Two young Rroma children who were removed in London from their parent’s home (at birth and at the age of 15 months) are now allowed to be given for adoption following a ruling of the High Court.
The children were traken away against their parents’ will because of the poverty and squalid conditions they lived in. The parent, Rroma from Hungary, meanwhile returned to Hungary.
Here, the well being of the children was used as an argument. But is it really sufficient to deprive them of their parents and to deprive the parents of their children?

A new report in Ireland shows that Rroma are often affected by racism and are more prone to poverty. The survey was conducted by Rroma activists and covered 30 households, i.e. a rather small number.
Irish Integration minister, David Stanton, meanwhile said that Rroma must be integrated.
Good!
