A 12-year-old girl with special needs and her two brothers aged 7 and 8 have been taken into custody to ensure their safety.

Police said that the father of the children had passed away. Police have taken steps to hospitalize the mother who was lying on the floor in the house at Unnaruwa, Minuwangoda without medical treatment.

Police said the two boys had attended school some time ago but had abandoned their studies due to poverty.

Police said the children will be presented before the Minuwangoda Magistrate and then will be placed in appropriate custody.
