Fifth day of treatment for the boy (3) from Zadar: More surgeries await him, the work of social services is being checked

A three-year-old boy from Zadar has been receiving treatment at the Children's Hospital in Klaićevo for five days, with new surgeries expected in the coming week as part of his ongoing care for burns. Members of the extended family have reportedly warned staff at the Social Welfare Agency about the need for increased supervision of the child’s mother. The agency confirmed that they are required to act urgently if there are reports of harm to children, including immediate field visits and intervention if necessary. An extraordinary oversight of the work of the Zadar office of the Social Welfare Agency is now underway. Experts emphasize the importance of timely intervention and the role of social services in protecting children, especially those under school age. This case comes amid broader concerns about the capacity and effectiveness of Croatia's social welfare system, with calls for improved measures and more resources.

President of the Association of Social Workers: The system works, but it needs to be relieved

Štefica Karačić, predsjednica Hrvatske udruge socijalnih radnika, komentirala je slučaj trogodišnjeg dječaka koji je teško stradao u požaru u Zadru, gdje je ostao sam u stanu. Nije slažuća se s tvrdnjama da sustav socijalne skrbi ne funkcionira, već smatra da treba rasteretiti određene funkcije sustava i prebaciti ih drugim institucijama. Nije priznala da je sustav prepoznat problem u ovoj situaciji, a umjesto toga naglasila je važnost odgovornosti roditelja i potrebu za bržim intervencijama u slučajevima kada je život djeteta ugrožen. Također je napomenula da se često dolazi do kasnjenja u dobivanju informacija o problemima u obitelji, što može utjecati na brzinu reagiranja.

Bias read (Center): Iako se radi o politički kontroverznim temama poput socijalne skrbi, članak ne pokazuje jasnu stranu. Karačić, kao predstavnica organizacije, izlaže stajališta svoje institucije bez jasno izraženog političkog slanja. Učinjeno je pokušaj balansiranja različitih perspektiva, posebno u pogledu odgovorn

Štefica Karačić on the case of the injured three-year-old: The social welfare system is functioning

Štefica Karačić, predsjednica Hrvatske udruge socijalnih radnika, komentirala je slučaj trogodišnjeg dječaka koji je teško stradao u požaru u stanu u kojem je bio sam. Nastojala je objasniti funkcionalnost sustava socijalne skrbi, priznavavši da treba rasteretiti neke njegove funkcije drugim institucijama. Pominjala je da je obitelji dječaka izrečena mjera obiteljsko-pravne zaštite, što ukazuje na prethodnu procjenu dobrobiti djeteta. Napomenula je da je veliki propust roditelja što je dijete ostavljeno same, a pitanje odgovornosti i sigurnosti djeteta u obitelji ostaje otvoreno. Također je naglasila da sustav često prepoznaje probleme kasnije i da se u nekim slučajevima primjenjuju blaže mjere prije izdvajanja djeteta iz obitelji.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced discussion of the social welfare system's role in child protection cases, citing both its functionality and areas needing improvement. While the topic is politically sensitive, the framing remains neutral, focusing on institutional processes rather than taking a clear
