Russia`s 300,000 children suffered from violence over 36 months.

MOSCOW, September 11 (Itar-Tass) -- In Russia today there is no
coherent program of effective child protection, nor is there a single body
responsible for the prevention of juvenile crime and abuse against
children, Prosecutor-General Yuri Chaika said at a coordination meeting of
law enforcement agencies on the issue of crimes against minors.
"Left without proper supervision and recreational activities,
thousands of children in Russia suffer from violence (118,000 in 2008,
108,000 in 2009, and 53,000 in the first half of 2010), Chaika said.
As a result of these crimes more than 1,900 children died in 2008,
1,600 in 2008, and more than 700 in the first half of 2010.
Chaika expressed his criticism over the work being done by police to
investigate the cases of missing kids.
"Belated measures to search for missing teenagers and bad detective
work are to blame for a situation in which every tenth missing child
remains unaccounted for. At the beginning of 2010 there were nearly 3,000
minors on the wanted list," Chaika said.
According to the prosecutor-general every third offense against minors
remained unsolved (32,000 of the 100,000) and one in four was a serious
crime.
Chaika called for strengthening the work of detective services to
search for missing children, as well as forming a unified database of
street children and to pool efforts with the custodial authorities to
identify dysfunctional families.
What makes the situation still worse, Chaika said, is outdated
legislation. The commissions for juvenile affairs are guided by a
regulation adopted more than 40 years ago, which is hopelessly irrelevant.
