The number of children living in institutions is staggering. Existing knowledge of individual and group dynamics in insti tutional treatment is not being applied. Children must not be pushed from one foster home to another before being placed in an institution. Institutional placement must cease to be con sidered "a last resort"; it must be recognized as an appropriate treatment situation for certain children. Institutions must em phasize the living situation as much as clinical services and must provide for treatment and healthy growth development.

Institutional Conflict

Miss S.G. is now 22 years old. Rejected by her entourage and by several foster home and adolescent institutions because of her hetero-aggressiveness, her death threats since she was 13 years old and her various suicide attempts, she was hospitalised in our service for adults in 2006 in order to no longer be able to leave. at the hospital, this young woman of slightly limited intellectually and a history of abandonment became a first-class aggressor, creating upheaval throughout the service.Initially, she became aggressive towards patients at the slightest frustration and despite the reinforcement present, finally proceeded to attacking caregivers and the service's referring doctor. Her long stay in the service allowed her to divide the team. the escalation of her violent behaviour and the attack on the doctor finally led us to direct her to the specialised service for difficult patients, but at what price?!The event and the exhausting care of this difficult patient provoked a deep institutional conflict that we have resolved with difficulty. We will present our thoughts on the limits of our role as carers in the care of border-line violent subjects who do not accept the care protocols. We esteem that the collaboration with other educational structures other than psychiatry is important for the management of these difficult clinical cases.The departure of the patient to the specialised service allowed us to take a step back to obtain better cohesion and change her care protocol on her return.

I.I. Betskoy owe their appearance to the Orphanages in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The project for the construction of the Moscow Orphanage for 8000 children was drawn up by I.I. Betsky in 1763, planning a new educational institution for Russia, he set himself the main task - to save the children of low-income families and illegitimate children who "are born in extreme poverty, are abandoned by their parents and are betrayed to blind chance." In his note, signed on August 26, 1763, he asked the Empress to allocate a place in the center of Moscow, the so-called "Garnet Dvor", to build a house. By the hand of Catherine II, it is inscribed "Be according to this." The report by I.I. Betskoy consisted of 6 chapters: On the chiefs and servants of the orphanage; about babies accepted to the foster home; about a hospital for poor women in childbirth; about the amount required for this institution; about rewarding and punishment; on the privileges of an educational institution.

High Level

Of 173 patients with myelodysplasia followed in the Birth Defects Center at University Hospital between 1968 and 1972, 30 (17%) have been placed outside their natural families for temporary or long-term care. Only one has been adopted and five have been institutionalized; the remainder have been in foster home care. High level paralysis, mental retardation, and lower socioeconomic status correlate positively with placement. In this series, gender was not a contributory factor. An initial "hopeless" prognosis and/or selection for "no treatment" were decisions often made prior to referral to this center but were highly correlated to placement. Considering the multiple medical, emotional, and economic problems facing these families, relinquishment of custody should be anticipated in a significant percentage of cases. To date, placement outside the natural family has been viewed primarily as abandonment or as an emergency solution to a crisis. Long-term follow-up study of this group of children may indicate that transfer of custody can be a positive therapeutic alternative for the child and his family.

The Impact

Previous reports of child maltreatment Sequelae have not systematically examined the effects of societal intervention. A historical cohort study has been undertaken to examine the impact of one intervention, foster care, on the subsequent development of juvenile delinquency among child victims. One hundred fourteen foster children, aged 11 to 18 years, in foster care for three or more years, and who were in foster care as a result of maltreatment were studied. A comparison cohort was composed of 106 victims of maltreatment who were left in their family home; these children were similar to the children in foster care with regard to age, race, sex, and year of diagnosis. Cohort differences in maternal education, type of abuse, history of prior maltreatment, sex, and race were controlled in the analysis. Foster children committed 0.050 crimes per person-year after age 11 years; home care children committed 0.059 crimes per person-year after age 11 years (P > .2). Foster children were more likely to have committed criminal assault. Among foster children, increased number of foster home placements correlated with increased number of delinquency convictions. Overall, there appears to be no support for the idea that foster care is responsible for a significant portion of later problems encountered by victims of maltreatment.

Home Placement

Need for a foster home placement program for handicapped children in an urban area was demonstrated by sending a questionnaire to hospitals and convalescent homes, and by careful review of certain children whose inpatient care was being paid for by the official Crippled Children Program. The outstanding fact was that a significant number of handicapped children were being retained in institutions for social, and not medical, reasons. Agreement was reached among social agencies that a co-ordinated community program for foster home placement of handicapped children was necessary but a definitive method was not evolved nor were adequate funds secured to finance costs.
