Street children in Eastern Europe
Street children or orphans in Eastern Europe face many problems and troubles such as malnutrition, HIV, and lack of resources. Resources are not widely available to help deal with malnutrition so the children do the best they can to stay fed. According to UNICEF reports, the former Soviet states, from Baltic Russia to Tajikistan in Central Asia and parts of the Balkans, remain the only regions of the world where rates of HIV infection continue to rise. Children living on the streets often come from poverty and a normal childhood is replaced by violence and crime. These children live in tunnels, garbage containers and basements. In the winter they take comfort from hot water pipes whose steam provides them with much needed warmth Rising unemployment and the extremes of income inequality are some of the causes of the large number of street children in countries like Russia, Romania and Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of children live in run-down orphanages in Ukraine, Romania, and other eastern European countries. Many of these children are placed in crowded state-run institutions by their parents, motivated by grinding poverty, alcoholism, or other family problems 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://newhopeinternational.org/get_involved/orphan_care/orphanage_outreach/ )〕 Children are often left behind when one or both parents leave to work abroad and as a result, these children often end up in state orphanages According to child welfare groups, the largest number of children left behind are in the poorest countries in the region, including Ukraine, Bulgaria, Moldova and Romania. Psychologists who have been to orphanages in Eastern Europe and have met with children who were abandoned often do not understand why they were abandoned.
== Romania ==
According to the Soros Foundation, Romania has about 350,000 children who are left without parents. There have been reports of children as young as twelve killing themselves after their parents left.〔 Some of these children also suffer from mental illnesses such as depression and often have trouble in school. Additionally, some may turn to crime and drugs to cope with their issues. As many as 2,000 of these children live in tunnels that run under the city. Recently, new laws have been passed in Romania which will place fines up to 2,500 euros for parents who do not leave children with appropriate guardians.〔 The collapse of communism, which negatively impacted the economy has forced children into poverty. As a result, these children resort to begging and stealing to survive.〔 Romania is aiming to end its reputation for neglect of children and is hoping to close large orphanages. As a result, children are returning to violent homes or ending up on the streets. The Romanian government is currently implementing plans that involve good foster care and smaller homes.
