Maybe, but until the OP makes contact with the Indian relatives we just don't know.

I have mad contact with both sides of her family and they said she dont belong here. She feels lost. they also told me that in due course they will need our help to get the girl back to UK.

Thank you for all your responses. How life plays tricks on us its amazing. As a matter of fact her father was a child safety officer working for the local council. the childs next of kin would have been the father or mother, BOTH ARE NO MORE alive.

We understand that both her parents died but as she still has family, she should still have a legal next of kin.

I think it is exceptionally early to be making decisions for this poorly, bereaved young lady. Don't rush things.

What a sad story, children are more flexible than adults, she will soon adapt to a new environment should she need to with her family around her.

Hope she has a speedy recovery.

Then kinship passes to her nearest living relatives of which, by the sounds of it, she has many, not you or the state.

Have you contacted the British embassy, they will sort everything out.

Fairenough - your posts state that she HAS family in the UK and also that she HASN'T. Which one is it?

And who has stepped forward as her "next of kin" someone in the UK or in India?

Is there a Will where her parents have nominated next of kin?

Who is paying for her hospital care now? It sounds like family in India are doing so, which may indicate there is no travel insurance.

If there is a relative in the UK then they need to find out if there was indeed any travel insurance to repatriate her and whether she has any right given her visa status to be return to the UK. So they need to make a call to the Home Office.

Sad though it is for you and others in the local community who know her, if ALL her family is now in India then in all likelihood she will need to remain there to be cared for by relatives locally. You could still keep in touch and support her from afar.

Wishing her all the best for her recovery.

With all due respect, what has it to do with the British Embassy? The child is in her homeland being cared for in the hospital, if the parents didn't have travel ins it's nothing to do with the BE.
She had relatives there, not here.
I know it's harsh but we can't pay for everything/everyones care, no matter how sad the case.

The Brithish embassy only help British citizens. The girl and her parents is/were Indian nationals.
