They Ask Protection for Over a 1000 Children

This article came to my sight today in one of the national newspapers (I am adding a link on the title so you can track it, though it is written in spanish), I translated it so here it goes:

The CNA requested the Children and Adolescents Courts protection for over 200 children whose adoption files were not presented during the verification process done by PGN. In the past few days 832 similar requirements were made.

Elizabeth de Larios, CNA's president, commented the institution's worry for the safety of these children, so they came to several courts.

There is total of 1032 children that were not presented to the authorities by the attorneys in charge of their cases in 2008, when it was required the presence of the child and the birth mother to prove their familiarity and the mother's desire to give her child for adoption.

The CNA is still evaluating another 122 cases before requiring the placing of the minors. Among other things they have to verify if there is any duplicity in these files registers.

The judges recieved the addresses contributed by the attorneys to locate the children, who might be in danger.

A co-chairwoman from PGN, Florencia de León, informed that her unit's registers say they identified 43 children that were not presented for the verification process, for 27 of these cases they opened a judicial file.

She assured that those minors are located in particular homes or with foster mothers.

She also exposed that they are a process to purify their information to stablish why there is so many difference among CNA's cases.

Yesterday, about 30 adoption cases were filed to PGN to be evaluated in order to their approval, they all correspond to previous requests from 2008.

Nidia Aguilar, from Child Defense, hopes this year adoptions will be fast forward, so the number of completed adoptions increases.

I just think it is awful for these people to continue to manipulate children this way! How can they just keep doing this as if they didn't notice all of these terrible things happening, do they think that just because they are so young it doesn't affect them?? And how come they don't even know were children are located???? in the rest of cases I am almost a 100% sure that they HARDLY EVER check the orphanages.

I also found this other Registers:

In PGN there are still authorizing cases under the old adoption law.

3,033 Children were registered in CNA in 2008.

1,403 adoption files were verified by CNA and PGN.

598 cases were approved before their verification.

1,032 children and birth mothers were not presented by the attorneys in charge of their cases.

932 files are still waiting for the attorneys to fulfill all the requirements from the old adoption law.

30 adoption cases were filed to PGN yesterday, to be checked, evaluated and authorized.

1,846 children have been institutionalized currently and are in need of protection.

1,259 adoptions were authorized by PGN between May 8th 08 and Jan. 27th 09.
