    Offering compassion and love to other humans, especially children, doesn’t cost anything…how those people, mostly women, working in those orphanages, could treat those children so badly…is incomprehensible.

    Yes, is truth! And in hospital, kids didn't have too many chances . They let me to die, they declared me died, they put me in mortuary chamber…between dead people…
    But I was lucky…. my mom found me there in time…

    My heart aches so much. I’m married to one of those romanian orphanages survivor. Sometimes I need to bring these images of orphanage to mind to have patience and compassion for him when he gets bitter, angry.

    Badly institutionalized people should not be adopted from the age of 5+.but as babies when their brains are still maturing and are easier to adapt..5years and older they will react and become defiant bc like this young man said find it hard to fully adapt…Very sad

    😢My mother worked in olferinat in Piteşti, Argeşi but I must admit it was excellent conditions; very grate conditions with grate food, warmth, educational program, good health condition e.t.c.
    The children were taken in holidays regularly, particularly in the Summer, then Autumn. They were better off money wisely than a child living with their biological parents!

    My brother thought it was something to laugh at remembering that I rocked as a child.. He poked fun and laughed at me remembering me rocking … all my older brothers were so self involved.. they were intitled but I was not. . close minded bullies but his cruel mind is to this very day the most evil of all my brothers – he was 1 of 8 brothers older than me.. institution no LIES d I was.. the complete lack of compassion along with the abuse and never safe … never protected.. the skills you figure to save your own life your mother's life your dogs life would blow majority of the trauma stories I read away. sorry but my story would make most people sick.. and no one no adult no member of my huge family no friends no teacher stopped it. NEGLECT is not OK not on … I went into crisis care work and took on the jobs NO ONE wanted for kids JUST LIKE ME.. My 8 brothers still to this day truly believe they did no harm to me. My father I will always love him.. but I never will trust him. The story remains untold. I have no family. I raised myself. The users and abusers of this world are what makes life hell. I send all my love to you children.. my dream as a child was to grow up fast and save as many children in crisis as I could.. I chose not to have children bc I believe to be a mother.. I did not have to bring more into the world.. but notice the ones that were already HERE!!! thank you for your video … I wish I had the house to home the kids I know other people do not could never understand//// if I could afford it … that would be the job I would do for the rest of my life. Kids all deserve to feel SAFE WARM LOVED!!! not just that one or that one

    I am old now but am moved to tears by the condition of these children who are experiencing hardship, and deprivation at a young age. I'll let you all know, I don't want to see children suffering or being tortured. Before I go to sleep, I pray to God hoping that no children are troubled or suffering during my prayer time.

    Lord please 🙏 anyone help these innocent children dear God. Look at them they are children, just as we all were. Why isn’t the world trying to help? Africa has been the focus to give money to the starving and poor but instead where did it go, to corrupt greedy government! Why is nobody helping these children? We got all this money going to footballers, just 1 famous footballer could pay for a newly built orphanage with toys, beds, cots all the things needed for any child to be happy and feel loved by the staff. If I worked there I would be able to leave, I’d have to cuddle each child and…I can’t even speak because it’s just evil.
    All you rich famous people around the world you could do something to help, make your luck count for something good instead of over indulging.

    I don't know why anyone is shocked by this. It's happens by varying degrees in every single culture that degrades the meaning of life. 1st world, 3rd world, doesn't matter. Abandonment in an orphanage or abortion or anything in the middle. Humanity, at its core, is evil without a fundamental belief in God.

    What created the huge #s of unwanted children in Romania was when their president declared that both birth control and abortions were outlawed. Romania is Catholic.

    Some women found a way to keep their healthy offspring, or found a family member who would take the child in.

    With sickly, or developmentally delayed children though, they were left at an orphanage such as those we've seen on t.v.

    The idea that if a girl or woman doesn't want her baby that she can put it up for adoption and it will be easy to find loving homes for the baby often doesn't work for dark skinned babies, or for ill or disabled ones.

    I can't believe the USA is going the way of impoverished, backward countries like Romania. Having young people understand their bodies and sexuality is so important. And we must fight to keep our reproductive rights out of Republican's hands.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

US launches more strikes on Iran and resumes naval blockade of ports | BBC News

Published

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
