On the 111th night of anti-government protests today, mothers from the civic initiative “The system is killing us” are organizing a torchlight procession in memory of the “children who are victims of the the social services’ policy for taking them out of specialized homes”.
The mothers say that the brutal truth about this policy shows that children with disabilities are being thrown into “houses of horror”. Nobody cares about them, the mothers say and call for retribution, BGNES reports.
