In Krasnogorsk, they refused to give the child to blind parents

Ivan and Lily Cherenev very much wanted a child. We were preparing: we led a healthy lifestyle, we gave up alcohol. Both work, despite the disability in sight. We bought an apartment in a mortgage. In general, responsibly came to the point. And it happened: in late August, Lilia gave birth to a daughter, quite healthy, and most importantly - a sighted girl. And on the day of discharge, savagery happened - in the maternity hospital they declared that they could not give the child to the disabled family. After all, this can be regarded as leaving the child in danger. How will two blind people take care of the baby? Ivan and Lilia assured that they are absolutely capable that they will be helped by their grandmother. But the assurances were not enough. The maternity hospital insisted that my grandmother write a statement that she takes responsibility for the safety of the newborn on herself. Grandmother did not do this - in her opinion, it is humiliating and outrageous. They gave the child to Chereniev. True, after the intervention of the editor-in-chief of the radio of the All-Russian Society of the Blind. And Diana Gurtskaya, chairman of the Public Chamber's Commission for Family, Maternity and Childhood Support, asked the Prosecutor General to take the incident under control.A photo: Getty Images Organs about the situation, of course, reported. That in general is absolutely normal. After all, if there are fears for the fate of the child - why not control the situation? You can after all attach to the family a social worker who will help the parents. But to threaten the withdrawal of a girl from the family was not worth it. Well, a statement that offered to write to my grandmother. - this is nothing more than an attempt to cover your own rear, to the safety of the little one has nothing to do with it. In general, on the one hand, outrage and panic, on the other - rudeness. And somewhere in the middle of the child's interests, which the hospital worried, most likely, purely formally. Remember, how long have you heard that mother alcoholics refused to give the newborn? And after all from declassed parents with much greater probability it is possible to expect that the child will grow like grass in the field. It is curious that it happened soon after a similar case in America. There they were going to withdraw the child from a family where the parents had an IQ below the average. Officials justified their position by the fact that parents do not have the intelligence to raise a child. Add to this regularly appearing in the network of disputes: in order to adopt a child, you need to go through seven circles of bureaucratic hell, to prove your parental solvency. And in order to give birth, you just need to give birth. And no one cares anymore about your parental solvency. In the comments to this dispute, there will certainly be a couple of dozen soul-chilling stories about yazhmateryah.I here the idea of the exam on the parental "professionalism" ceases to seem so wild. How many publications in the media that marginalized parents abandoned children in winter in a frozen house without food. How many cases of neglected or even fatal diseases in children who simply did not find it necessary to show the doctor in time. One story with HIV-dissidents who treated the adoptive daughter with prayers, which is worth it. Maybe it's really worth introducing, say, certification of future parents? However, this idea will remain only at the level of the idea. And thank God. After all, birth control is a direct violation of constitutional human rights. Imagine only that you will be rotated under a microscope, studying whether you are worthy of having children. Is it humiliating? Certainly. Who is generally able to assess whether these particular men and women are worthy to be parents or not? Probably, no one. Do you think that tests for parental solvency are necessary?

The opinion is subjective, but sometimes one wants to forbid certain individuals to reproduce.
A license may not be necessary, but it would be worth organizing courses for future parents with the basics of psychology and an explanation of when it is necessary to run to the doctor.
If a person poses a direct threat to the safety of children, of course, he must be isolated from them.
Social services need to do their job: identify truly dysfunctional families and monitor them.
