prohibits violence against children, and anyone who physically or
psychologically abuses a juvenile may receive a prison sentence of three
months to five years. However, abuse was rarely reported, and convictions
also were rare. Police reported 1,697 cases of the sexual exploitation of
children, 158 cases of child pornography, and 70 cases of child abandonment.
Schools did not have procedures to protect children from physical or
psychological abuse by teachers, and the teachers' work code provides legal
immunity from prosecution for corporal punishment in the classroom. Trafficking in children, primarily
for the purpose of sexual exploitation, was a problem. Concluding Observations Of The Committee On The Rights Of
The Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 4 October 2002 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/poland2002.html [accessed 19 December 2010] [48] While noting the increased
efforts of the State party to cooperate in regional programs to prevent
trafficking and repatriate victims, the Committee is nevertheless concerned
that Poland continues to be a country of origin, destination and transit for
children trafficked for sexual exploitation. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report on

VULNERABLE - Since
the border guards and police may regard trafficking victims as criminals who
have violated passport laws, victims were afraid to turn to officials for
help. Victims have no legal status, and there were no public resources
available to assist them. Victims usually were deported as soon as possible
to avoid any expenses connected with keeping them in detention. Trafficking in Children for Sexual Purposes ECPAT International Newsletters, Issue No : 33 1/December/2000 At one time this article had been archived and may

of Ministers adopted a document entitled "Report on the Situation of
Polish Families", which is seen by the authors of the pro-family policy
as a major contribution to the shaping of governmental policy. Violence in
the family is discussed in a sub-section on children and teenagers and
pertains mainly to child beating. Incest or sexual abuse in the family is not
discussed at all. In the authors' opinion, the only existing sexual abuse of
children occurs in child prostitution, and the abusers are mainly the
so-called sex tourists "particularly of German origin."
Characteristically, in discussing child prostitution, the report only
mentions girls, although it is a well known fact that the problem concerns
male teenagers as well. The Diagnosis [DOC] The Robinson Crusoe Foundation, August 29, 2005 www.childcentre.info/projects/institutions/poland/dbaFile12064.doc [accessed 11 July 2011] Young people raised in orphanages
are condemned to failure. They are
condemned by their low level of education, by their perceived helplessness
and by their lack of self-confidence. They are condemned by the financial
situation of orphanages struggling to survive, and which therefore do not
consider guiding their charges towards maturity and independence a priority.
