BOGDAN PANAIT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS INCABABLE OF RESOLVING THE ORPHAN PROBLEM
By: A.D.

"There is no institution, no matter how large or how much money it has, that is able to resolve the problems with the children if the whole of society is not available to help," declared Bogdan Panait, director of the National Authority for the Protection of the Rights of the Child. His declaration was made after warnings given by the international organization "Freedom House", in their campaign "Unseen Children". This foundation sounded a powerful alarm concerning the fact that Romania is confronted with huge problems with regard to the situation of institutionalized children, street children, and those who come from poor families. This is true even though they have signed the declaration on the rights of the child. This organization also believes that children who come from families who are better off also violate the rights of the children because many of these children are abused by their parents. Dispite these problems, Panait thinks that his organization is the best prepared institution for entry into the EU.
