Filmmaker Huibert van Wijk has won the Karen de Bok Talent Prize 2020 with his film plan Kind van de Tijd. He will receive 25,000 euros for the development of the film, in which he, together with his father Lex and his brother Tim, who was adopted from Indonesia, look back on how that adoption went in the 1970s.

“Through the personal story, the documentary maker addresses social issues, such as the makeability of the composite family, illegal adoption and the tension between good intentions and white saviorism,” said the jury. Van Wijk managed to hit all jury members with his plan. “The plan is convincing because form and style as well as expressiveness are well thought out.”

The Karen de Bok Talent Prize was awarded on Thursday for the fourth year in a row to the winning documentary plan of the IDFAcademy & NPO fund workshop. The winner can continue to develop the plan together with a broadcaster, after which an application for a production contribution can be submitted to the NPO fund.

Former winner Marina Meijer won the Golden Calf for Best Short Documentary this year at the Netherlands Film Festival. She won the prize with the film Carrousel, for which she received the Karen de Bok Talent Prize in 2017.

Karen de Bok was a program maker and editor-in-chief of Television at VPRO for many years. She passed away in January 2017.

In this regulation, the following definitions apply:

NEW DELHI: Over 600 child care institutions, run by NGOs and housing 28,000 children, received up to Rs 6 lakh per child in foreign funds in 2018-19, far more than the estimated average expenditure, the apex child rights body NCPCR said as it expressed apprehensions of possible financial irregularities.

In a random analysis of information about 638 NGO-run CCIs in five states, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) found that in 2018-19 the average amount they collected was between Rs 2.12 lakh to Rs 6.60 lakh per child and it is now planning a country-wide exercise to examine the foreign funding and expenditure of such NGOs, according to NCPCR Chairperson Priyank Kanoongo.

As per the Child Protection Scheme, the expenditure per child per annum including all recurring expenses is about Rs 60,000.

"Such a high amount of money collected by the NGOs has raised concerns about possible siphoning of funds. We will be carrying out a country-wide exercise and, accordingly, action would be taken," Kanoongo told PTI.

He said a "country-wide analysis" of the foreign funds received by NGOs run child care institutions will be carried out.

The government has constituted a multi-agency team to investigate allegations of child theft and trafficking in the country.

Labour CS Simon Chelugui on Tuesday reiterated the government’s commitment to ensure safety of children in the country, adding that he will do everything possible to get to the bottom of child trafficking claims.

This comes after a BBC documentary that exposed how babies are being stolen in Kenya to feed a thriving black market.

In its expose titled 'Buying a baby on Nairobi's black market', Africa Eye infiltrated the trafficking rings selling children for as little as Sh300,000.

“We therefore assure Kenyans that our health facilities are secure and safe for mothers and children. We further urge the public to report to government agencies any case involving child loss,” the CS said.

NEW DELHI: A random analysis by National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) covering over 600 NGOs running child care institutions showed that going by FRCA data on the quantum of donations in 2018-19, the average amount received per child in these CCIs ranged between Rs 2.12 lakh and Rs 6.60 lakh.

The analysis covered 638 NGOs across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Telangana and Karnataka that housed around 28,900 children at the time the NCPCR commissioned the social audit in 2018-19.

On why these five states were chosen, NCPCR chief Priyank Kanoongo said the audit in 7,163 homes in 2018-19 found around 2.56 lakh children in CCIs. Of these, over 1.63 lakh were in five southern states. NCPCR decided to analyse trends in foreign funding by taking these five states first, an official said. The NCPCR plans to study the trend further and extend the analysis to other states too.
“We are not alleging anything but yes, we want that whatever money is coming into the country should be used for the benefit of the child as these CCIs are under the Juvenile Justice Act,” the NCPCR chief said.
The random analysis was carried out by picking NGOs running CCIs audited by the Lucknow-based Academy of Management Studies in 2018-19. Kanoongo said they took the FCRA data available on the home ministry’s website (www.fcraonline.nic.in) for the year 2018-19.

“The calculation was carried out with the receipt of foreign contribution by NGOs running CCIs against the number of children staying during the social audit,” he said, adding that the expenditure per child per annum, including all recurring expenses, came to about Rs 60,000.

Tana-Julie Bichon woke up at home in Paris, when a message popped up on her phone saying 'We have found your mother.'

The sender was Nguyen Giang, a hospitality student living in Paris, who had learned three days earlier that Tana had been adopted as a baby by a French couple in Vietnam in 1996.

After listening to her story, Giang quickly posted Tana’s information, including her old photos and her Vietnamese mother’s name and address, on a Facebook group.

She wrote on behalf of Tana: "I just want more information about my family so I can go to Vietnam and visit my hometown. If you have information about my mother, my sister, or whether my home address still exists, please let me know."

Fifteen minutes later a Vietnamese woman contacted Giang.

The Romanian Parliament adopted today, November 3, 2020, by unanimous vote (270 votes in favor) fundamental improvements to law 273/2004 on the adoption procedure, changes long debated but also expected by the approximately 50,000 children in the child protection system but and future adoptive parents. "I confess that the desperate requests I received from my parents in search of the child to love and protect are the ones that motivated me to get involved in the last two years, two long years, in debating and completing the law adoption. Starting from a very good project, initiated by the PSD Government in September 2018, I debated the law with the civil society both in Bra?ov, on November 2, 2018 but also in Bucharest, in June 2019. Then, I worked, together with Oana Bîzgan, for other parliamentary colleagues, to a series of amendments that I supported and that are found in the law voted today. We want the law voted today to mean a much shorter stay of children in the child protection system and a much faster integration of them in the family, where they have to live and grow. " - said the PSD deputy, Roxana Mînzatu. Among the beneficial legal provisions adopted today by the Chamber of Deputies are: - The extension from 2 years to 5 years of the validity of the certificate of adoptive family.The certificates valid on the date of entry into force of this law extend their validity until the fulfillment of the term of 5 years from the date of their issuance. - A child may be declared adoptable without the consent of relatives up to the fourth degree; extended family relatives remain among the categories with priority in the placement of the child and then match for adoption of the child, if desired. - A child will be able to be declared adoptable more quickly by shortening the time limits in which natural parents over the age of 18 declare in writing that they give up caring for the child and in which they can return to the initial declaration - In the case of siblings the special protection system, which are protected in the administrative-territorial area of ??the same directorate, is appointed by the same case manager. Also, adoptive parents who have already adopted a sibling also gain priority in matching the other siblings in the child protection system. - The application for approval of the adoption is simplified by eliminating the obligation to legalize the documents at the notary - they will be certified by each DGASPC. - Children declared adoptable will be able to benefit from the chance in a family even after reaching the age of 14, remaining adoptable until adulthood. - The definition of persons with whom the child enjoyed family life and who have priority in the matching procedure with the adoptable child / children is extended. -The accommodation allowance and allowances that adoptive parents receive are aligned with the benefits enjoyed by any biological parent - for example, the allowance of 85% of the average net income of the adoptive parent in the last 12 months of the last 2 years prior to the decision. entrusted courts for adoption. - Clearly and strictly condition those exceptional situations, not imputable (with evidence) in which the natural parents no longer agree with the adoption and request the review against a court decision to open the adoption procedure - Simplify post-adoption monitoring. For example, post-adoption monitoring is not performed in the case of internal adoption of the child by the spouse of the natural or adoptive parent or by the child's relatives, nor in the case of adoption of the child by his guardian or by persons / families who had the child at least 2 years. - The obligation for the director of DGASPC to control, on a quarterly basis, the way in which each case manager carries out his activity for the benefit of the children he cares for is introduced. - The internal adoption of children who are difficult to adopt is stimulated by providing financial incentives (which are granted after the adoption sentence and until the adoption of the adopted child or up to the age of 26 if they continue their studies); I reproduce below the text of the law: “(1) The adopter or the adoptive family benefits, from a support allowance, related to the reference social indicator, in the amount of 1.20 SRI, for each child who, at the date of finality of the approval court decision of adoption, is in one of the following situations: a) is between 3 and 6 years old; b) is classified as having a mild or medium disability; c) is part of a group of 2 brothers who can be adopted together.(2) The amount of the indemnity is increased by 50% in case the child is in one of the following situations at the date of the final decision of the court approving the adoption: a) he / she is 7 years old; b) is classified as severely or severely disabled, infected with HIV or AIDS; c) is part of a group of at least 3 brothers adoptable together. (3) If the adopted child meets two of the conditions provided in paragraph (1) or (2), the amount of the support allowance shall be increased by 75%. (4) In the situation where the adopted child meets cumulatively all the conditions provided in paragraph (1) or those provided in paragraph. (2), the amount of the support allowance shall be increased by 100%. " - Fixed annual sums of money are provided to support the medical recovery expenses necessary for the adopted child - Parents are also helped to adopt children from a geographical area other than the one where they reside, by settling expenses of the adoptive parents with the practical matching visit. Currently, about 50,000 children live in the child protection system, according to official data released by the Authority for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Children and Adoptions. In 2017, just over 3,000 people had the necessary certificate for adoption and just over 1,000 people adopted children. The law voted today (PLX 736/2018) is meant to contribute, through its application, to the significant increase of domestic adoption, after it will be promulgated by the President of Romania.

Parlamentul României a adoptat azi, 3 noiembrie 2020, cu unanimitate de voturi (270 voturi pentru) îmbun?t??iri fundamentale la legea 273/2004 privind procedura adop?iei, modific?ri îndelung dezb?tute dar ?i a?teptate de cei circa 50 000 de copii din sistemul de protec?ie a copilului dar ?i de viitori p?rin?i adoptivi. ”M?rturisesc c? solicit?rile disperate pe care le-am primit de la p?rin?i în c?utarea copilului pe care s? îl iubeasc? ?i s? îl ocroteasc? sunt cele care m-au motivat s? m? implic în ultimii doi ani, doi ani lungi, în dezbaterea ?i completarea legii adop?iei. Pornind de la un proiect foarte bun, ini?iat de Guvernul PSD în septembrie 2018, am dezb?tut legea cu societatea civil? atât la Bra?ov, în 2 noiembrie 2018 dar ?i la Bucure?ti, în iunie 2019. Apoi, am lucrat, al?turi de Oana Bîzgan, de al?i colegi parlamentari, la o serie de amendamente pe care le-am sus?inut ?i care se reg?sesc în legea votat? azi. Ne dorim ca legea votat? azi s? însemne o ?edere mult mai scurt? a copiilor în sistemul de protec?ie a copilului ?i o integrare mult mai rapid? a acestora în familie, acolo unde trebuie s? traiasc? ?i s? creasc?.” – a declarat deputatul PSD, Roxana Mînzatu.

De exemplu, monitorizarea postadop?ie nu se realizeaz? în cazul adop?iei interne a copilului de c?tre so?ul p?rintelui firesc sau adoptiv ori de c?tre rudele copilului ?i nici în cazul adop?iei copilului de c?tre tutorele s?u ori de c?tre persoane/familii care au avut copilul în plasament cel pu?in 2 ani. - Se introducere obliga?ia ca directorul DGASPC s? controleze, trimestrial, modul în care fiecare manager de caz î?i desf??oar? activitatea în beneficiul copiilor de care se ocup?. - Se stimuleaz? adop?ia intern? a copiilor greu adoptabili prin acordarea de stimulente financiare (care se acord? dup? sentin?a de adop?ie ?i pân? la majoratul copilului adoptat sau pân? la 26 ani dac? î?i continu? studiile); redau mai jos textul legii: ”(1) Adoptatorul sau familia adoptatoare beneficiaz?, de indemniza?ie de sprijin, raportat? la indicatorul social de referin??, în cuantum de 1,20 ISR, pentru fiecare copil care, la data r?mânerii definitive a hot?rârii judec?tore?ti de încuviin?are a adop?iei, se afl? în una din urm?toarele situa?ii: a) are vârsta cuprins? între 3 ?i 6 ani; b) este încadrat în grad de handicap u?or sau mediu; c) face parte dintr-un grup de 2 fra?i adoptabili împreun?.
