Hello. I am writing to you for help, but not for himself but for those who ask for himself unable to.
Within a few months with my child I am on treatment and on the advisory supervision of DGB № 1. By necessity closely adjoined to the hospital life, I discovered the problem of child objectors who come from orphanages in the hospital. Total abandonment, neglect of these children have made a painful impression on me, but the true horror caused a condition in which children are "heavy" - paralyzed, not talking, eating through a tube.
Children are scared exhausted. Even exhausted - many represent a simple skeletons covered with skin - too small for his physical age. Trying to opportunities to visit them and bring them diapers and other hygiene items, which often is not enough, I noticed that getting only the most basic hospital food - sparse soups, mashed potatoes and porridge with water - the children manage to significantly - ie . visible to the eye - to gain weight.
I also learned that all children have infected me with their terrible state, came to the hospital from the same place - DDI № 4 (Pavlovsk). Then my suspicions have arisen, which in reality was afraid to believe - really children, helpless orphan patients, entirely dependent on those nagging them the state can not feed the banal? House, typing on the internet "Pavlovsky orphanage № 4", I found that the agency regularly gets involved in scandals, and most recently the children wrote a collective letter to the President complained that they are bad and little food. My worst suspicions were confirmed.
The last straw for me was meeting with the boy Ilya reached the 10 years (see photo). When I first saw him, I felt sick - something similar to this I had only seen in movies about the war, when they showed concentration camp prisoners. When Elijah went to the hospital, he was so weak that he could not eat by yourself (in the nose was a tip for feeding) and had difficulty breathing. But then his condition improved, the probe was removed and he was eating with a spoon - I saw how he ate - greedily swallowing the limited amount of food, which allowed him to give due to its degeneration. And ... well!
No matter how cynical it sounds, but the picture is a little Ilya recovered compared to how he looked when he entered the hospital. Now he has been discharged and I am very worried that he would soon again be on the verge of death. I hope my letter will be given a publicity. I just hope other people who might watch it, will not remain indifferent and the same will be treated in different instances.

To our knowledge, only in 2010 in a boarding school there were 80 inspections, 4 of them - prosecutors. The inspectors have not found very serious violations, sufficient to dismiss a director or a criminal investigation. Last check turned to the Director of DDI № 4 Galina Ivanovna Plemyannikovoy - reprimand, but it was caused by a letter from orphanages President Dmitry Medvedev last October:
Letter to President Dmitry Medvedev
October 2010
Dmitry A.!
You are drawn orphanage № 4 Pavlovsk.
We were badly fed. Cook, deputy director Dadonova TG and Director Plemyannikova GI steal food. In the food are food waste. We at the orphanage only 4 cases in 553 children.
We (older folks) are in a rehabilitation unit in the first case. Rehabilitation of the closed type. Children work janitors, kitchen, wash. Pay is 500 rubles. When we want to go to the store with a tutor, write a statement - that we want to afford. This application is considered by the administration. Purchase of personal items is prohibited. Passports and money we do not give out your hands. In the city itself does not exit. Although we were 20-24. In the rehabilitation department of us are going to hold up to 40 years. Administration of feeds for our money. Children work seven days a week, hauling heavy containers of food. Children are almost nowhere to move.
When the check arrives (Committee on Social Protection and the Prosecutor's Office), the administration begins to corrupt that we are fine. That's not true. We know what happens. Children wash their toilets at night, cleaners we have not. We have already returned and the prosecutor's office and the Committee on Social Protection - all useless. At the orphanage disorder. When we come to the sponsors and make money, the director takes the money in his pocket. Nurse in the second group of the first body Antonova, NN as stealing food, comes to work drunk, smoking in the toilet at night.
When we turn to a committee or prosecutor, the Director is threatening us (the procedure simply pricks, sent to a mental hospital). All children are maltreated.
We will be glad if you take action. Because it does not matter. Thank you very much and all the best.
We are: Vladimir A. Fedorov, Figurin Viktor Vladimirovich, Yankovenko Sergey, Yuri V. Merchant, Milischenya Alexander E. Mikhailov, Matthew A., Antonov, Valentin Smirnov, Victor V. Orlov, Vadim, and others.
