government. at ten o'clock, clive myrie will be here with a full round—up of the day's news. first it's time for our world: hidden children of bulgaria. a warning — you may find the following programme distressing from the very start. in 2007, the bbc film bulgaria's abandoned children, exposed tragic levels of neglect in mogilino, an institute for disabled children. the film created an international outcry. as a result, with funding from the eu, the bulgarian government closed many of the country's larger institutes, replacing them with group homes that house up to m people. over a quarter of a billion euros

from the eu has been invested in these reforms. but a shocking report has just been released by the advocacy organisation disability rights international, revealing that, while the new group homes are smaller and clean, some of the children and young people within them are still suffering shocking levels of neglect. i see the conditions here today. they are exactly what i witnessed in mogilino and to some extent they are worse. i have come back to bulgaria to investigate life inside the new system of small group homes in 2019. but first, i am on my way to see two boys, milen and misho, who i first met in 2007. growing up in mogilino social care home, a large institute in a remote village.

milen was abandoned as a baby and has been at mogilino for 14 years. misho is his best friend. it is laundry time and milen seems nervous. i can see that they have both been hit. maria, my interpreter, is not with me so i can't speak directly with the abuser. i tried to communicate without words but i know what is going on.

as a result of our camera witnessing the appalling treatment of both milen and misho, they were moved to a small group home where they have spent the last 13 years. milen. hello! misho!

what is milen saying to you? he's worried that we will take him. to mogilino? i asked the director of the home how milen and misho have been getting on. when he remembers mogilino, what does he remember?

this is the man? i remember that day very well. milen wants to see didi? yeah. milen and misho have been moved to a group home with a loving

director who truly cares for them and who is now their official guardian. this is a glorious home, a success of the new policy where they have had the chance to recover from life at mogilino. but i want to see how young people in other homes are faring. at a recent event at the un general assembly, bulgaria was identified as a model for reform. i have been invited tojoin in the team, disability rights international, for part of their tour around 2a group homes across bulgaria. they are documenting conditions for a report on social care across the country. we visit five group homes together. in the first home in north bulgaria, we filmed covertly in order to capture early images of what we are witnessing. ten young people live

here across two floors and their lives are more or less confined to the boundaries of the home. mitko is 16 years old. he is autistic. there is only one carer on duty, and she is clearly struggling with mitko, who gets aggressive. while small, this child is actually 15 years old. she lives just along the corridorfrom mitko. the children here are unlikely to be able to learn the skills to become independent.

upstairs, two young people are sleeping. a child psychologist in sofia told the dri team that sedation is used in many homes in place of care. later that day, i was able to talk openly with mitko who agreed to be filmed.

mitko, you are living here in this small group home with very young children who are disabled, and we saw you earlier push one right over, sent her flying backwards. he sings. mitko, how would you like your life to be?

he sings. some parents say they have little support to care for their own children in the community. and that they have no choice but to send their children away. the bulgarian government say they have created services to help parents look after their disabled children. today, there are around 300 small group homes. eu money has gone into building many of them. from the outside, they can appear modern and pleasant, but it is the care within them that is far more important. at this home, i

was able to film openly. this group home, built in 2016, is part of the steppingstone idea for those with disabilities becoming integrated into the community. there are 14 people living here, the youngest being sofia, who is 14 years old. her only disability is that she is deaf. she is thrilled to find that one of the dri team can use sign language. none of the staff here have been trained to sign. can you communicate? with the people who live here? with you? so staff here cannot sign. she teaches

people signs, which... sofia has been trying to teach a boy to sign so that she at last will have someone to talk to. sofia does not go to school. the staff tell us she is too disabled. i am amazed she has not become more institutionalised, trapped in silence with no—one seeming to make any effort to relieve her isolation. along the corridor are two young men who appear to live in their beds. it looks to be some kind of fortified porridge. the dri team tell me it is contrary to all accepted practice to feed them like this. coughs.

can you tell me about this young man? and what is his condition? further along the corridor from the two angels is george's room. george lives in total isolation. his door is locked from the outside. george is in his 30s. his diagnosis is

simply epilepsy. he is naked most of the time. the staff say this is his choice. he doesn't speak. he has a potty at the end of his bed. it's possible he'll spend the rest of his life inside this room, being observed by staff through the glass window. how can this be the best help on offer for a young, vulnerable man who may have many years ahead of him yet? george? it's very distressing to see such dire conditions in a relatively

new system held up as an example of good practice. it's clear how fortunate milen and misho are to be living in their home. mitko and sofia are struggling in clearly unsuitable homes. i want to catch up with someone else i met in mogilino — didi, who is milen‘s otherfriend at the institute. didi arrived at mogilino back in 2007. like mitko, didi is autistic. her motherfound it more and more difficult coping with her, so she sent her far away so that she couldn't find her way home.

didi would cling to the belief that her mother would come and get her, but milen had been listening to the staff and he knew the truth. didi's mother never visited her at mogilino and didi never returned home. instead, after the film, she was moved to a special adult boarding school, and i filmed with her in 2009.

all the students stay here for three years to learn life skills to prepare them for the outside world. man sings. today, i am visiting didi, who has been moved to a remote small group home. man continues singing. when you think of the time you spent in mogilino, what do you remember?

and what was it you liked about your boarding school in sofia?

it is heartbreaking to see didi. she was doing so well when i saw her eight years ago, making friends, working as a seamstress, contributing to society. now, isolated here, surrounded by old people, she has regressed completely. she is desperately thin and frantic and stutters as she talks. the institutionalised rocking that first appeared when she came to mogilino, but disappeared in the boarding school, is back. it feels a horrendous waste of a life. each resident is given a lunchtime sedative to make them more manageable for the staff. do you think it's ok that you live here with old people? what i see is somebody

who is misplaced in the environment she's in. she's in a home for people suffering with schizophrenia, but she does not have that diagnosis. you said that she had been waiting for around six months for a placement because she has already been here for eight years. when i see the way you are with didi, and didi said she loves you, didi cares for you, she has an affinity with you because she can communicate with you. mitko and sofia's directors are in a similar position.

they have no power to get more suitable placements for those in their care. milen and misho‘s home proves small homes can be wonderful, nurturing places. but there is a reason for that — their director, who loves them as her own, as family. do you believe that it's good

to have this, the small group homes and protected homes, or is it better to encourage the keeping of your own children and the fostering of children so that children go into families? while the new system of group homes is officially referred to as family—like residences, or small group homes, from what i've seen, many are neither small, nor are they family homes.
