Today's newspaper reported a heart-warming story in a village in West Bengal who has adopted a widow with AIDS. She is allowed to freely mix with the families and even cuddle their children. His husband contracted AIDS which on job in Mumbai. Coming back home he unknowingly passed it on to his wife and three children. He died soon thereafter. Unfortunately their three young children also suffered from AIDS and died. She was left alone. Her mother was unable to support her; her husband's family was unwilling to take her in their fold. Then the village came forward and embraced her, gave her shelter, a new life and a will to live and fight. However I am left with one nagging question: How safe it is to let her handle children?
