After the fall of communism in the 1990s, the world saw horrific images of abused children living in deplorable conditions in state-run Romanian orphanages. Those images and stories led to an international uproar and an outpouring of humanitarian aid to the country. After the initial furor died down, most people assumed the situation had gotten better. ABC News, however, had an exclusive look at a report, which was released today by Mental Disability Rights International, that details the horrible abuse of handicapped children in Romanian institutions.
ABC News
I can't explain the horrors of images that ABC News captured inside Romania's orphanages. Take a look for yourself. I would like to warn that many of the images you will see is disturbing.
