From January 1, 2014, the children who are subjected to abuse and violence and their parents will be able to benefit from gratis specialized services through the agency of a service that will be launched by the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection and Family. Minister Valentina Buliga said the Ministry already worked out and approved the normative framework for organizing and providing the free assistance service Child’s Phone, IPN reports.
Valentina Buliga stated that through the agency of the new service, the children subject to abuse and violence will benefit from free counseling and information services. The Child’s Phone can also be used by parents and persons looking after children.
The minister said violence is typical not of Moldova only. Moldova is in the middle of the list of countries with the highest level of violence against children and women. Violence affects not only the poor or vulnerable families, but also the rich ones. The problem derives from the fact that the parents do not understand that a child must be educated by communication.
