VULNERABILITY AND SOCIAL CONCERN: THE CONDITION OF CHILDREN IN INSTITUTIONS -CASE OF ARAD COUNTY-

Abstract

Without a solid education at home, children in institutions can develop behaviors and trauma, often impossible to mitigate. The absence of an emotional climate specific in a family, abuses of various types that can accompany the trajectory of institutionalization will mark, perhaps forever, the fate of children in institutions. The chances of these children to grow and to form independent life skills to succeed as future adults can often be reduced. Decision makers within state institutions that are meant to care and educate, are summoned to identify and implement measures that may secure the future for these disadvantaged and vulnerable children. Based on these considerations, the study conducted aims to highlight the condition of children in institutions in Arad County, the causes for their abandonment, schooling situation, contact with the family of origin.
