I haven't slept for several days now. But not because of June's short nights. Because I learned some details of a terrible story that falls under the definition of the genocide of the Russian people. Of the 1260 children taken from Russia to Italy, Russian investigators found only five adopted. And where is everyone else?

At one time, Nadezhda Fratti (Shchelgacheva) was accused of fraudulently taking 1,260 Russian children to Italy for adoption. And where is this Fratti now? Fratty like Frankenstein I ask again: where are all the other children? And I'm not the only one asking. Russian law enforcement agencies have repeatedly sent inquiries about the whereabouts of our children to Italy. According to Nikolai Bichekhvost, an employee of the prosecutor's office of the Volgograd region, while the trials of N. Fratti were going on in Russia, an international order was prepared: to check the fate of every child living in Italy. Vasily Goshchuk, deputy head of the investigative department of the Volgograd region, adds:

- We were waiting for documents from Italy, where for each of the Volgograd adopted children, officially confirmed information should be provided that the children are alive. But they never answered us.

Volgograd investigators were not given a business trip to Italy. Moscow investigators went there with an inspection. Who found footprints of five children. Five out of one thousand two hundred and sixty.

Meanwhile, the world, tired of sensational revelations such as the fact that the Roman surgeon Raffaello Cortesini performed hundreds of secret kidney transplants, learned something else about "blessed" Italy. Moreover, from the lips of the Minister of the Interior of Italy itself, Roberto Maroni. The minister revealed the bitter truth not in a newspaper interview, but at UNICEF's annual assembly in Rome:

Allysha was informally adopted from The Philippines when she was born. Now, at 12 years of age, she risks deportation when her student visa expires next month.

Andrew had just ‘adopted’ a baby girl with his wife, Marijun, when he discovered the informal agreement between the couple and the child's biological parents meant she'd be ineligible for Australian citizenship.

“It was only when I went down to the Australian Embassy in Manila, and they had a sandwich board with a checklist, that I saw you had to have a DNA test to get [citizenship],” Andrew told The Feed.

“I thought ‘Okay, that's a bit of a worry. It's not gonna work’. Up until then, I had no idea there would be an issue at all,” he added.

After receiving erroneous legal advice in The Philippines, Andrew and Marijun had organised to have their own names listed on the baby’s birth certificate and apply for a child visa.

Malagasy police officers in charge of the fight against cybercrime have dismantled a network selling young children. A couple, a relative and a doctor were arrested and remanded in custody. They were charged with human trafficking by a person in authority.

This message circulating on Facebook: "For those who want to adopt a child and justify their resources, we have some. You should come see us" , was sent to the police by a whistleblower.

After several days of investigations, specialists in the fight against cybercrime have managed to unmask the authors of this announcement, L'Express de Madagascar tells us .

At the end of last week, the investigators arrested a couple and a doctor. The latter, counts among his acquaintances the mother, of the young woman who sells "her infants". The practitioner would have written the babies' false birth certificates at his request. The seller's mother was also arrested.

In search of accomplices

NEW DELHI: The Centre has amended the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules to allow female and male government servants to avail of child adoption leave and paternity leave respectively, for pre-adoption foster care of a child aged below one year. In either case, the government employee should have less than two surviving children.

Before the latest amendment, Rule 43AA of CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972, entitled male government servants to a 15-day paternity leave within a period of six months from the date of valid adoption. Similarly, Rule 43B provided for a 180-days child adoption leave for female government employees immediately from the date of adoption.

To factor in the need for such leave during pre-adoption foster care as well, the department of personnel and training on May 15 notified the Central Civil Services (Leave) (Amendment) Rules, 2023, wherein the amended Rule 43AA states that paternity leave may be granted not only from the date of actual adoption but for pre-adoption foster care as well. In case the child is not taken as a ward by the government employee, such leave already availed shall be debited from any other kind of leave available to his credit.

Similarly, the amended Rule 43B allows female central government employees with less than two surviving children, to be granted child adoption leave for up to 180 days on accepting the child in pre-adoption foster care or on valid adoption, as the case may be. Such leave will be debited from any other category of leave available to the credit of the woman government employee, if the foster care is not followed by adoption of the child.

Salary equal to the pay drawn prior to proceeding on leave, shall be payable during the 15-day paternity leave in case of male employees and during the 180-day child adoption leave in case of female employees.

Critics say 2009 reform creating a 'second-generation cutoff' unfairly targets adopted children

Canadian adoptive parents of foreign-born children are applauding a push to give their children citizenship rights equal to those of adoptees born on Canadian soil.

A parliamentary committee has introduced amendments which — if passed into law — would change a rule preventing internationally adopted children from automatically transmitting their citizenship by descent if they go on to have children outside of Canada.

Critics say the current law creates an unfair distinction between Canadian-born and international adoptees that risks negatively affecting the latter group of children, who may choose to study or work abroad as adults.

"There's a two-tiered system," said Kat Lanteigne. Her son Nathanael, 7, was born in Zambia.

A large number of adoption files that are still managed by the Child Protection Board (RvdK) should have been transferred to the National Archives (NA) years ago. In accordance with the Archives Act 1995, these files have been designated as permanent storage.

The Government Information and Heritage Inspectorate investigated this and published a report .

The files generally contain the documents that show the process of a mother giving up her child. They are formed as family files, so that the file always contains personal – and sometimes very sensitive – information from and about several people. In any case, information about the child, the biological mother and the adoptive parents and possibly also about other family members such as brothers and sisters.

Partial inspection

The Child Protection Board itself now grants partial inspection of these adoption files on the basis of permission, in particular from the biological mother. In order to prevent an invasion of privacy, the National Archives carefully implements the provision in the Archives Act regarding 'respect for privacy', but does not make parts of the file available for inspection to those involved, but always the entire file. . This working method prevented the RvdK from complying with the transfer obligation.

In 2021, Kjersti Toppe (Sp) was called upon to investigate illegal adoptions to Norway. But the organization that asked for an investigation was not even given a meeting.

It was in October 2021, two weeks after Toppe had taken her seat in the minister's office in the Ministry of Children and Families, that she received a letter from the organization Romanticized immigration .

The four-page letter, which VG has seen, had a simple message: Illegal adoptions have taken place in Norway, probably on a larger scale than was known.

Romanticized immigration therefore asked for an independent investigation of Norwegian adoption practices.

The organization also asked for a meeting with Toppe.

Mohammed Hasan (50) aka ‘Pappu’ from Quarsi area of Aligarh, UP has been sentenced to 20 years jail for raping his adopted minor daughter (10), originally a Hindu.

Hasan took the 3-year-old Hindu girl from a brick kiln around 8 years back. He claims to have ‘adopted’ her, and then changed the minor’s name and religion. Once the girl turned 9, he started sexually abusing her, as per a report in Dainik Jagran. Hasan has 2 sons and 2 daughters of his own.

His daughter-in-law found him raping the child on October 25 last year. A social worker who lived nearby lodged a complaint on October 27. Shockingly, or maybe not in our apathetic colonial secular State, it is alleged that police refused to lodge an FIR for 3 days. They called the minor child to the police station for ‘questioning’ in the absence of a woman constable.

BJYM’s local leaders Dharamvir Singh Lodhi and Saurabh Chaudhary approached the CO (Circle Officer) and got the FIR lodged. Thankfully, the case was then fast-tracked by the UP govt and after 15 hearings, a judgement was delivered within 41 days of the charges being finalized on April 4, by POCSO court judge Surendra Mohan Sahay.

Mohammed Hasan was convicted for the heinous crime and given 20 years imprisonment and fined Rs 50K. The girl is currently living in a shelter home – police has not been able to trace her original parents, and neither is there any documentation of her ‘adoption’.

Oxford University research reveals 17,000 out-of-area placements in England can be attributed to the corporate takeover of care

The corporate takeover of children’s care has led to more children moving between short-term, unstable placements far away from their families, according to research.

The Oxford University study – which drew on more than 600,000 care records – revealed 17,000 out-of-area placements in England can be attributed to the outsourcing of care to for-profit providers between 2011 and 2022.

The research, to be published on Monday, also shows growing private involvement in care provision has disrupted the lives of vulnerable children, with higher rates of outsourcing linked to higher rates of placements breaking down within two years, which is regarded as a benchmark of stability by the government.

“Our analysis shows that for-profit outsourcing is consistently associated with more children being placed out of area and placement instability,” said the study’s co-author Dr Anders Bach-Mortensen from Oxford’s Department for Social Policy and Intervention and Roskilde University. “Over the last decade, we see that these outcomes have deteriorated or stagnated while for-profit outsourcing have increased.”
