Critical overpopulation
Volunteers hopelessness students Pawlowski orphanage too conspicuous.
- The problem is that children are deprived of any hope for rehabilitation, - the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda in one of the organizations whose employees work here. - Yes, they are difficult, with the disease, but not hopeless. Capable guys a lot, they are teachable and can become full members of society. In boarding school virtually no socialization.
Health Standards in the institutions of this type should be no more than three hundred people. Optimal capacity - sixty pupils. And in a boarding school № 4 550 children live! Nurse for very little money, according to the testimony of volunteers, "sutured. On each accounting for about ten or twelve guys behind which needs constant care - to change clothes, feed and communicate.

- Kids who look like concentration camp victims, really heavy - confirm volunteers. - But their bodies, it seems, rejects the food is not due to illness. Any parent knows that kids often have to engage in some kind of game, to eat. Children in a boarding school for days lying in a bed without walking, due attention to adult entertainment. Do nurses have no time, and the kids really start to feel like "vegetables".

Comments of experts
"This is a problem of care"
St. Petersburg doctors are reluctant to comment on the situation in the Pavlovsk boarding. And certainly do not want their names mentioned: medical world is narrow, and the institution will probably be inspected. God forbid, to spoil relations with the boss, speaking ahead of him with bold statements.
But on condition of anonymity, we were able to talk with a neurologist, MD, a professor who regularly participate in such inspections.
- Certainly, the disease, in which the child can completely refuse to eat or not to take food there - he said. - It can even result in death. Therefore, requires hospitalization and serious treatment. But such states are rare. In boarding school, as far as I know, such cases are not isolated - in the hospital regularly come out with the children at the rate of depletion.
Personally, I have serious doubts about it: hardly state due exclusively to medical reasons. In my opinion, a boarding school there is a serious problem of caring for sick children. I do not think that there is brazenly steal food or specially adjusted children to malnutrition. Most likely, the staff just too lazy to bother. Do not eat a child - and right. Force feed him through a tube or by nutrient solutions seems reluctant. And when the pupil will be like from Buchenwald, you can shove in a hospital where he was more or less will return to normal.
But I stress - this is just my speculation. Similarly, the situation can be assessed only by those who will check the boarding school. I still offer to participate in the inspection were reported.
