33 children were rescued from the home; officials had received complaints of children going missing

A children’s home run by New Hope and New Life Trust was sealed at Ranganathapuram in Medavakkam on Saturday following complaints of children going missing. The administrators of the facility were also accused of not adhering to basic rules of running a home.

The officials rescued 33 children, including 19 girls, from the home, based on a petition to the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). The children were transferred to a nearby government-approved home.

District social welfare officer G. Sarguna told The Hindu, that the trust members had been given prior notice to set right poor living conditions and given enough time to do that.

“Moreover, there were complaints of ‘missing children’ from the home, for which we sought a report from the founder of the trust. Despite being given enough time, he failed to produce the children before the Child Welfare Committee. Based on the reports of Child Welfare Committee and reports of violations filed by social welfare department, the district collector on Friday issued orders to close the home,” she said.

International adoptions have plummeted from 23,000 in 2004 to 8,668 in 2012

Italian adoption agency paid Slovak officials

25 Jun 2013Flash News

The Italian regional agency for interstate adoptions, A.R.A.I., financed educational projects in Slovakia for employees of orphanages, social officials and judges, with members of working groups that prepared the projects receiving some money as well, the Sme daily reported on June 22.

Since 2004, the agency spent almost €190,000 on five projects on which it cooperated with Slovakia’s National Centre for Human Rights, the Association of Towns and Villages of Slovakia (ZMOS) as well as Saint Elizabeth’s College of Health Care and Social Work in Bratislava, according to the documents received by Sme. The daily states some of the names featured on the invoices are recurring, including coordinator Peter Gurá?, who worked in the centre; the former and current section head at the Labour Ministry, Nadežda Šebová; and the head of the Centre for International Legal Protection of Children, Alena Mátejová. According to Sme, they received bonuses for the preparation of seminars, lectures and for their membership in the steering committee.

The A.R.A.I. does not agree that the high number of children adopted in Italy is associated in any way with projects that the Italian side financed here. Based on the centre’s agreement with Italy, out of 433 children adopted abroad within the last ten years, over 50 percent were adopted in Italy. She explains that this is because Italian couples are willing to adopt Roma children, siblings, children over seven years of age and children with health problems.
