Adoptieorganisatie Wereldkinderen moet reorganiseren. De organisatie kampt al jaren met een dalend aantal adopties, minder donateurs en teruglopende ledenaantallen.

Volgens directeur Marc Tijhuis is een reorganisatie onvermijdelijk. Het aantal voltijdbanen moet van 22 naar 12 worden teruggebracht. Dat komt volgens Tijhuis ook door foute keuzes die in het verleden zijn gemaakt.

Supporting deinstitutionalisation: focus on autism

24.01.13

Autism should never be the cause of children being separated from their families. Yet, depressingly, in many Eastern European countries, children diagnosed with autism are separated from their families and placed in institutions because there are no services to support them in their communities. Many children with undiagnosed autism are also placed in institutions because they display challenging behavior. Increasing awareness and developing support for children with autism is therefore critical to ensuring they are not removed from their families and communities. It is also vital to develop community services so children with autism who have been placed in institutions can return home.

As part of our work in Bulgaria, Lumos is supporting professionals working on the State Agency for Child Protection’s ‘Childhood for All’ project, which is overseeing the closure of all institutions for children with disabilities in Bulgaria and securing appropriate placements for the children. The needs of children with autism within this process are specific and is it vital that professionals understand how best to support them. As part of our work on this issue, we recently organized for Dr Iain McClure, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at The Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh, to deliver a seminar to professionals involved in preparing children from institutions to move back into the community. Dr McClure’s seminar focused on the particular needs of children with autism in the context of the closure of institutions for children with disabilities.

A Lumos spokesperson in Bulgaria said: “The process of moving the children is extremely complicated. These children have spent their entire life in one room in the institution; what lies ahead of them is going to be a tremendous challenge. The preparation of a child with a disorder from the autistic spectrum is specific and will differ from the preparation of a child with sensory impairment or cerebral paralyses. Our responsibility is to be ready to handle this process in the most gentle to the child way”.

BULGARIA, ORC BURROW AIBI DISPROVES, the express CONFIRMATION Confirm what is written in the article. Since I was no immediately report to the Commission on intercountry adoptions by Aibi, I asked Marco Griffini President when he presented. His response was: "I don't recall the date." Odd Amnesia if, as now Aibi, the alert was made on 3 January: because the phone call between the express and was only Griffini four days later. It must be said that parents of children who have suffered violence at staff have written the Chairman of Aibi four email: 12 October, 16 November, 12 December, 30 December. Already the October 12 the report "gruesome details" and "aberrant" Bulgarian Institute of dynamics. But from that stated by parents and confirmed by President of Aibi, Gawali has never responded.(F.G.)

The PRESIDENT of AIBI, MARCO GRIFFINI, WROTE: in the investigation by Fabrizio Gatti "In ORC lair" ("L'Espresso" No. 2) refers to some facts related to the adoption of three minors in Bulgaria at an Institute through AI.bi. Associazione Amici dei Bambini, notified body pursuant to the applicable law.

In the article referring to some "facts" that occurred in the Bulgarian school in which children were adopted. Refers in particular to sexual behaviour among minors and sexual violence by the paedophiles adults. Of these facts, according to the article, AI.bi. would have been aware.

This message is misleading and seriously harmful to AI.bi. as unfounded.

NEW DELHI: More than a decade after Parliament enacted the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, the Supreme Court on Thursday cracked the whip for its implementation, making it mandatory for states to provide a plain-clothed special juvenile police officer (SJPO) in every police station.

In addition, the states have to create a Special Juvenile Police Unit (SJPU), comprising personnel specially trained and oriented for child causes (read offences) in every district and each missing child report must be converted into FIRs, the court ordered.

Though the court had ordered implementation of the law enacted in 2000 by Parliament, very few states have responded to a PIL by Bachpan Bachao Andolan, which alleged that very little was done to trace nearly 55,000 children who go missing every year. Senior advocate H S Phoolka complained that there was lack of scientific investigation to trace the children and that the law for juveniles had not been implemented.

The Supreme Court on Thursday made it mandatory for police stations across the country to compulsorily register missing complaints of any minor and appoint a special police officer to handle complaints of juveniles. Such police personnel should be stationed at every police station in plain clothes.

At a time when there has been a spurt in reports of trafficking of minor children and their abuse, a bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices J Chelameswar and Vikramjit Sen was livid with the casual approach of six states, which did not even bother to depute a lawyer to represent them during the hearing.

Adoption and Pedophilia, a Chilling Affair

Raped in the orphanage. Photographed and filmed. The shocking tale of three Bulgarian children adopted in Italy. And their parents’ accusations were ignored.

The lights in the windows of the orphanage tonight go out later than usual. The half-moon illuminates the clean air which is fifteen degrees below zero and shines on the shapes of the hungry foxes who come in looking for something to bite. This is the worst time. The time at which the barking of stray dogs resonates. And one in which "D" enters in the rooms of younger children. It happens almost every night in this remote snowy countryside institution in Bulgaria. And if it is not him, there is always someone his age who wants to have sex at this time. They are only twelve or thirteen years old. No older. The victims, are younger. Three, five or 7 years old. At most ten. Nor is it the fault of "D". He simply repeats what older guests had done to him. And not only the guests. The violence often would be done by some employees of the institution. At least seven men and four women.

They make the children prostitute in a nightclub. Taking photographs. Sometimes the sexual attacks are filmed. Perhaps they resell the film. Here, on the edge of the European Union, between the barking of the foxes who move around you, it is a secret guarded for years. And, it would still be a secret if the last three children who just got adopted in Italy had not had the courage to break the silence. Right now they are free, they want to save others kids, almost sixty, who still live in that orphanage. And, above all, to save themselves from a far too cruel childhood. It's a chilling account. Seven pages which were sent a few weeks ago to the President of the Commission for international adoptions, Minister Andrea Riccardi.

Once it was exposed, adoptive parents have complained about the lack of any action to stop the abuses, by the group that mediated the adoption, the Aibi [Amici dei Bambini]. One of the major legally recognized groups that brought 249 children to Italy in 2011, declared an income of 8 million to 761 thousand euros and a capital of nearly 4 million.
