Texas girl had no eating problem, says orphanage owner in India

Dallas, October 26 : The owner of a now-closed orphanage in India where a young girl was living before a Texas couple adopted her last year says the child had no difficulty eating despite her adoptive father’s account to police when reporting her missing. The body of three-year-old Sherin Mathews was found on Sunday in suburban Dallas in a culvert under a road about a half-mile from her parents’ home. Police and volunteers had been searching for the girl since October 7.
Investigators have said that her father, Wesley Mathews, initially told them he had sent the girl outside at 3 am on October 7 to stand near a tree across the alley from the family’s fence because she refused to drink her milk. He said he went to check on her after about 15 minutes.Mathews told police the girl had been malnourished when she was adopted and needed to eat whenever she was awake to help her gain weight. But orphanage owner Babitha Kumari told television station WFAA that the girl had no problems and that Wesley and Sini Mathews appeared loving when they were going through the adoption process. “The child had no problem at all when she was here, neither in drinking milk or eating,” Kumari said.
