ZAGREB, Nov 22 (Hina) - Croatia needs an ombudsman for the protection of children's rights who will control whether state institutions respect legal provisions in the protection of children, participants of a round-table conference
organised by the State Institute for the Protection of the Family, Maternity and Youth, said on Thursday. Parents, teachers and educators do not respect the rights of children, and state institutions which are supposed to protect them are endangering them even further, the participants stressed. They cited data by which the association for helping abused children "Brave Telephone" received 16 calls per week, and during the Children Protection Week, it received 97 calls.(hina) lml sb
