The war in Ukraine is a disaster, especially for children who are already vulnerable because of a disability or because they live in an institution.

The war in Ukraine is a disaster, especially for children who are already vulnerable because of a disability or because they live in an institution. But children are also vulnerable on the run, because they sometimes lose their parent or caregiver in the chaos.

Pim Kraan, director of Save the Children: “In the centers for the first reception of refugees at the border with Romania, our staff has already seen several children who traveled alone. It is important that they are reunited with family as soon as possible. Sometimes children temporarily lose their family for a while.”

Save the Children is committed to reuniting children with their families. The organization does this both in Ukraine and in the border countries. There are an estimated 100,000 children in Ukraine, which is 1.3 percent of all children who live in institutions without parents. This makes Ukraine one of the highest percentages of children in institutional care in Europe. Since the start of the war, 1.8 million children have fled and 2.5 million are internally displaced.

Most vulnerable

MADURAI: After it was informed that the child welfare committee (CWC) in Virudhunagar hand handed over the custody of the child which was given for adoption illegally to its mother, Madras high court had recently disposed of a petition pertaining to the custody of the child.

The court was hearing a plea moved by A Ambika, a resident of K Puliankadai village in Salem district, seeking custody of her male child as she had given the child for adoption without following procedures as per law, in 2019.

When the couple from Virudhunagar district who had adopted the child attempted to get a birth certificate, they were asked to hand over the child to the CWC members as they had not followed the procedures of adoption as per law.

When the petitioner sought to hand over the custody of the child to her since she was willing to take care of the child, the same was denied by the CWC members. Hence, the petitioner moved HC seeking custody of her child. During the pendency of the petition, a DNA test was performed and it was confirmed that the petitioner was the mother of the child.

Justice Abdul Quddhose observed that it was brought to the notice of this court that the child was handed over to the petitioner in February. Since the prayer sought for in this petition has been achieved, nothing survives for further adjudication, said the judge, while disposing of the petition.

Adoption & Society criticizes the National Board of Appeal's investigation of Colombia, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.

Once again, the National Board of Appeal is delivering a piece of work that leaves adoptees in a gray zone with more unanswered questions than answers.

On 14 March 2022, the National Board of Appeal's conclusions were published on a study of 4 former partner countries: Bangladesh, Colombia, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.

For 3 of the countries, the investigation has now been completed, while the National Board of Appeal continues its investigation of Colombia.

The National Board of Appeal writes in its introduction: “The investigation has not led to specific information that the adoptions to Denmark from the 4 countries in the years in question took place on an illegal basis. However, the National Board of Appeal cannot deny that the adoption agency may have been associated with illegal behavior. ”

Emeritus professor and adoption expert René Hoksbergen has been approached by her biological parents to assist them in a case of youth care Groningen about the possible return of a seven-year-old girl. In his view, the child can return to her parents, who have since been fully rehabilitated, but youth care Groningen, which in the case is mainly guided by the view of Tonny Weterings (1), opposes this. In this interview, Hoksbergen explains how an outdated view of foster care and adoption care, especially in relation to the often underestimated aspect of the identity of the growing child, can hinder the well-being of the child in the long term.

Problems with adopted children

René Hoksbergen: The core of the matter is that both Femmie Juffer and Tonny Weterings are personally involved in their statements. (2) Juffer is an adoptive mother who obtained her doctorate with me. After that she went to Leiden and unfortunately it all went wrong. She worked together with professor van IJzendoorn, who has now been expelled from the university. As an adoptive mother, she has tried to demonstrate when adopting a foreign child how good that is for the child compared to children who remain in a comparative situation in the country of origin. Now the sad thing about her research and that is what I also blamed Frank Verhulst (3) thirty years ago, that she does not emphasize that if those children come here, all kinds of special problems arise and that we have to help adoptees with that. It does, however, provide information about this in certain analyses, for example, that they need help much more often - there is no other way because that just comes from that and a lot of other research - but how you should deal with those problems and what kind of problems they are, she says. nothing left. She does not come up with a specification of the problems and how to tackle them.

Comedian Peter Pannekoek receives massive acclaim on social media after he called the out-of-home placements of children of benefit parents 'state kidnappings' in This was the news . He hit the nail on the head about the more than 1115 children who are still not at home, is the consensus. Both Peter's name and the hashtags #1115children and #stateabductions are trending on Twitter. MP Pieter Omtzigt has meanwhile argued for a hotline and an independent investigation.

“If one child is kidnapped tomorrow, the country will be ablaze. Do we have Amber Alerts, searches in forests'', said Peter on Thursday evening in front of 1.2 million viewers on NPO 1. Now there are 1115 children away from home, they have been 'working on it' for six months, but there is still no answer. single child at home, says Peter about Omtzigt's observation this week.

Six months ago, the cabinet acknowledged that more than 1115 children of parents who were victims of the allowance affair were placed out of their homes between 2015 and 2020 . The children ended up with a foster family or an institution. Prime Minister Mark Rutte called the matter "very serious" and promised to look into it carefully. It is mindblowing that the children have still not been reunited with their parents six months later, said Pannekoek.

,,It is said that there is a team on it, they are working hard on it,'' said the comedian. "Suppose there are fifty people in the inspectorate on this case, who can get one child back a week, can't they?" He does not understand that (until now) there is hardly any fuss about it. ,,I doubt all the time: either we don't realize how bad it is, or we realize it somewhere, but we just don't want to see it, because it's so bad'', says Peter.

WASHINGTON DC — Since the Russian offensive inside Ukraine commenced on February 24, the Ukrainian military has cultivated the image of a plucky little army standing up to the Russian Goliath. To bolster the perception of Ukrainian military mettle, Kiev has churned out a steady stream of sophisticated propaganda aimed at stirring public and official support from Western countries.

The campaign includes language guides, key messages, and hundreds of propaganda posters, some of which contain fascist imagery and even praise Neo-Nazi leaders.

Behind Ukraine’s public relations effort is an army of foreign political strategists, Washington DC lobbyists, and a network of intelligence-linked media outlets.

Ukraine’s propaganda strategy earned it praise from a NATO commander who told the Washington Post, “They are really excellent in stratcom — media, info ops, and also psy-ops.” The Post ultimately conceded that “Western officials say that while they cannot independently verify much of the information that Kyiv puts out about the evolving battlefield situation, including casualty figures for both sides, it nonetheless represents highly effective stratcom.”

Key to the propaganda effort is an international legion of public relations firms working directly with Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wage information warfare.
