To the Day of Protection of Children

I love all sorts of thrillers, horror films, mysterious mysticism. I do not like only one thing in these films - when children are tormented. Because to torment children is mean.

The same thing in life. Recently, several “children's” stories have been in the spotlight at once. Two crazy citizens - Belenky and Andre - how a thing divide their daughter with the active participation of the ubiquitous defender of the disadvantaged Kucheren. An international conflict was released with Finland because of the transport in the trunk across the border of the child, because here the parents did not share something among themselves. Now Sasha - or Sandra - Zarubina in line. And again on the horse of politics and diplomats, again the "patriots" in the forefront. Moreover, in this case, victory for us! The court decided to take the child from Portugal to Russia, from Portuguese adoptive parents to a biological Russian mother.

But in this story, the child himself turned out to be “superfluous”. Of course, the girl is small and she cannot decide independently with whom and where she lives, but it seems to me that Sasha-Sandra is not particularly interested in anyone-she is interested in something (exactly something), with the help of which you can make an advertisement and raise a patriotic wave under the slogan "We do not give our own, we will save our children from foreigners."

And in such stories, the main character occupies the audience for a very short time. After the victory about Sasha, they would instantly forget and even began to forget if it hadn’t occurred to someone to just come and see: how, in fact, she has business in the new homeland? Because from Portugal from the completely decent Portuguese guardians who actually became parents for the girl, a child was quite prosperous in appearance - what is called, well -fed, shod, dressed. And the Russian diplomat in court promised that in Russia a girl would definitely not be worse, that she is guaranteed love and concern. His Portuguese colleague, who played on Echo, said on the air that the Portuguese respect Russia, that Portugal is one of the few countries throughout Europe, which has no problems with us. Russia is large and rich, and the judge had no reason not to believe the official representative of the state, who promised Sasha normal living conditions.

And these conditions were photographed on film and showed. An alcoholic appearance (and in many testimonies, not only species) mother, equally gloomy new relatives, untidy hut, no one essentially works, the child is publicly handed out to the child. The child who, by the way, does not speak in Russian. And the mother, although she lived in Portugal for seven, seems to be years old, speaks this language badly. What she did there is a mystery, but the fact that she was going to deport it is a fact. And it was precisely on the occasion of the upcoming deportation that she remembered the child, whom she had almost never seen in these six years. Sasha has never been to Russia, and most likely it would never have been here. Because, on the one hand, there were decent people-bells who raised a girl like a daughter. On the other hand, a very dubious lady, with a very dubious reputation, in which life circumstances are not difficult in an example. And there are no visible prerequisites for something to change here. If only because what was so shocked by the Portuguese who saw a report, and made the judge repent in the decision - all this is not a catastrophe by Russian standards. This is the usual life of our people away from the capital. I hut, stove, no work, there is moonshine.

It is clear that there is a biological mother, that the mother is sacred. But the child is also sacred. And the mother did not want to know about her child until she was impatient. And what is better for the girl - to live in normal conditions and a normal family, albeit alien by blood, or "native blood", but is it all non -casual? “But at home, in their homeland,” many will say. But the girl’s homeland is not here. There she has a homeland and relatives there, and her native language is not ours. So, maybe the interests of the child are more important than the interests of the mother?

A difficult situation, almost 50 to 50. But I outweighed the “our” bowl of Libra why? Because the official representative of Russia came out and, if we speak without abysses, lied. The Portuguese court deceived, who had no reason not to believe him. The diplomat probably received gratitude, television and newspapers were trimmed with victory. And a little girl, perhaps, was broken all her life.
