Surat: Four street urchins addicted to liquid adhesive for intoxication were rescued from Soni Faliya by a coordinator of Friends for Women and Children (FFWC), an initiative of CID (crime). Piyush Shah, the coordinator, saw the four children aged between eight and 15 years smelling some liquid. When Shah stopped them, they threw away the bottles and started running. They were, however, nabbed with the help of some locals and taken to the police station. “Initially, they were reluctant in disclosing, but later admitted that they regularly smell adhesives for intoxication,” Shah said. It was learnt that of the four children, the eight-year-old and nine-year-old are siblings and are orphans, while the 14-year-old does not live with his parents as he used to be beaten up. They beg and make a living. The eldest, a 15-year-old is employed by a horse cart owner to take children coming to Gandhi Baug on rides.
