Place and application of the new Law "On Administrative Procedure" in the regulation of public e-services

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the place and application of the new Law "On Administrative Procedure" in regulating public electronic services in Ukraine. Enacted on December 15, 2023, the Law aims to establish a system of unified, understandable, and transparent interaction between public authorities and citizens and businesses. The article examines the main provisions of the Law, focusing on the principles of administrative procedure and norms regulating the resolution of administrative matters using electronic digital technologies. Based on the analysis of legislation texts, comparative analysis, and consideration of practical aspects of the new law's implementation, the conclusion is drawn regarding the importance of applying its norms to the sphere of public services, including those provided through digital technologies. It is found that the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" sets general standards for administrative procedure ensuring the observance of rights of individuals and legal entities in relations with administrative authorities, regardless of whether such interaction occurs through physical or electronic channels. Special legislation may define the specifics of providing certain types of public services, but the general standards of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" must be adhered to. The article also highlights the main directions for further research and possible directions for further development of legislation in this area. The application of the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" allows not just to copy the logic of the paper world into digital services, but to develop innovative approaches. This means that the right to participate in the administrative process can be implemented through online offices, the possibility to submit documents in electronic format, support for communication through digital channels and the creation of additional functions that complement the main service

المكتبات المدرسية التونسية: خيارات الهيكلة والتنظيم نحو العصرنة

School Libraries and information centers are part of a complex educational environment supervised by the Ministry of National Education and its regional and local representations. These libraries are also subject to the intervention of multiple actors in terms of collection, documentary funds, processing and exercise of administrative authority over them. School libraries require a legal framework that regulates them, regulates their tasks and roles, and determines their relationships with other associated structures ... These libraries need librarians equipped with professional competence and ambition to enable them to implement strategies and programs related to reading and to exploit information resources. The recruitment, appointment, promotion and transfer of these librarians must also be supervised by a known and controlled administrative structure made up of stakeholders in the field of libraries and documentation on the one hand and the various people dealing with school's libraries on the second hand. This paper attempts to answer: is the current legal and regulatory framework sufficient for school libraries to achieve what they aspire to be in our current era? Answering to this question requires identifying, developing and studying the current legal framework governing school libraries and the guides to the procedures adopted for their management, in addition to the list of libraries subject to the supervision of the Tunisian Ministry of Education. Also, how to equip them, award their accreditations ... The second part of the article is devoted to the presentation of some possible structural, organizational and procedural solutions for the administrative and technical supervision of the area of libraries and documentation and the formulation of a program or of a plan to help the school libraries keeping pace with technology and be an effective support for the progress of the education system and the improvement of the academic and cognitive results of its visitors, which gives them a central place in school life. To formulate these solutions, we rely mainly on theoretical and professional references, comparing the field of libraries and documentation with similar or close fields, and on the experiences of countries where school libraries occupy an important place and play a role essential in the school life of students and teachers. To achieve the objectives, we relied on the descriptive and analytical approach because it is characterized by realism which is in line with this study which deals with the analysis of the structure and management of school libraries in Tunisia.

Problems and tasks of improving land management system in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The article considers the sphere of land management in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is to determine problems of land management system in the republic and the tasks of its improvement in the future. The research methodology included a desk method for collecting and analyzing data on the activities of land administration authorities. The problems were identified in the following three areas: legislative regulation of land use, management and control of state ownership of land, the process of digitalization of land management. As a result, it was found that the national land administration system does not fully meet the needs of the modern economy. In order to improve the land management system, it is proposed to solve the following tasks: to improve the quality of legal regulation; carry out a complete digitization of land; form an integrated electronic land management system; develop and implement the state program “Digital Land Management” until 2025. The results of the study contribute to the development of a new land management model in Kazakhstan, aimed at encouraging the national government to develop a new land management strategy, increasing the transparency of the management system as well as simplifying the process of administration in this area.

대행 관련 법제도 분석 및 개선방안

The agency system of administrative affairs has many provisions under the current law, but there is no unified definition provision. Therefore, in order to prevent confusion in law enforcement and to improve the efficiency of administration through the agency of administrative affairs, a legal reorganization is required. This study attempted to systematize the legal principles of the agency system through comparison with adjacent concepts and analysis of related precedents, to identify a general principles through investigation and categorizing of the current law that codified the agency. Chapter 2 analyzes legal theories and precedents related to the agency system. In the case of an agency, it is distinguished from delegation or consignment to which authority and responsibility are transferred in that the agency is given virtually independent administrative authority, but the authority is not legally transferred, and it is also different from an administrative assistant who technically executes administrative affairs independently according to the direction of the administrative agency. The agency system is characterized by the reservation of its authority and responsibility because all legal effects are bound to the agency and the agency is not specified as an agent. Regarding agency, the Supreme Court cases judge the term agency based on the meaning of the actual use of the term agency, such as denying or affirming the effect of disposition in the name of the agent by grasping the legal nature of the agency in detail. In the case of the Constitutional Court, there are many judgments on whether the agency system related to freedom of occupation is unconstitutional. In Chapter 3, provisions related to agency are categorized based on the results of an investigation of the current laws. It is classified into a type in which the state or local government, which is the agency to act, entrusts administrative affairs to the private sector based on laws and regulations, a form in which an administrative agency entrusts administrative affairs to another administrative agency, and a case in which the administrative agency entrusts the authority and duties in the event of an vacancy of a job performer. Examining based on these types of work, there are limitations that it is difficult to find the general principles of the agency system that apply to all the provisions under the current law that stipulate agency. In addition, there are many articles that stipulate ‘entrustment or agency’, so it seems desirable to reorganize the legal system in a parallel way that legalizes issues specific to administrative agency and reorganizes agency articles used in the same sense as entrustment or delegation. If a plan to improve the agency system is presented based on these implications, it should prioritize creating a general rule on the agency's general affairs, and making preliminary guidelines on the permission, basis, reservation of authority and responsibility of the agency. It needs to improve legal consistency by preparing regulatory provisions for the agency, making it a general provision that the administrative agency has the authority to direct and supervise administrative affairs. It is necessary to reserve the authority to take measures such as ordering or correcting the agency's handling of administrative affairs, and to codify where external responsibility may arise to third parties due to the suspension or cancellation of the agency. At the same time, it is necessary to amend the provisions under the individual laws that stipulate agency into entrustment, delegation, and acting on duty to meet specific legal characteristics.

Wojewoda jako organ właściwy w zakresie zwalczania zagrożeń bezpieczeństwa państwa

Security is ensured at different levels of governance in the field, as well as by various administrative authorities, including in the region by the provincial governor (Pol. wojewoda). The central-government administration also plays an important role in this regard. The provincial governor is no exception here, as the legislature has entrusted this body with an important mission in this sphere. The counteraction of special threats by the provincial governor is linked to the fact that he is a representative of the Council of Ministers in the region, equipped with important competences in the field of security. The governor implements his policy (including that relating to security) within the area of the province (Pol. województwo). His competence to prevent and remove specific risks concerns, i.a., emergencies, crisis management and the state of epidemic threat or the state of epidemic. When taking action in this area, the governor may exercise sovereign powers in certain situations requiring their addressee to conduct in a specific way, whether by act or omission. The purpose of this paper is to characterise the status of the provincial governor in the field of security, where the threat is of an aggravated nature. Due to such a defined research objective, it was necessary to analyse the provisions in the field of tasks and competences of the provincial governor when facing extraordinary threats (or the possibility of their emergence).

Dynamics and Predictions of Urban Expansion in Java, Indonesia: Continuity and Change in Mega-Urbanization

This paper is situated within the discussion of mega-urbanization, a particular urbanization process that entails a large-scale agglomeration. In this paper, our focus is on urbanization in Java, Indonesia’s most dynamic region. We add to the literature by investigating the change and prediction of the land use/land cover (LULC) of mega-urbanization in Java. This research uses a vector machine approach to support the classification of land cover change dynamics, cellular automata-Markov (CA Markov), and the Klassen typology technique. This paper indicates that major metropolitan areas are still expanding in terms of built-up areas, generating a larger urban agglomeration. However, attention should be also given to the urbanization process outside existing metropolis’ boundaries given that more than half of the built-up land coverage in Java is located in non-metropolitan areas. In terms of future direction, the projection results for 2032 show that the Conservative scenario can reduce and slow down the increase in built-up land on the island of Java. On the other hand, the Spatial Plan (RTRW) scenario facilitates a rapid increase in the LULC of built-up land from 2019. The urban spatial dynamics in Java raises challenges for urban and regional planning as the process is taking place across multiple administrative authorities.

Integration of Internally Displaced Children in the Labour Market During a Period of Crisis Related to Cultural Depravity in the Mayo Tsanaga Division - Far North Region of Cameroon

Objective: This article takes a holistic look at the integration of internally displaced children, who have graduated or are in the final stages of a general education course, into the labour market in a crisis situation in the Department of Mayo Tsanaga. Method: This anthropological research is based on empirical data collected from students, MINEDUB/MINAS officials, NGOs and members of the host community. Before going into the field, an information note indicating the purpose of the study, the period of the study and the profile of the interviewer was sent to the administrative authorities. As in all qualitative research, the saturation point was reached after ten interviews, i.e. until it seemed that no new information could be obtained. The interviews were conducted individually in the locations requested by the respondents, and then recorded using a Dictaphone, and sometimes by Android telephone. Results: This article takes a holistic look at the integration of internally displaced children who have completed their schooling into the labour market. The analysis shows that no specific measures are being taken by the Cameroon government and its implementing partners in charge of education to recruit this vulnerable group who, despite the difficulties they face as a result of forced displacement, have nonetheless managed to complete their schooling. Discussion: The particularity of this article is that, in addition to being situated between forced displacement, terrorism and formal education, as UNESCO states, "in a crisis situation you have to save education". With cultural connectivity as its Ariadne's thread, this article mobilises the measures taken by stakeholders to encourage or compel parents to contribute to their children's education despite the hostilities, insecurity and armed conflicts that have arisen. Conclusion: The IDPs who are the subject of this study come from villages and communities in the Mayo Tsanaga department, with different cultures and d

The Institution of the Prefecture in Romania (1864– 1892): Between Social Relations of Patronage and Political Networks

Historical research on the institution of the prefecture in Romania (United Principalities) in the 19th century, as a fundamental institution of modern state administration, involves several levels of analysis, combining institutional, political and social history. Our paper will focus on several aspects, in relation to a number of historical features specific to the Romanian case. These features stem from the implementation of a Western-origin institutional model in Romania, after the union of the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, until the end of the 19th century. During this period, a maturation of the modern administration can be observed, both legislatively and functionally. In addition to the legislative framework of this period (the communal law of April 1864, amended in March 1872 and March 1883, the law on county councils of April 1864 and the law on the organization of administrative authorities of November 1892), other factors are also noteworthy, which made the prefect in Romania not only a government agent at the local level, but also a county administrator: the patronage relations of the Romanian elite – a legacy of the Old Regime, and the gradual consolidation of the power networks of the governing political parties, both of which had a relevant impact on the selection process of local officials and the conduct of parliamentary elections. Keywords: Institutional history, administrative reform, ispravnik, prefect

Adherence of Public Officials to the Disclosure of Conflict of Interest While Performing Their Job Responsibilities: A Comparative Study between French and Jordanian Law

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the legal framework regarding the duty of public officials to disclose conflicts of interest and draw lessons from the French experience. It identifies legislative gaps in Jordanian laws concerning the duties of public officials, the nature of conflicts of interest, and the mechanisms for disclosure during and after service. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive, analytical, and comparative approach. It presented relevant legal texts defining the responsibilities of public officials, clarified the nature of conflicts of interest and their cases, analyzed and interpreted their content, and compared them with French law. Results: The prevalence of conflicts of interest can be attributed to the lack of awareness among public officials due to the omission of a mechanism for mandatory disclosure and effective methods to confront these conflicts in Jordanian legislation. Furthermore, administrative control over public officials has not been adequately activated. Conclusions: Legislative frameworks, both preventive and precautionary, are necessary to regulate the disclosure of conflicts of interest in public service. The study recommends adopting the French approach by establishing an independent administrative authority dedicated to public transparency. This authority would declare and publish employees' interests, prevent conflicts of interest, disclose, and mitigate their cases, and enhance transparency between citizens and the administration.

Etyka administracji publicznej a funkcja edukacyjna sądów administracyjnych – glosa częściowo krytyczna do wyroku Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z 15 lipca 2021 r., sygn. akt III OSK 3869/21

This gloss discusses two, at first glance imperceptible, problems that are concentrated in the ruling analyzed. The first of these is the practical application of ethical principles by public administration bodies. In the case being commented on – submitting an application for a school scholarship beyond the statutory deadline – the public administration authorities not only failed to fulfill their obligations related to the fair consideration of the case, but also to provide protection to a family in a difficult life situation. Such protection is guaranteed not only by statutes, including the Code of Administrative Procedure, but also by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and international agreements binding on Poland. The Supreme Administrative Court’s judgment focused primarily on the analysis of the provisions of the Education System Act, without paying much attention to the above-mentioned problem of standards that should guide public administration. In the author’s opinion, such a way of considering the case, which ignores the broader context of the primary causes of the entire problem, should be considered as a serious omission. In the light of the fundamental role of the courts in protecting the fundamental rights of the individual, as well as the influence of case law on shaping the legal culture of public authorities and society, the duty of the court – especially the court of last instance – is to provide a detailed explanation of all doubts that have arisen in a given case and a comprehensive justification of the reasons for a given decision. The goal that the court should strive for is not only to uphold and promote certain standards or maintain the uniformity of case law, but also to ensure that both the parties and all other recipients of the judgment have no or the least possible doubts as to the correctness of the judgment. All this significantly affects the authority of the judiciary and the trust of citizens in it, and thus to some extent, also their faith in the entire public authority in Poland.

Areas and situations for the study of water sustainability

The Social Sciences have contributed to the study of Sustainable Development from economic analysis, political, social, psychological and media on the consumption of natural resources in reference to their availability, extraction, and distribution, supply and recycling. In this sense, the objective of this work is to outline eight areas for the analysis of water issues. The relationship between availability and consumption of water belonging to the public supply network is described to establish a system of water tariffs set to situational water areas. In the case of water consumption rates, they seem to be due to public policies "clientelistic" that make it unfair charging system, subsidies, penalties, trading and transparency. The prevalence of clientelist system encourages water and increases the problems of conflicts between citizens and government through neighborhood networks against administrative authorities. In the future, the trend of availability and water consumption seems to outline a situation of extreme scarcity in which conflicts over water supply will be an indicator to explain economic crisis, political, social and individual. The discussions of water issues that prevent humanity develop sustainably contribute in building a public agenda water.

SŁUŻBA CELNO-SKARBOWA A STRAŻ GRANICZNA W RZECZYPOSPOLITEJ POLSKIEJ PO REFORMIE ADMINISTRACJI SKARBOWEJ Z 1 MARCA 2017 ROKU

The scientific problem discussed in the article is to determine the essence of the creation of the Customs and Tax Service as a result of the reform of the tax administration in Poland in 2017 and to assess the correctness and legitimacy of its functioning in comparison with the functioning of the Border Guard. The paper uses the formal-dogmatic method based on the analysis of legal acts, which is the main method used in legal sciences. The method of critical analysis of the literature was also used. The Customs and Tax Service was established by the Act of 1 March 2017 on the National Revenue Administration together with the reform of the tax administration, combining the Customs Service and the tax administration authorities, while the Border Guard operates on the basis of the provisions of the Act of 12 October 1990 on the Border Guard. Both of these services are uniform, uniformed and armed formations designed to protect the state border, control traffic at the state border and ensure the protection of the customs territory of the European Community (Customs and Revenue Service) or counteract illegal migration (Border Guard). The same scope of many powers raises doubts as to the legitimacy of the creation of the Customs and Revenue Service and, consequently, as to the functioning of two uniformed formations performing, as the analysis shows, many of the same or similar tasks. In addition, the same issue of duplication of powers has been identified with regard to officers and officials of the National Revenue Administration. The question is whether such a solution and division of tasks should continue to function. The results of the findings clearly indicate that most of the tasks of the Customs and Revenue Service are duplicated with those of the Border Guard, and the tasks that currently lie solely within the competence of the Customs and Revenue Service could be distributed among the already functioning formations.

ExpTODIM-driven framework for 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic MAGDM with applications to teaching quality evaluation in higher education

Since the new century, the main theme of my country’s higher education is to improve the quality of teaching. To this end, the education administrative department and the vast number of colleges and universities have done a lot of work. Looking back, this teaching quality construction involving thousands of colleges and universities across the country has attracted much attention from all walks of life. The government as the organizer promotes the active participation of colleges and universities in the form of teaching evaluation under the leadership of administrative authority and the “quality engineering” project with resources and reputation, which has played a huge role in improving the teaching quality of colleges and universities. The teaching quality evaluation in higher education is a classical multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) issue. Recently, the Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) method has been used to cope with MAGDM issues. The 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) are used as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the teaching quality evaluation in higher education. In this paper, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic number ExpTODIM (2TLNN-ExpTODIM) is built to solve the MAGDM under 2TLNSs. In the end, a numerical case study for teaching quality evaluation in higher education is given to validate the proposed method. The main contribution of this paper is constructed: (1) the Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) method is extended to the PLTSs; (2) the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic number ExpTODIM (2TLNN-ExpTODIM) is built to solve the MAGDM under 2TLNSs; (3) Finally, a numerical case study for teaching quality evaluation in higher education is given to validate the proposed method.

The prevalent perplexities and countermeasures of the survey and settlement operation of Bangladesh

Identification of land through an effective land survey ensures a secure land tenure system as well as conveys a smooth settlement of land disputes. At this backdrop, the study is framed with the objective of assessing the efficacy of Zonal Settlement System (ZSS) in Bangladesh. Using non-doctrinal data collection techniques, the study found that the prevailing settlement operation conducted under ZSS in Bangladesh is surrounded by a traditional, complex, and lengthy survey method. The study also revealed that insufficient manpower, inadequacy of technical support, administrative misfeasance, and ineffective dispute resolution arrangements worsen the situation. However, the study discovered that initiation of digital land survey and inauguration of an extensive capacitybuilding program will be instrumental in overcoming the crisis. Based on the deliberate discussion, the study also recommends for establishing a time-saving and fruitful land surveying approach, along with effective and robust supervisory administration and dispute resolution authority.

China’s Crackdown on Crypto Mining from a Climate Perspective: Unified Efforts from Administrative Authorities and the Judiciary

Abstract This article presents an examination of the unified efforts by China’s central authorities and the judiciary in the crackdown on crypto mining within the country. It discusses the environmental ramifications of crypto mining and traces its development in China, highlighting the resource-intensive nature of the process. Crypto mining risks China’s national objectives of promoting high-quality economic and social development, as well as industrial optimisation, energy conservation and emissions reduction. The central government’s commitment to climate goals and ecological civilisation, coupled with the perceived minimal economic benefits and substantial environmental damage caused by crypto mining, led to the issuance of the Notice on Rectifying Mining Activities of Virtual Currencies in September 2021. This article discusses the implications of the Notice and how it has been implemented at both national and local levels by the administrative authorities. With reference to typical cases, it examines how the judiciary in delivering judgments has kept in line with the spirit of the Notice by analysing mining-related civil disputes as they arise in courts and reflects on the interplay of legal and administrative measures in shaping a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to emerging technologies in China and beyond.

The Legal Regulation of Licensing in the Saudi System

This study delves into the concept and legal nature of building permits within the Saudi regulatory framework, highlighting building permits as crucial administrative licenses. These permits allow individuals to engage in construction activities under defined rules and conditions aimed at organizing urban development and preserving the civilized character of cities and towns. The research discusses the definitions of building permits as set forth by the Saudi regulator and clarifies their legal nature as administrative decisions issued by the administrative authority to serve the public interest, demonstrating how they align with the elements of an administrative decision. The study details the conditions required for the issuance of a building permit, such as the necessity for the land to be within the urban boundary and the submission of a formal application by the owner, fulfilling all the statutory requirements and conditions. It also discusses the administrative authority's power to grant or withhold the permit and how this authority is restricted by statutory conditions to ensure a balance between private and public interests. Furthermore, the research explores the scope of application for building permits, elucidating the works requiring permits like construction, alterations, restoration, and others. It clarifies that the Saudi system encompasses all regions of the kingdom without exception under specific conditions that ensure the safety and quality of construction, considering the public interest. The study concludes by affirming the importance of building permits in regulating urban development and securing real estate rights within a legal framework that serves the public interest and promotes sustainable urban development.

Covid-19 Vaccination: An Attitude Analysis of Global Users of Social Media Towards Government Communication

Amidst a global pandemic, the key challenge before governments, health institutions and administrative authorities is to communicate and inform the general public about the never-heard of morbidity, virology and immunity in their simplest form and language. However, this can only be possible when they can appropriately predict the perceptions and reactions of public to a given set of communications regarding the disease, preventive measures and the adoption of established principles of users’ perceptions. This article is a study of the users’ perceptions about Covid-19 vaccination. It conducts sentiment analysis in Python on a dataset of global users of the social media channel Twitter. The dataset available at kaggle.com, comprising 51,393 tweets from December 2020 to February 2021 with more than fifteen features, was put to test. The majority of the people (60.8%) expressed their neutral sentiments towards vaccination, while 23.9% had a positive opinion. Further, in order to evaluate the aforementioned analysis, the machine learning pipeline process of model evaluation is also performed. This process includes a split of dataset into training and testing, followed by determining various evaluation parameters including confusion matrix, precision, recall and F1-score. The accuracy of 97.1% depicts the outperformance of the model.

Place du pédopsychiatre auprès de l’enfant négligé

Neglect is the most common form of child abuse. It can also have the most serious impact on a child's development, with an increased and accompanying risk of the emergence of psychiatric disorders from adolescence to adulthood. Child neglect is under-recognized today, due to a lack of training for professionals, the orientation of child psychiatry, and difficulties in understanding what this vague concept refers to. After proposing definitions of neglect, its characteristics, and its effects, we present the possible actions of the child psychiatrist in the ecosystem of the neglected child. Neglect is neither a legal nor a medical term. It is, however, used by doctors and social workers, with a loose definition as the absence of appropriate care for a child's development. Neglect is multifactorial. The French consensus approach to the basic needs of the child has highlighted a meta-need for security, emphasizing attachment and the particular qualities of the caregiver. In light of this report, we understand that affective or emotional neglect is the most problematic form of neglect. The effects of neglect are early, depending on the child's age. They can manifest as developmental delays, sleep disorders, tonus disorders in infants, intellectual disorders, and various internalized and externalized disorders in adolescence. Mortality and morbidity are increased in cases of neglect, and developmental sequelae have been described. Neglect has a greater impact on development than physical abuse. The child psychiatrist can take three types of action to treat the neglected child. Firstly, he or she must identify neglect and alert the appropriate instances so as to protect the child. Identification involves being aware of indicators of neglect and a particular clinical pattern that varies according to age, requiring the exploration of the different lines of development. Three clinical patterns seem to be linked to extreme neglect: anaclitic depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, particularly complex developmental trauma, and attachment disorders. When faced with symptoms suggestive of neglect, the child psychiatrist should try to rule out a sensory or neurodevelopmental cause, sometimes seeking the advice of a specialist. He or she will observe the child's behavior alone and with his or her parents, as well as parent-child relationships, and will consider the child outside the family microsystem in an ecosystemic approach. The child psychiatrist can use available standardized tools that explore the various dimensions of neglect. This multi-consultation assessment should not delay the child psychiatrist's initial actions, given the narrow developmental windows. In particular, the child psychiatrist may be required to report the child's situation to the administrative and judicial authorities. The care provided to the neglected child will then take place within the child's own ecosystem. Interventions must be early, participative and in partnership with social services, educators, and staff at the placement site. Care will seek to compensate for the negative developmental effects of neglect, in order to correct the child's developmental trajectory. It must take into account the child's psychopathology. Psychotherapy, the framework of which will need to be adapted, will help the child to assume ownership of his or her history. Child psychiatrists can also take part in innovative initiatives to help children at risk, such as mobile teams. The final action to be developed by the trained child psychiatrist is preventative. It is important that child psychiatrists be informed and trained to deal with neglect and its effects. Today's neglected children will be tomorrow's adults with the most psychiatric disorders.
