1. To abandon one's children may be sinful but it is not an offence under any provision of law for the time being in force.

2. Since she has left the kids with her in-laws so let the grandparents of the children bring them up. The maximum which the grandparents can do is to file a case for maintenance against the mother of the kids for and on behalf of the kids. It is the duty of the mother to maintain the kids financially.

1. Lodge a police complaint against her for dangerously leaving her children without care and not accepting them.

2. If police refuses to take any action against her, then file a Writ Petition against police inaction before the High Court making her private party with a prayer to direct the lady to take custody of her own children even if they are girl child.

3. The High Court will adequately reprimand her and the incidence may be reported in press giving her enough public and social shame.

1. Your logic is acceptable legally.

2. Lodge the police complaint and file the Writ petition before the High court as advised in my earlier post and in the High Court, your lawyer should forward the said argument seeking punishment for the mother of those girl children.

You cannot punish any one, that is illegal and a crime.
