Acknowledgment of child protection workers is extremely important

Acknowledgment of those working in the child protection system is particularly important, as they do everything they can to straighten out the lives of young people who leave institutions and thus become tax-paying citizens, said Attila Fülöp, the State Secretary responsible for care policy at the Ministry of the Interior, on Thursday in Kalocsán.

Attila Fülöp at the Kalocsa member institution of the Special Children's Home Center - which is a children's home, primary school and vocational school - emphasized that this is why the Hungarian government took a measure. Namely, that from January this year, the allowances of those working in special children's homes will be increased fivefold. Also thanking them for their work. On the year-end children's day, the state secretary stated that "if a young person's life lacks security and attachment, then protection is especially important there. The system of child protection is particularly important". He emphasized that the time young people spend in child protection is a transitional period. "The 23,000 children in Hungary today are usually placed in child protection not out of their own volition, out of a good mood, and not for lack of merit."

Attila Fülöp said that people living and working in children's homes should see the complexity, traumas and spiritual depths that a children's home and child protection carry. In the country, hundreds of children and young people with serious psychological problems live in similar homes, he said. He touched on the following: The managers and employees of the special children's home in Kalocsá undertake to deal with young boys who are perhaps in the most difficult situation. The most traumatized, but still trying to "get their lives straight". Gábor Juhász, director of the children's home in Kalocsa, said: the residents of the special children's home in Esztergom will be hosted on the year-end children's day. The meeting is filled with team competitions, joint cooking, and crafts, and ends with a concert by the Kalocsai Boys Band.
