My newborn baby is dead! Or even worse, someone kidnapped it, and the doctors and medical staff are silent.
This was the reality for thousands of young mothers between the 1970s and 1990s in Yugoslavia. But their story remained untold in the later chaos of the war and only reached the public in 2003 when a lady called Zorica Jovanovic actually won a case against the state of Serbia at the European Court of Human Rights because they failed to provide her with credible information about the fate of her son.
Many of the women were only informed about the death of their baby soon after birth; the bodies were allegedly cremated, so they never even had a chance to see their baby one last time.
Furthermore, if that were not disturbing enough, in many cases, only empty death certificates were provided, not stating the cause and time of death and with no autopsy reports. And in many cases, all signed by the same doctor.
In most of the cases, they stated that the bodies were cremated in the hospital, but it was later found through investigation that there was no crematorium on the site.
Many of the mothers did not give up the hope and are still hopeful that one day, maybe they can find their lost children.
If these events really took place, the motive is still unknown to this day. Money, illegal adoption, or even something more evil?
Similiar cases were also reported from:
Brazil, El Salvador, Spain, Philippines.
@MarioNawfal First, invest heavily in a country. Then, destroy it by dividing the people more than ever. Finally, take their resources. I wonder who would do something like this? 🇨🇳
@GigaBasedDad Also, most people are starving themselves to death through malnutrition by consuming way too many calories from processed foods at the same time. Subsidies in Big Agriculture need to be changed so that farmers can produce healthier foods.
@PervyPimp@BladeoftheS I live in the EU so i have some basic healthcare provided. The point is that owning/buying a car in Denmark is extremely expensive.
