IN PERSONS
– In December police arrested a Romanian and accused him of exploiting 9
Romani children, ages 6 to 14, by picking them up in a camp every morning and
forcing them to beg on the streets. Victims of trafficking
were usually lured to Western Europe with promises of a job, or sold by
relatives, friends, or acquaintances. They were then forced into
prostitution, laboring in restaurants or sweatshops, or begging in the street. Concluding Observations of the Committee on
the Rights of the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
31 January 2003 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/italy2003.html [accessed 14 February 2011] [43] The Committee
welcomes the adoption of Act 9/99, which extends the duration of compulsory
education from 8 to 10 years, and the various programs to improve teacher's
training, but remains concerned at the high rate of drop-out in upper
secondary education; the variations in educational outcomes for children
according to their cultural and socio-economic background, and to other
factors such as gender (more girls than boys do obtain a secondary education
diploma), disability and ethnic origin. Afghan minors come via Deutsche Presse-Agentur

of Naples lifestyle.timesofmalta.com/article.php?id=4215 [Last access date unavailable] These are children
who at first glance seem ok. They wear designer clothes, seem well fed and
give the impression of living a 'normal' life. However, they sprout out of
the most difficult backgrounds, experiencing an emotional deprivation, which
is far beyond what children should know. Their designer clothes are usually
stolen goods, they sell drugs to survive and at night go back home to broken
families. Msgr. John Patrick Carroll-Abbing, Boys' Towns of Anne Hanley, The Independent ( www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/mgr-john-patrick-carrollabbing-729222.html [accessed 2 June 2011] Wartime mercy

Crossing the Road
by Isabella Sandri is set in suburban Rome and
follows a few weeks in the life of Martina Curto
(Francesca Rallo), a 14-year-old girl drifting into
a life of crime. Susanna Curto (Cristina Donadio), Martina’s mother, works nights as a prostitute
and the brothel where she is employed is running drugs. Ali, the
brothel-keeper, is Susanna’s common-law husband and, as we later learn,
Martina’s real father. During the day Martina, who refuses to attend school,
and her boyfriend Sciu (Salvatore Grasso) wander
the streets picking pockets and stealing from shops.
Sciu spends most of his time away from home in an
abandoned warehouse, which he shares with other neglected or poor kids. All
