then the us are planning to sign what will be the new. rules of adoption will there be new rules there are a few changes and a few rules in this because this is the first agreement with the united states of america which will be signed i hope on these days and first of all we decrease the number of agencies official agencies which help candidates for future adoptive parents to take our russian children to their american families and we stop at all so-called independent option because the most problems which we hear when we say area of our interests. independent adoptions independent adoption is when this study acts not through an agency but like like played by a tour what i do now to morocco you can go through an agency and compare you can go through an agency though you could just individually come there find out tell so

this is individual adoption when people just buy these that come to moscow to find a child somewhere and try to sometimes to find in a person who can be an intermediate or it was brought for example in an independent lawyer this will be abolished for good only through age as well as well i've read that from now on adoption of russian children by families in the united states will be carried only i quote by u.s. based agencies that meet the hague adoption convention requirements yet what are. they principles they were there before and america was one of the countries who signed were they obligatory before that one of you can take attention to it it's necessary to be to be. recognised. official

agency in the united states of america based on principle of adoption convention and. official it in syria must be recognized in russia is official agency for adoption process unfortunately we do not recognize the how convention on adoption of children but anyway in the situation we. have this restriction or. necessary step to be to be united as an official agency based on hark adoption principle conventual here you are you talking about the officially recognized agency because it's very it's very comfortable for the american partners to do to establish all this work based on hard adoption principle from which ok you recently protest because i'm

sorry because we are part indifferent convention we got a nice. income of children's rights but the united states of america doesn't do it . at the same time as the united states of america recognize convention we do not part of this convention i see so you recently protested against an adoption of eight russian children it was carried out through a u.s. adoption organization doesn't this case that an official organization. perform to adoption and from your point of view it was it had to be turned out to be illegal. what paved the way corruption russian corruption isn't good at the root of the power of all the problems with adoption you're right when when when you are talking about some corruptions roots because each kid is which we know. into which we. researched for example the case of

art of severely the case of denise for her recall as a case of sisters. in each reese case we find out if some mistakes errors or illegal documents so it means that the candidates for future adoptive parents. presented some. i can see not. real papers not real do commence and in this situation we didn't have any chance to check it because there are no instrument nobody to to check so this this agreement will give you their ideal we say agreement to build up to establish the body the central body of peace agreement which will consist of american specialists and russian specialists minister for

education and from department of justice of the not is this of america is russia planning to to sign similar or similar agreements with countries in europe yes of course unfortunately during the last eight years eighteen years which we. have had this process of international adoptions we don't have enough enough agreements and we have only one agreement was italian republic unfortunately and our goal is to establish or underside all these contacts agreement of treaties with all contras from where adoptive parents come to russia to pick up due to take and to adopt our russian children crossed the border adoptions gone wrong have shown the failure of international law. or to look after children

right spotlights dimmy there are reports. a russian boy flown back to moscow but he's a doctor to family in america the story made headlines a year ago it stirred public indignation and made lawmakers of the two countries work on the solution seven year old are they live in the plano world with a note from these adoptive mother she claimed the boy was mentally unstable and she could no longer care for him after what happened to our told the russian foreign ministry immediately called for a suspension of all the options by u.s. citizens russia and the u. west eventually started drafting a bilateral agreement concerning the now after seven rounds of negotiation the document is about to be signed a set of rules governing cross border adoption is believed to guarantee the safety of russian children adopted by parents from the u.s. but america is just one out of dozens of countries where russian infants find

a home currently one hundred thirty thousand kids are in a waiting list for potential of being adopted by foreigners many russians believe the country should try and solve the problem of abandoned children domestically as for the international law there's another area which is believed to be on the regulated cross border disputes between divorced parents wake in the case of elizabeth who was abducted and taken across international borders by her own parents three times a russian poorly gave custody to the girl's mother while the french authorities to her father's side in cases like this it usually takes the efforts of diplomats and lawyers on both sides to reach an amicable deal between the two parties. you mentioned agreements with italy that you have in europe three years ago l. european can. some other countries that you're working with today we started to

walk on this matter on this issue starting from whiskeys which we look to. just so you know and. agreement with the french republic is almost too rigid and i hope it will be signed probably next spring. where we can agree meant there was israel because israel. has a bricked is too big for dogs and many russian children listen tell you speaking with the norwegian. and love you work with and. with a great deal of agency with a great deal of cases many countries but the most cases the most tragic cases that we hear about in the news the news comes from america how would you explain this regularity. of russian adopted children to children in the united states.

i was just a geneticist of america just free weeks ago and we this was not the first time. it was a special we visit the center internet and the national center for missing and exporting children and not me the american specialist told me the level of violence and cruelty in the american family is too high too high so you can see the situation the saudi towards russian children towards all children onto toward all children even their own children yes yes absolutely so so you want your saying now that american families generally cruel to. say so but as americans what is really says it all cruelty is more and more and more every year among among native americans or among immigrants or first wave immigrants i can cheerio. and. i think in the.

kinds of families what we can find it and i can compare this to asian is in that it is of american in russia because russia is a problem of cruelty and violence in our families against native children not only against the step or adopted children used to. you said in one of your interviews that since the adoption started while well like a wide practice more than fifteen years ago seven billion probably and it's been years ago seventeen russian children have died in the united states as a result of child abuse but some sixty thousand children born in russia have been adopted by families in the sixty thousand children maybe more seventeen of them died can we talk about and an exceptional level of violence

seventeen out of sixty thousand. you see a lot of large numbers doesn't work in vista sure and i can say is that. not sixty thousand probably much more about maybe more than a hundred thousand because we do not have any information about so kind independence adoption we don't have any information about children who were replaced from russia through the night is this where they live across the border adoption like yeah exactly even now we have two cases children who were sent for work asian and still in the united states of america. this is a win tonight is this we're going to get free as a goal for example as the case of the duma which now is leaving the famous.

in the state of iowa and the problem is that. parents are not parents exactly because they don't have any judicial status. to work through his child and they don't want to adopt him and do not want to let him go home to russia this is a zero situation says part of the presidential commissioner for children's rights spotlight will be back shortly will continue this interview after a break they'll go. hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on.

wealthy british scientists. it's not surprising. that. market. why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike's cancer a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on our. welcome back to spotlight i'm al gore in auburn my guest on the show is spiralis star of the presidential commission for children's rights panel you just mentioned and the exceptional case in the state of iowa in the united states when when a guy from russia a kid went on a vacation to stay with american family years ago yeah they don't want to adopt him and they don't want to send them back to russia and what about his own parents what are they doing where are they are they in russia does he add living parents no no no no he's in all his or from the other offered so he was sent on a vacation by an orphanage or what. was your support or for non-governmental

organization and now we hear a second case when aids children were pretty please from the russian federation for vacation to that the states of america and to a problem for years for free days ago on this is a had to be back but didn't. so i don't why does that happen this is a kind of fake cheryl adoption i can say but this is not a legal adult show they're actually nuking the kids i mean i mean but the kid has no rights if he's there is a legally what do american courts say about that all american official said told us that were is not violence or is not cruelty toward these children so or we don't have any authority to to do something even if me if you go to the united states and stay there for three years instead of three months they'll kick you out because you're violating. the laws so why is the kid staying with three years at it well

you can say things like i cannot explain the situation because we have some papers from some response from american officials from the state of our your some of the city way of use child leave now. this is they didn't see any any violations of law anywhere else. and as we told the. seventeen died or killed children in american adoptive families i can say. with the words of former under so there are german burly. american officer in the russian federation he told me that even while on is too much even ones do much ok the russian you mentioned that in russia the level of violence to be frank in families is as high as the united states is there true. even towards their own

children we can compare because we don't know the exact truth about the situation but the level of violence and cruelty against children adults their children need to chill is too high in conference how how how how serious is this problem with russia and who except your office is dealing with the problems of violence against children in inside russia family from my point of view which is the main problem of russian families in russian society because the level of cruelty and violence against sudan in russian families is too high too high and you can see that all problems of small children is going from these be here or their parents. abusing violence cruelty to work children. and we're working on the situation we're working

with prosecutors we're working with the investigative police authorities with a social worker because my my idea is to start to walk when the family just is staying on the border of this social instability and we have to start to work with this family starting early. but to prevent future cruelty of violence and the last time you came to this studio we talked with in this studio we talked about special juvenile courts and you said that pretty soon special juvenile justice will start working the courts will open when will that you when will you say is a problem is that in the russian society and first of all in russian mentality the juvenile system would do no justice is now something like. like

a ghost like a ghost and. many of our russian people do know they didn't do not know exactly what is this afraid of this scary wild. so called juvenile justice although i think we may get away with this is that many russians are it gives you an awkward is it because russians don't like judges i don't know maybe maybe maybe not don't don't don't like judges its own limited frae they're scared about judges and all the judge system but we have decided that we made the political decision to stop these. in the future a lot of juvenile system and that we have we hear some juvenile courts in the russian federation similar regions here's a so-called pioneer sprawl ject and juvenile courts and started to walk broadly ten years ago is there. duration we can we can research

experience we can present this experience to the public discussion for example and we're. the bull for the situation when some people in russia. for these doing or seize them or some against so in this situation we first of all need to calm down to go on them and never another problem we discussed in spotlight was the necessity of our children's arbitrement in schools because according to to statistics and used it is the story. but this is a terrific lie in two thousand and nine. thirty nine hundred children have committed suicide in two thousand and ten thirty seven hundred children have committed suicide because of humiliation at school is something done about it are ombudsman coming to schools probably were promised the problem is that official

figures but we know that the number of poor children more money is higher and the situation we're looking for some decision not very expensive decisions but necessary decision in the one i was there with is to establish a so-called mediation. or mediation group or mediation mediator who can be between. the school for it is parents and children and where we're looking for the decision to establish psychologist in every in every school oh maybe to establish the institute of a school or school commissioner for juveniles rights. few different issues but all of them can be the system for prevention of so high numbers of suicide.

young children but who will children trust i mean you need a lot of people young people that will be trusted by kids well well well you can have britney spears working at it as such a person mediating but. you need people of this level of trust from. this is a main idea to have a person. who can be. who who children can trust to and who they will talk to i mean exactly and. i'm sure that in every city in every region we can find such a person who can do it and the problem is that nobody wants to search his people. who can be mediator or some. unofficial affords here for these children ever since but there are hundreds of schools so we need hundreds of people like what one was

a major source of prevention for children. to a form of droste. a special time for special tell one year and we had that for their own number which is now our work in a region in the recent years telephone psychologist it was where you have yes i can say that i have checked. many regions in more than sixty regions and irreligion is working and. every week they got a good two or three calls from children who has ideas about maybe future. thank you thank you very much and just to remind that that my guest in this video today was part of the presidential commission for children rights and that's it for now from all of us if you want to have your sales problem. there are someone of the mind that you think i should invite scale to the
