Children Deprived of Parental Care
Children around the world are often raised outside of a home environment and without the care of either biological or adopted parents. Without a parent as a natural advocate and protector, these children are particularly vulnerable.
Every child who is temporarily or permanently deprived of his or her family environment is entitled to special protection and assistance provided by the state. Children may be placed in institutions such as orphanages, group homes, foster family homes, relative placements, hospitals or other institutions charged with their care. Through these alternative care settings, the government must ensure to the maximum extent possible the survival and development of the child.
Ironically, these placements are often harmful to children. Many children face grossly substandard and over-crowded facilities, inadequate and at times inhumane care, physical and sexual abuse, cruel and degrading treatment, and life-threatening deprivation. Even in some institutions that are clean and provide adequate food, staff neglect children; babies are left to lie alone in cribs or small beds with no stimulation, play, or adult attention; adolescents are not provided the guidance and care needed to prepare for adulthood. Children and youth are often denied contact with extended family members and communities. Educational opportunities are frequently lacking and medical care abysmal. Denied the help and care of a natural family, many of these children and youth are further disadvantaged by systems that perpetuate abuse and neglect.
Human Rights Watch investigates the situation of children deprived of their family environment and seeks to make significant changes in the way children deprived of parental care are treated throughout the world.

Midget Queen

midget's name is karen ng,19. You can only call me shortie if ya name is tallie. I might be a midget but I'm no pushover and that's what make me a queen. My obsessions consists of shoes, bags, coats, great food. Currently i am addicted to peanut chocolates and coffee bean chocolates from Candy Empire and almond crunchy dark chocolate from Corduroy Candy. My primary interests are fashion, food, music. I am constantly looking for great food and probably the reason why i gained 5kgs and only lost 2. I hate writing emo entries and the girliest part of me is probably loving shopping for shoes (though i can only go on for max 2hrs) and have a great liking in rich and real good chocolates. maybe liking bubbles too coz looking at them gives people hopes. I think eating yucky food is so pointless like ieat said, " do not waste your calories on yucky food". My favourite colors are green, purple, brown and white. Which of these colors i prefer depends very much on my mood and the weather at that time.
People who u will see often on my blog:

This is my honeybiscuit nephew, Jacob.

This is tallie, Juan. Which i think our friendship is more of brotherhood than sisterhood.

This is my partner for good food hunt, Tang(though he would prefer people to call him Handsome.) Who gained more weight than me.

This is my grandpa who escaped to Australia from me as he failed to get my krispy kremes donuts, Andrew.
"don't... ...waste calories on yucky food ...wear what the whole world is wearing ...waste time watching movies that are not worth it at all ...listen to songs by artistes with zero singing talent "

Happy Tang.
Today is Tang Tank Thank's 21st birthday. To celebrate the day Tang turns 21 ( *cough* old *cough) i now dedicate this entry to him. To the 大胃王  Actually you are very lucky to meet me because I brought you to the world of music ( maybe more of the world of Eason Chen and Joey). Which i still have not decide if i regret it.  Because of your tendency to sing and replay the song again and again for DAYS till me (the person to tell you how nice this song is) get so sick of it T___T  K 歌之王 He sang this song again and again and again (6times?) alternating between chinese and cantonese version . The only person who sang this song for at least 5times in a session is Wee Li Juan. I believe if i were to go Kbox with the two of them, they will sing this song from 11am to 2pm. And i could only go "can sing other song already???"  sing till very 激动 But u are nice lah because I give a flying kick across your chin once and it was actually bleeding ( minorly lah) and u was not angry (phew).  Scared look. The person (with the exception of juan) who will do the stupidest things ever with me.  Like treating addidas as our playground T___T  Walking barefoot/my shoes in Giant  Carrying me up suddenly and ran into this water fountain T____T. Super drenched leh! i'm still sibeh tulan. Or playing at the water fountain with some kids at clarke quay causing two of us to be drenched and my shoes insoles to come out because of the water T____T  That time when we were cycling at East Coast then we saw some castle-making competition so we wanted to took a shortcut through the grass to take a look. Then you were looking Felicia Chin and Mark Li filming some variety show till you did not realise that I have stopped and almost crash into me T_____T and the whole crew turned to look at us including Felicia Chin and Mark Li yelling us to be careful wtf. i got to run in my heels onto those uneven grass to avoid kena filmed wtf. THEN after that the crew still asked me what happened while SOMEBODY quickly ran away with his bike wtf T___________T  Playing chai quan at marche and u guessed a 7 and a 40 wtf and i took a napkin and aimed at you. Horror of horrors it landed on the table in front of us which seated an auntie with her 2 sons , daughter and maid and the stupid boy kept laughing at me till so loud and even told the mother about me T_______T
When we were competing to see who could kick his/her slippers further at Sentosa and you kicked yours so vigorously that it flew into the bush and you got to run one foot bare to retrieve it HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
someone very smart said what iceskating no need gloves and in the end i had to share my left glove to huh huh huh who?? then look like two idiots liddat.
or that time you asked to spit my popcorn seeds as far as possible in the cinema then it landed into a woman's hair sitting in front of me wtf HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
because you never stop me from taking the yucky-tasting vegeterian sushi that looked interesting at ichiban when we both ate one each we regretted totally. Then i got to arrange the sushi properly and act like nothing happened and put it back wtf. someone quickly pulled me to pay to escape from the 案发现场 wtf We took a bus and alighted at a stop that was supposedly to be very need Mount Emily. But we walked around asking for directions for 30mins became all sweaty and tired in the end had to take a cab and realised it was not even close! At last we reached there and we realised it was not open for dinner yet still got 2+ hrs to dinner. So we waited there, to be safe we wanted to call to make reservations and they said they were closed that day for a private event! T_________T Went all the way to Escape because we had 2 free tix and there no panasonic, no pirate's ship, no round crazy rides and the only thing that made us happy is the Ben & Jerry's wtf. Chocolate buffet at FullertonWe experienced too many times when we almost die i mean from being too full.We set a record of eating 3 cakes, 1 hot chocolate, 1 bread puddings at chocolate factory.Our shock when 6 plates of monstrous serving size of onions booms, cheese sticks and forgot whats were served in front of two of us at Outback Steakhouse. but we finished it all the same.The worst worst experience is at Vibe, we were having the carnivore buffet almost almost really die.Other Worthy Mentioned almost death fullness: The Line-Chocolate buffet at Fullerton-Cherry Garden at The Oriental Paulener Our Donut factory experience.HAHAHAHHAHAHA Your J. CO experience HAHAHAHAHAH Mango Ice at 新旺 hong kong cafe.first time I see people everytime eat this ice when cold till shiver wtf.too many things lah.Happy 21.
