For the case of the two little girls who have been raped for three months by their father and his friend, the public prosecutor’s office should bring a process for criminal accountability against the Center for Social welfare.

This is the attitude of the former public prosecutor, while from the prosecutor’s office of Skopje claim they shall not take any measures against the Center that should take measures by itself.

 -The case should be analyzed, but in any case the prosecution should bring a process against the Center for Social welfare, regardless of the basis taken for its proceeding- stated former public prosecutor, Stevan Pavleski.

Yesterday, the prosecutor’s office of Skopje told us that they shall not take any measures against the Center for Social welfare, since the Center for Social welfare should take the necessary steps by itself.

The Ministry for Labor and social politics, announced that a procedure is brought for taking away of the custody of the father-pedophile, but according to the First Children’s Embassy in the World Megjashi it should have been done much earlier, before than giving custody to a person with such a record.

From the Center for Social welfare that has authority over the sleeping quarters where the two little girls have passed most of the time, share the opinion that the Center could not know who were the parents who had left their children because of poverty at the sleeping quarters so they could continue their education. The haven’t noticed any problems in behavior, and hadn’t known that the father was alcoholic who had forced his wife to prostitute and collect food from containers.

Sexual abuse produces lone wolfs

Child victim of sexual abuse suffers traumatic reaction along with anxiety and fear, but if it has been abused by a close relative or a friend, then it loses the trust in people, has low self-confidence as well as smaller capacity for learning,  there is regression in the education, claim psychologists and psychiatrists.

According to them, these consequences are basis for problems related to understanding and remembering, weak control of emotions and depressive disorders, and these children almost always have problems in their sexual life.
