(13) Chanti is asked to apply her thumb print...
(14) To a document she cannot read...
(15)...does not understand and whose contents are misrepresented to her by those present for the signing - including, according to Chanti, at least one representative of LICADHO. LICADHO refuses to either confirm or deny that one of its representatives was present or that the NGO played any role at all in the illegal removal of Rosa and Chita from their family.
(16) After she has signed it, Citipointe...
(17) ... tells Chanti that she has agreed to...
(18)..visiting rights to Rosa and Chita...
(19)...of only 2 hours each fortnight...
(20)...to be supervised by Citipointe staff.
Chanti is also told, in early August 2008, that Rosa and Chita will, in accordance with the 'contract' Chanti has signed, remain with Citipointe until they are 18 years old - 12 years in the case of Rosa and 13 years in the case of Chita. On 11th August 2008 Rebecca Brewer confirms in an email to James Ricketson that Rosa and Chita will remain with Citipointe until they are 18 years old - unless Chanti and Chhork can, with their own resources (since Citipointe refuses to off the family any financial assistance at all, contrary to its promises of just weeks earlier) prove that they can both house and feed the girls. As it happens, by November 2008 Chanti and Chhork can do just that but when they ask for Rosa and Chita to be returned to their care...
...to be continued...
