14.1. Press coverage of the NPM’s reports published in 2016 At first, the media paid the most attention to the Zita Home for Children with Special Needs because of its issues of over-crowdedness, violence between children, drug problems, and the isolation period; later, in connection with my report on the Cseppkõ children��s home, the media revisited my report on the Zita children’s home in the context of child prostitution. The press reports on the Home for Children with Special Needs and the Home for Children with Disabilities of the Károlyi István Children’s Center are rather mixed up; they keep on referring to my report on the Zita Home for Children with Special Needs. In connection with the home for children with special needs, the media dwelled on the topic of aggressive children at great length, pointing out that the personnel had not been prepared for it. Press reports also often mentioned that the staff members’ qualifications were not adequate for the nature and challenges of their work, and they did not have proper qualifications. The press reports also cited my report’s findings as regards high staff turnover in the institution. They also pointed out that the records were not transparent, isolation and separation were applied in violation of the relevant legal regulations. They also mentioned that children received sedatives on the nurses’ recommendation and that the guardians lacked any sense of responsibility. In connection with the Cseppkõ Children’s Home, in addition to the aforementioned issues of child protection, a TV report also raised the issue of the proper moral and financial appreciation of persons working in children’s homes. The press reports also mentioned that the institution’s staff members had hindered the NPM’s on-site inspection, pointing out that they had taken away the children from the institution for the time of the inspection. Several media platforms reported the fact uncovered by the NPM, that there were actually three different children’s homes on the same premises, which constitutes an infringement of the prevailing legal regulations. The press also covered judicially uncontrolled deprivation of liberty, failure to report child prostitution, and sexual and physical abuse among children. There was a report mentioning the fact uncovered by the NPM that fighting and vandalism in the children’s home had reached a point when the police’s involvement had become necessary. Parts of the content of my report on the assisted living center for the elderly in Pécel were also published in the electronic media. In connection with this report, the media also paid attention to the personnel, pointing out that they are overworked, and the tense atmosphere among them. Furthermore, issues of hygiene, lack of barrier-free access, generally poor conditions, apathy among the residents, the absence of leisure activities, and hospitalization were also covered in the press. In the press reports on police holding facilities, special emphasis was laid on the deficiencies of video monitoring, the lack of adequate living 103
