Abandoned children at the airport, defrauding adoptive parents: the Belgian government was aware of abuses surrounding adoptions from South Korea in the 1970s, according to archive documents. Yet nothing was done.

Scott Lieberman, an American who lives in San Francisco, always knew that he was adopted from Chile. What he did not know was that he had been stolen as an infant.

“I lived 42 years of my life without knowing that I was stolen, not knowing what was happening down in Chile during the 70s and 80s and I just, I want people to know… There are families out there that can still be reunited,” Lieberman said.

During the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-90), many babies were funneled to adoption agencies. Some of the children came from rich families, taken or given up to protect reputations. Other babies from poorer backgrounds were simply stolen – as it appears was the case with Lieberman.

In the last decade, CNN has documented multiple cases of Chilean babies who were stolen at birth. Authorities in the country say priests, nuns, doctors, nurses and others conspired to carry out illegal adoptions, with the main motive being profit.

A magistrate considered certain of the facts alleged against the association Le Rayon de soleil de l'enfant alien to be time-barred, but she agreed to investigate the offense of concealment of fraud.

A Parisian investigating judge has been investigating since mid-April the complaint of seven French people denouncing their adoption in Mali, organized according to them fraudulently by an authorized association, Agence France-presse (AFP) learned on Friday May 26 from a close source. folder. This complaint with the constitution of a civil party, after a first simple complaint filed by the Paris prosecutor's office, targets the association Le Rayon de soleil de l'enfant alien (RSEE), and a former local manager, Danielle Boudault, for acts, revealed by Le Monde , which allegedly occurred between 1989 and 1996, which concern children born in Mali between 1984 and 1993.

The complainants accuse the association and its former manager of having “duped the Malian biological parents (…) and the French adoptive parents” . After long procedural disputes, a Parisian magistrate ruled on April 17 that part of the alleged facts were time-barred, but she agreed to investigate the offense of concealment of fraud.

The Salvation Army is increasingly doing more in the field of sustainability. Buildings are becoming greener , waste is better processed and with special tools we try to better manage and reduce our energy consumption .

"I now work in relief work at the Salvation Army, but in 1985 I studied the Environment in Wageningen. So in addition to relief work, I think the environment is important anyway. I haven't eaten meat since I was seventeen and, for example, travel by train as much as possible In addition, I buy my clothing second-hand and if I buy something new, I ensure that it is made sustainably.

Making sustainable choices is sometimes expensive or inconvenient. For example, the train is more expensive than the plane and sustainable cleaning products are also more expensive than non-sustainable products. But can it also cost us something? You have to leave other things behind.

What you need to see clearly is the difference between being sustainable and looking after the little ones. You now see that many organizations and companies are taking a step towards a sustainable future, but this is driven by financial incentives. The financial incentive helps, but it is better to take a step back and see what really helps."

A 5-year-old boy whose skull was fractured when his mother's live-in boyfriend struck him with a mop handle, breaking it in half, has been beaten, neglected, and tortured repeatedly, the Volusia Sheriff's Office revealed on Saturday.

Investigators discovered video surveillance from inside the DeLand-area home revealing the child once had his hands tied behind his back for more than 19 hours. Doctors examining him found, in addition to the skull fracture, 46 visible injuries as well as internal injuries, Volusia Sheriff's spokesman Andrew Gant said in a news release.

There were three children in the home, including an 8-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.

"The torture these kids endured is hard to imagine. The good news is they're in safe hands now, and their scumbag abusers will have to answer for what they did," Sheriff Mike Chitwood wrote in a Facebook post Saturday.

At least 19 children and young adults were abused in several ways in an SOS Kinderdorpen in Suriname fore more than 30 years. In a report, the research firm Verinorm speaks of sexual, emotional, physical, and financial abuse. This includes rape, neglect, beating, and whipping.

The study was commissioned by SOS Kinderdorpen following reports of violence and sexual abuse in Children's Villages in 2021. For the study, Verinorm analyzed documents and conducted 35 interviews, including with victims and former staff. It emerged that the abuse took place from the founding of the Children's Village in 1972 until its closure in 2006.

Among others, five managers, almost half of the responsible managers, were allegedly guilty of abuse. According to the report, this "creates the impression that the abuse by managers was structural in nature”. One of the managers was sentenced by the court to 3,5 years in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.

At the SOS Children's Village, investigators said, there was "too little supervision, monitoring and enforcement," and indications of abuse were "not taken seriously enough" by the humanitarian organization.

Courtney Deacon Lalotra of Brick took a trip to India more than a decade ago when she was 23 years old. It was supposed to last a month. Instead she moved there to help orphaned children.

The group she founded, One Life to Love, is a home for abandoned and orphaned kids with special needs.

She is back home, but not for long. Deacon Lalotra will host a fundraiser in New Jersey Thursday.

“This event could not come at a better time. The impact of One Life to Love’s work is far-reaching, as these rescued children become future leaders of their communities and countries,” she said. “With your help, together we can make a difference and create a brighter future for all.”

NJ Advance Media first met Deacon Lalotra of Brick in 2019 when Gov. Phil Murphy made a trade mission to the country.
