I came across a vivid and sad example of how outside parents resist improving the quality of life for their children. And how our country can't do anything about it (Head of the Department for the Prevention of Neglect and Juvenile Delinquency, Kirov District Social Insurance Clinical Center Branch, Novosibirsk, Yulia Valsenko - "Social and Humanitarian Knowledge", No. 5, 2026).
"Parents prone to alcoholism need comprehensive, medical and psychological assistance, and their children need integration into an active social environment. Children's participation in socially significant activities contributes to the prevention of deviant behavior and the development of positive personality traits.
According to data for 2024, 535 children from families in the Kirovsky district of Novosibirsk chose to stay at home with their parents as part of the summer health campaign. The main reason for the reluctance to have a summer vacation during the holidays (about 70%) is the denial of the need for a rural summer vacation for the children by the parents themselves.
According to statistics for 2025, the situation repeats itself: out of 535 children in the Kirov district of Novosibirsk, only 3.7% of the children were covered by holidays in the country for the above category of families as part of the summer health campaign."
