This Op-Ed from Kenya's Daily Nation by Simon Njoroge paints a staggering picture of violations of human rights by child institutions. It also highlights the decades of research that have demonstrated how the institutionalisation of children harms their cognitive, social, and intellectual development. Furthermore, the op-ed describes how children are often recruited into institutions to and exploited to increase donations from visitors. The author argues that those who recruit children into unscrupulous homes should be charged in court.
