The fourth is not superfluous: Russian women have launched a flash mob against the idea of the authorities to limit the number of children in foster homes
Russian women amicably rebelled against the idea of officials from the Ministry of Education tighten the rules of adoption in the country. In particular, women were outraged by the offer Do not give foster children to families where there are already three children..
Hashtag #first_non_slide is gaining momentum in social networks.
They adoptive mothers from all over the country accompany pictures of their families, painting intentionally the faces of those children who are adoptive in protest.
They also write about what could have happened to their foster children if they were now staying in orphanages and boarding schools.
One of the mothers of the Moscow region said that her adolescent teenage daughter had nearly been sexually abused several times in a boarding school, and the girl was almost placed in a mental hospital. Now my daughter is in school only at "4" and "5" and is preparing next year to enroll in a medical college.
A foster mother from Magadan said that her five adopted children were born from biological alcohol parents and criminals. She took the guys from the orphanage with the appropriate ways and inclinations. Now all five lead a normal life, and if they remained in an orphanage then, they could already sleep now and become juvenile violators of the law.
Mom from Podolsk took a family of five adoptive children, and everyone has features of development. Now her children are learning, and as far as possible, they are seeking a profession.
With certificates of mental and mental retardation, they would not have such a chance, the woman said. They would forever remain among the mentally ill and disabled in one of the specialized boarding schools.
Foster mothers claim that Russia's Minister of Education, Olga Vasilyeva, has no personal interest in making thousands of children miserable, but she has a clear understanding that "budget funds should be spent where necessary."
The draft law on tightening the terms of adoption is ready. In particular, he prescribes ban for those who have three children to take care of orphans and children without parental care. The document was signed on August 14th. Now it has been submitted to the State Duma for consideration.
Despite the fact that the law has not yet been adopted, Vasilyeva promised to “severely restrict” her adoptive parents, to introduce for them psychiatric testing and detailed medical examination.
With testing and inspection, adoptive mothers who have raised a wave of indignation, in general, agree. But the limit on the number of children, in their opinion, is inappropriate. Besides, it is not clear What will happen to the already existing large foster families - will it be possible to forcibly withdraw from them a part of the children who are not included in the statistical norms provided for by the draft law?
Flashmob has already combined hundreds of stories, families, and calls for common sense. The number of participants and just sympathizers is growing every day.
