Take a few moments and read this blog post from a study of 136 Romanian children in both government-run orphanages and high-quality foster care
"....The initial assessments found children in conditions so wrenching, Nelson said, that researchers had a rule that they wouldn’t cry in front of the children and sometimes had to excuse themselves to step out of the room.
Babies under age 1 or 2 spent their days lying on their backs, staring at the blank ceiling over their cribs, leading to a high prevalence of crossed eyes, which went away as they got older, became more active, and exercised their eye muscles.
Caregiver ratios were high, with one caregiver to 15 babies, and one caregiver to 20 to 25 toddlers. Conditions tended to be better at urban institutions, but in some rural institutions, Nelson said, children were chained to the beds for years on end.
“On the whole it was just breathtakingly awful,” Nelson said. “One of the eeriest things about these institutions is how quiet they are. Nobody’s crying.....Eight million orphaned and abandoned children live in government-run institutions, sometimes in horrific conditions that take a lasting physical and mental toll.  The number are increasing."
