The link is to the story of Anna Guilia Camparini. At least in Italy these issues can be properly discussed unlike in the UK.
Why are babies born young? This sounds like an odd question. People would say "of course babies are born young". However, this goes to the core of the question of human (or animal) development. Why is it that as time passes people develop initially through puberty and then for women through menopause and more generally getting diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer, but most of the time babies start showing no signs of this. Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin...

A public information campaign on children from their families
Anna Julia Camparini
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights non-profit organization and the Facebook Group " Together for Stella , "with the support of the GESEF (Parents Separated from Children), have announced the launch of a public information campaign on children from their families in which a million leaflets will be printed and organized information tables throughout Italy to inform citizens on the story of Anna Julia and the other thousands of children from their families. The tables will be held in the cities of Padua, Ravenna, Vicenza, Verona, Milan, Florence, Rome, Bologna, Reggio Emilia, Genoa, Trento and Bolzano, but requests are coming from other moms and dads who want to help, such as in Naples and Turin. On the tables you can sign a petition calling for the reform of the juvenile court and social services.
Anna Julia was taken from parents in 2007 although they had a job, a house, they were not criminals, drug addicts or violent, and despite an excellent relationship with his daughter, on the sole basis of a report in which social services judged "dilapidated" their house. After a course of two years the services have changed their minds and asked that Anna Julia came home. But the court did not grant their request and their parents, were totally ignored, as an extreme act of protest, have decided to take her away by the institution (Who has seen? Has long dealt with the story). Then, in desperation, they took her away a second time, were arrested and there has been 7 months in prison for the sake of their daughter. Now it has even been made adoptable based on a psychiatrist's report of "350 pages" where parents and child have never been seen together. The parents' lawyer, Francesco Miraglia the Court of Modena, is appealing but in the meantime the child sees his parents from less than 17 months. To help Anna Julia has even created a facebook group to bring her home that already has more than 11,600 members http://www.facebook.com/groups/liberatestella .
But his is not the only case. Recall for example the cases of parents of Basingstoke where they had taken the children for an obscene drawing made by another child, the parents of Turin deemed too old, the mother of Trent accuditiva considered too, and so on. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In Italy some 32,000 children were estranged from their parents. In most cases the reason was "incapable and unfit educational methods" or "inability of parents to monitor their children." A parent in front of psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers, may find themselves accused of crimes never committed, based on subjective opinions as opinion proclaimed "doctor" or "scientific".
Because of the spread of these subtractions "superficial", were recently submitted several parliamentary questions from both political parties. We remind the senators Cristiano and Franco De Eccher Cardiello (PDL), Senator Julian Carlino and Senator Stephen Pedica (IDV), Senator Rita Bernardini (radicals), Mr Pier Paolo Zaccai (PDL) and many others. Mr Pier Paolo Zaccai is also organizing a conference to be held in Rome on November 30 which will be presented in 20 cases (one for each region) of malagiustizia child.
In addition to informing the public about daily injustices perpetrated against children and families because of the incompetence of social services from the point of view of the training function, the subjective nature of expert psychiatric opinions that are detrimental to the objective truth and a juvenile court established in the fascist period, which in fact does not respect the constitutional principles of due process and adversarial, the tables will be collected the signatures of our fellow citizens in favor of Bill 2844 to reform the juvenile court and social services.
