Bulgarian Prosecutors Look into Deaths of 238 Children in Care. September 23, 2010

I thought this madness in Bulgaria is over.. But obviously it's not..

Prosecutors inconclusively investigated homes for disabled children after a 2007 BBC documentary revealed appalling suffering in one of them – in the village of Mogilino – eventually forcing its closure.

But dozens of similar houses of pain remain, Ms Tavanier said.

Here is the whole article http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=120412

The government now plans to shut by 2013 all 27 remaining institutions for children with serious disabilities. Most of these facilities are situated in poor remote villages. Almost 98 percent of abandoned children in Bulgaria still have parents somewhere and social workers are seeking to encourage them to take their children back or place them in foster care. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g1oa_rCuxc7DwuXNWb05u9eY-X0g

The public campaign of BHC aims to bring to justice the persons and institutions guilty of the crimes committed in the Bulgarian homes for children with mental disabilities.
