The grandmother of the little girl who was dumped by her father at a railway station in Melbourne has been granted custody by the New Zealand courts. The child, dubbed as Pumpkin because she was wearing Pumpkin Patch clothing has been deprived of her mother because of her murder.

Qian’s half-sister, Grace also asked for custody of her sister, but the judge decided that what was best for the child was to go to China to be with her grandmother. Grace will be allowed to have access to her half-sister.

I am not sure if this is a good result for little Pumpkin, but what is paramount is that the child receives good care from family members.
