The children in one group said that they did not like it when official visitors come to the institution and took photos of them: ‘This is disgusting, they only take photos, they do not talk to us, I was in a holiday and saw our photos on Facebook, this is shameful my friend’. (M14-17/1:WEOG) d. Religion For the most part, the children’s religious needs were met. For some, this involved praying at night with the teachers as no religious leader was provided (LAC). For others, a chaplain would visit the facility on a regular basis. ‘They pray every morning, have access to the books of their religion and perform cultural-religious acts’. (M/18-21/1:LAC) ‘St Mary’s comes every second Sunday’. (M/17/1:WEOG) Some felt that the only place they were respected was in their place of worship. ‘They (police officers) would not enter while we were inside’. (M/17/3:WEOG) Conversely, other children reported that their religious needs were either not respected at all or only sporadically. One boy felt that he was being ‘forced to pray’ (M/12-15/6:APG) while another reported:‘They take us to church once every 7-8 months’. (M/17/1:EEG) 3.3 Protection a. Physical Environment The vast majority of children stated they did not feel safe, especially when they made mistakes or when they fight with each other. ‘No. I felt threatened by the staff of the orphanage.’ (M/F/18/4:EEG) Others reported feeling safe and under no threat of violence, but rather described the stress that accompanied their overall experience of detention. ’We are safe here physically, everything is well, but we have stress all time because every minute have a dream that is being out of here with my families and friends’.
