Every child needs a complete family. But, unfortunately, in our time there are a lot of divorces, as a result of which innocent children suffer. They are forced to grow up without one or both parents. There are those who are raised by grandparents. Often this happens because of poverty. Many single mothers go to work in order to somehow make ends meet.
Realities of life
There are other situations that are more complicated and hopeless at first glance. We are talking about cases when children become orphans. Of course, society is trying to help them. Some couples take care of and take care of them.
There are also various social institutions, one of the goals of which is to educate worthy members of society. Despite the difficult childhood, many graduates of Saratov’s orphanages have achieved success in various areas of life.
Opinions of people
Very often you can hear that the baby must grow up in the family. Nobody argues with this. In an ideal world, that would be so. However, today's life is far from perfect. Therefore, children's homes in Saratov are simply necessary. Unfortunately, there are people who oppose such institutions; they even equate them to prison.
But what is the reality? Let's think about statistics for a minute. Almost half of the adopted children are returned back to the guardianship of the state. And what to do? Hurry to look for a new family?
Even for an adult, relocation is stressful. But what is it like for a child when other people's uncles and aunts decide for him where he will live and for how long? Many say that children in orphanages become detached, uninitiated, and gloomy. These people overlook the fact that such institutions are not the cause of troubles and suffering, but only try to minimize their consequences. A child who is doing well will simply not get there.
View from the outside
Photos of Saratov’s orphanages eloquently testify in their favor. Unfortunately, the situation is tragic for orphans: they are being transferred from one institution to another, ostensibly in order to improve living conditions. Sometimes it turns out in the end. The level and quality of accommodation is increasing. But at what cost?
Today, only one orphanage has remained in Saratov, rumor has it that they want to close it, and distribute children to other similar institutions in the region. Would such a decision bring any benefits? Perhaps yes, but only in the distant future, when children adapt to new places of residence and rules of behavior in them.
What awaits them in a new place? A new team, unfamiliar educators and a sense of hopelessness. After all, it is quite possible that this is not their last refuge. And, of course, it will be difficult for such children to subsequently let someone into their hearts. They will remember for a long time that nothing depends on them. At any time, they can be torn out of the usual environment and transferred to a new place.
Then they will shoot another video about how hard the children lived in the orphanage. Although in reality the employees of such institutions do everything in their power to take care of each child.
Before closing children's homes, you need to think about the fact that even the brightest ideas can have a dark side.
