Detention Centres.
Tolya was arrested for stealing in Moscow. It was soon discovered that he had
travelled hundreds of miles to escape a brutal father. He started to learn
new skills at the detention centre and is returning to live with his grandmother
in Vladivostok.
Tanya had been ‘sold’ by her father for a bottle of vodka and used
as prostitute since the age of eight. In desperation after several years of trying
to escape she committed other crimes in order to be arrested. She will need psychological
help but with care it is hoped she will be able to return to normal life again.
Facts: Over the years Love Russia has
been able to help in many ways including providing psychologists for traumatised
children, practical help in the form of clothing, beds, recreational items and
also computers and photocopiers to help speed up the process of moving the children
into orphanages or back home.
One of the largest expenditures for the officers is the cost of travelling with
children to repatriate them. Love Russia sees this of primary importance for
the welfare of the children. |
