been living since they were found, has also transferred money donated to the children by benefactors totalling VND7 million (US$350) to authorities in Dong Nai Province.

The police are still investigating the case. — VNS
