This ABC News feature was broacast in October of 1990. Janis Tomlin was the producer. “Child abuse happens in every country in the world. It doesn’t mean that because this abuse occured in Romania that Romania is a bad country or Romanian citizens are bad people. Much progress to help children has occured in Romania since this broadcast.” John Upton. “This is the report that propelled John Upton in action.” Hugh Downs. ” This is the 20/20 report that spurred John Upton to save over 5000 Romanian Orphans.” Jessica Lange
They were not taught how to eat by themselves but they were taught how to sings Ole Ole Causescau? Well if there’s karmic justice Causescau comes back as a mop that cleans up all these children’s excrements!

the conditions these children are living in are disgusting and filthy, i cant believe that the government can let this happen, its just horrible….horrible. i hope one day that i can help this in some way when im older and adopt one

“each woman would give birth to at least 5 children”, abortion and contraception prohibited. Ceausescu also refused to invest in vitamins, treatment, education for the children instead were given blood transfusions to children who had blood nutritional deficiency. artificial blood the same needles, the AIDS virus was a secret Romania was supposed to be perfect.
It’s all about the money.
You got them or you don’t.
It’s insane!
Look up resource based society.
Learn somthing now…Its time to change.
even working mothers and fathers did not want to raise retarded child because the perception of mental illness here was different from other countries. it was shameful to have an abnormal child. such children need special care and families could not provide it. adoption of such child was improbable , too , because of obvious reasons.
we have here a massive gypsy minority and they give birth to as many kids as they can. a lot of institutionalized children are from gypsy parents.
abortion was prohibited 20 years ago ( im not saying that was good or bad). as a result many families were not able to raise their kids. people knew no contraception and many retarded children were born , from low iq parents. its happening today , too. so , “the parents” kept on breeding and thats too much for the budget.
i believe this is an old video. things are very different now , many orphans are placed into families where the mothers have a license of “maternal assistant”. others live in houses built for a small number of kids cared by maternal assistants , too.
the only sad places left ( but in much better conditions) are probably orphanages for disabled children (mentally ill). their condition makes them unwanted by their families .
ps: i guess the kids showed by the video were mentally ill , too.
this is not even sad this is terror
You have absolutely no idea what happened there. People were forced to breed by the communist government, making so much more babies than they could feed. That is why the orphanages were so full. Or do you think any parent would choose to put a child in these conditions?
Effin nasty barstardz… how tha hell culd tha goverment let po0r innocent kidz live like that fuckin ignorent cuntz… man that makez me mad
u need to pay them more money…this is romania…a big mafia..they dont care about kids even today ,……if u go in bucharest u will see kids living underground
The orphanage is now closed. It was in the town of Sighetu Marmatiei…
give me the adress please to this orphange please.
Stop Breeding!!!!! Put the dick down!!!!!
Oh My Almighty GOD.please have mercy on this children,,why are they doing this to the poor children….i cant speak any words to say after watching this video..please i would like to call on the rich nation to help this children to improve thier lives to be meaningfull..they are the little angels of Romania….i cant stop my tears flowing on my eyes..MY GOD,MY GOD..have mercy on this poor children..
…this is sad, but what’s even more depressing is that the society fears these children, stereotyping that these kids are thieves, liars and vandals. Their parents didn’t want them, and neither the society. This is probably more depressing for these children knowing that noone wants them, and its not even their fault. They didn’t even had a shot in this life and they failed by simply being born…
This is truly sad! Breaks my heart. I would so adopt a child from a any country if they didn’t make it impossible and so expensive.
i know mine has changed, though i do wonder how much of the money is actually goin to th orphanage not the goverment
It is sad that they closed adoptions again…
what do you mean that is pitty???
