Brazzil

....is Brazil teaching to these nations....HOW TO PUT CHILDREN AT WORK ???????
Has Brazil NOT millions of children labor, uneducated, street children, and without healthcare ????

Is Brazil helping other nations....because you cannot handle anymore your own problems ?

Or NOT enough budget for your own children....and thus you ask financing to wealthier nations for caring the OTHER nations
children ??????

Clean your own mess....FIRST.....AND then only ...help the other nations BUT.....WITH YOUR OWN MONEY !!!!!!!!!

A joke these Brazilians ! A shame these brazilians ! A tragedy....these brazilians !

You are simply ridiculous. Trying to destroy the image of Brazil at all costs without any regard to ethics (this is an unfamiliar word to people like you). I am glad to see at last something good on this site.

Humanity is only one

good ol fashion ENEMA!

It is exactly the opposite !
I live in a developped country. Here we care for our people even illegal foreigners.

Brazil is like a mother who prefers to care for others children.....instead of caring FIRST for her own children !
That is why you have so many.....ORPHANAGES.....financed by PRIVATE MONEY via NGO's..... AND NOT GOVERNMENT MONEY.....lacking of course.....as spent/taken/stolen by your politicians !


AND IF I AM WRONG......please demonstrate it !
In my country NO NGO's or Association or whatever manages Orphanages. Not only we have very very few orphanages....but they are totally under the government budgets, contrary to Brazil !!!!!!!!

You do just the same with your US$ 50 billion annual agricultural exports.....while you have tens of millions people under nourrished and millions in hunger !!!!!!!

And as to your Bolsa Familia, if you went to basic school, please just figure out that it represents LESS than 0,50 Reais per day for each of the 45 millions people entitled to the program.
And Lula is proud that with such a " BIG" amount, millions of people can have 3 decent meals.....A DAY !!!!!!!!!!

AND OF COURSE, your politicians are within the best paid....IN THE WORLD ! Even well before.....their next big salary7perks increase.....very shortly !!!!!!

Conclusion : worse than sub humans, the NO HUMANS are the Brazilians....NOT ME !!!!!!

but the image of Brazil is well known all over the world for.....

- corruption
- impunity (just read the other news...today)
- crimes
- violence
- insecurity
- dirty cities
- injustice
- deaths squads
- slums
- bureaucracy
- red tape
- milllions of children labor
- slaves
- one of the world worst wealth inequality
- NO or Poor education
- police crimes
- very poor infrastructure


Are you so sure that it is CH.C. who gives a bad image of your country ? Then I suggest you to re-read the thousands of articles in this site and the millions of others...written everywhere !!!!!

And if by any chance you find a positive article on the above subjects......please publish it/them...here !
Not propagandas articles....but articles with facts, details and numbers !!!!!

Please dont quote me badly : I do not criticize the Pastoral a Criança BUT YOUR GOVERNMENT !!!!!

here is a statement....not by me :
" Close to 19 million adult Brazilians have become tired of waiting for government help and have resolved to work
themselves for the needy population."

For your info only, "normally" every registered non-profit organisation should publish their annual report. Curious but
not published in their site by Pastoral a Criança. Also to give you an idea of their budget, it was US$ 7 millions in 2001.
Most probably bigger by now, BUT doubtful they seriously care for 2 millions children on an ANNUAL basis even if volunteers are not paid.

As to the image of Brazil that you accuse me of clouding, here is a report by a very large Internationally known NGO (not by me) :

" - Extra-judicial and summary executions by the police, excessive use of force and killings by "death squads";
- The widespread and systematic use of torture as a means of punishment, investigation, and method of extortion.
- Cruel, inhuman or degrading conditions, severe overcrowding and deaths in custody in prisons, detention centres and police stations.
- Killings, attacks, threats and harassment of those fighting for their right to land, including landless activists and indigenous peoples.
- Human rights defenders suffer harassment and threats. Some also suffer attacks and killings. "


NOW ....tell me where I was wrong ...on what I wrote earlier !!!!!!!!!! Or did I, unfortunately, described the reality of your country ????????

Here is a sad Brazilian reality, not written by me, but in an article published on THIS site January 27, 2005 :
(No doubt you are against sex tourism....but what about LOCAL children abused sexually....in BRAZIL....BY BRAZILIANS ?)

"Around 47% of the Brazilian cities in which child and adolescent sexual abuse exists for commercial purposes are small in size, with populations between 20 thousand and 100 thousand inhabitants.
A study released yesterday, January 26, by the Special Secretariat of Human Rights identified the problem in 937 municipalities.
The study considered four activities forms of commercial sexual exploitation: prostitution, trafficking of children and adolescents, pornography, and sexual tourism.
The study was done in partnership with the University of Brasília (UnB) and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF).
According to the coordinator of the study, Maria Lúcia Leal, who is a researcher at the UnB, the number of municipalities may be even greater.
The study reveals, for example, that actions should concentrate on the Northeast, where 32% of the cities in which sexual exploration occurs are located.
Pernambuco is the state with the largest number of municipalities in which this problem exists in the Northeast: 70, of the regional total of 298. The Southeast has the second highest percentage: 25.7%.
The secretary of Human Rights, Minister Nilmário Miranda, said that the goal is to halve these numbers by 2006. The study does not indicate the number of victims.
"What is important for us is to speak not in numbers but about what we are doing to reverse this situation. If there are 100 thousand, it's monstrous; if there are 50 thousand or 30 thousand, it's still monstrous," the Minister affirmed.
"The idea of a child being sexually exploited is intolerable," Miranda emphasized.
The study analyzed as well the programs and policies that exist in the country. At the federal level, five Ministries administer 13 projects that deal with the problem directly or indirectly.
Of these, the Family Grant is the one with the widest reach, since it is present in 91.6% of the municipalities.
Programs in the area of housing, education, health, sports, and elimination of child labor are also listed as actions to combat child and adolescent sexual exploitation.
"The main problem at present has to do not only with impunity but also with poverty and inequality," Leal explained.
169 non-governmental organizations that work in this area were also identified.
Leal pointed out that both the government's programs and the efforts of organized civil society are still predominately of a welfare nature. "


Finally : how much you bet that contrary to what Nilmário Miranda said, that in 2006 the numbers have NOT BEEN HALVED ????

You are the essence of a pure IDIOT!

Sadly there's much more "child fetish" in the USA than in Brasil. I worry everyday about that since I have a kid and live in the US. The society is very sexually repressed causing men to look into crazy stuff like that. A lot of travel to Brasil to have sex with children, they even have travel agencies that arrange the trips for them. The human trafficking/child prostitution business is booming, these people have found out that drugs you can only sell it once but a child or a woman, you can sell it over and over it again.
I am glad that Brasil is doing something to help poor children. One day, upon returned to Brasil, I only hope I have the monetary resources to the same. This topic shouldn't turn into a fight about who is better, we all should be glad that at least someone care enough for this children and instead of arguing go out there and play your part...

PEACE!!!

Brazil is like a mother who prefers to care for others children.....instead of caring FIRST for her own children !
That is why you have so many.....ORPHANAGES.....financed by PRIVATE MONEY via NGO's..... AND NOT GOVERNMENT MONEY.....lacking of course.....as spent/taken/stolen by your politicians !


AND IF I AM WRONG......please demonstrate it !
In my country NO NGO's or Association or whatever manages Orphanages. Not only we have very very few orphanages....but they are totally under the government budgets, contrary to Brazil !!!!!!!!

Last semester in one of my college classes, I had to do a written critique on material I read on isolated and institutionalized children. It was interesting subject material and help open my eyes a little further to not only the situation of many children in this world regarding institutionalization, isolation, or be they feral kids but also to how socialization and not just nutrition effects brain development. My 5 page essay only utilized 3 literary sources but the process was beneficial for me.

According to one of the literary sources I came across - or perhaps used - I remember the author stating that Latin America actually had fairly good orphanages throughout many parts of her region, in fact the author stated that some or many of Latin American orphanages would be for all intents and purposes on par with developed countries. The author - as well as other sources I read - noted Eastern European former communist countries as some or the worst in the world for orphanages. Romania is particularly notorious. In fact I would recommend watching (a heart breaking) film documentary by Edet Belzberg called Children Underground. I could type some of the quotes regarding Romania I have within my essay (I still have my essay and am looking at it right now) but that would be to long - but I assure one that the conditions are quite horrendous and seem like something apocalyptic. But here is a link to a recent story regarding present day Russia: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200...ged_babies

Finally, it should be added, that scientific research on human brain development has been helped in great strides by the scientific study of a few notable cases of feral or isolated children outside of Brazil. Two major cases studies in fact where done within France and the United States. Jean Marc Gaspard Itard's work with Victor "The Wild Boy of Aveyron" in the 1800's, and the professionals that studied the young rescued girl named Genie who had been kept isolated in a Los Angeles home in the 1960's.

Voice of reason and not just face of beauty. Yes, imagine what progress humanity could make across the world if these types of "wars" were fought instead of martial warfare of destruction and conquest. I mean humanity has the brain power, technology, and means from Asia, to Africa, to Europe, to Brazil and the United States to effectively make this world much more livable, healthy, and frankly enjoyable for children throughout the world.

as usual......you show your degree of education AND CULTURE AND BRAINS...by giving no argument or counter argument.....BECAUSE YOU HAVE NONE !
I suppose you have 1 feijado in your brain !

And all of my arguments.....have also been written on this site by Brazilians writers, NGO's reports, etc !!!!!

Of course everyone is idiot...even when it is Buarque, the presidential candidate, who wrote it who by the way was ex
Minister of education and also a state governor !!!!!

Guaranteed that with idiots like you Costinha, your country will never be a developped country.

To : e harmony
Yess you are right for many east europeans countries.But comparing them to developped countries.....you are dead wrong !
And your sources...is 1 source (1 author.... you wrote) not many sources ! .
Why dont you type in Google..... orphans Brazil....or orphanages Brazil....and you will find hundreds of different sources and articles.
And if your orphanages are so much cared by your authorities, why are so many fund raising charities with an Internet site ?????
Why dont you look at the photos published..and you will see by yourself....how orphans are NOT that much cared in Brazil ?

Quite strange that in my country 90 % of orphans are children....coming from other nations.
Quite strange that in my country orphanages dont raise money....since they are 100 % funded by our authorities.
Quite strange that in my country there are fund raising organizations...BUT for the benefit of children living abroad.
Quite strange that in Brazil, there is not enough money available from the government, but more than enough for your
politicians, within the best paid in the world, when your average country income is Reais 1050.- per month.
Quite strange that federal, state, state companies, state controlled companies, the blue collar workers, earn many times the country average income, while in developped countries they earn only around 1 to 1,5 times the national average !!!!!!

Simple maths should show you that when too much money is spent at the source of the government for their own maintenance, little is left for redistribution to the society ...by definition !
Thousands of articles have been written in this site and everywhere on that subject concerning Brazil !

If you wish, I can give you the exact details coming from your own federal agencies such as the IBGE and others.
The numbers are incredible...but true !

Just one example : At Petrobras....all workers are entitled to a monthly perk ONLY for lunches.....ABOVE...the minimum
monthly wages of Reais 350.- !

Your answer is as empty as your arguments and brain !
Did you go to the same school as Costinha or is he from your family ?

Where do you disagree on the above Human Rights NGO report ??????
Did they destroy the image of Brazil or did they report factual findings ?

And as to the idiot talking about sexual tourism, you better look at the definition of sexual toruism.
IT DOESNT MEAN sex with children.
And in Brazil you have millions and millions of whores who enter prostitution....without anyone help !
It is therefore quite laughable that Lula is against sexual tourism...but not against local citizens paying prostitutes, because what is the difference ? Foreigners can pay more ? Are Brazilians afraid that their cheap prostitutes will no longer be affordable to them ? Afraid of inflation ?
What do you think that 300 American soldiers in Irak, are doing during their military vacations ? They are in Rio and have a good time with your prostitutes !!!!!! Did you know that ? TRUE STORY !
Did they land there with a Brazilian travel agency ? I dont know but probably the word of mouth worked !

Since you invent stories like a junkie, why dont you specify your sources that there are travel agencies for sescual tourism....with children ?????? Please come up with a detailed answer !

And by the way I am from the EU not from the USA !!!!!!!!!

Laugh....laugh...laugh !

Ohhhhh yessssssss......here is the demonstration :
The United Nations estimates that as many as 500,000 Brazilian children could be the victims of child prostitution in the nation of 175 million, which has gaping wealth inequalities.

The UN found young girls selling themselves for sex for as little as 20 cents in Salvador, in Brazil’s poor north-east - a destination for foreign and Brazilian sex tourists.

As well as demanding prosecutions, the Congressional report recommends changes to Brazil’s sex crime laws, which in some cases are up to 80 years old.

Current laws say only women and girls can be victims of sexual abuse, not men or boys, according to do Rosario.

A loophole in one law allows men who have sex with girls to escape prosecution if the victim finds a "husband" and does not press charges, she said.



By the way...this article is dated 2004 ! Not so old ! Did you change the law...BY NOW...OR NOT YET ?????
IF YES.....someone should have the new law number and can publish it here !

Why dont you type in Google..... orphans Brazil....or orphanages Brazil....and you will find hundreds of different sources and articles.

Google for Google sake, is not acceptable in academic writing, consequently in any bibliography. It is acceptable however to utilize respected data bases. My point is your point is moot.

written by Ana P, 2007-02-02 00:34:48

Sadly there's much more "child fetish" in the USA than in Brasil.

Can you show us something a little more factually based than your own opinion???

A lot of travel to Brasil to have sex with children, they even have travel agencies that arrange the trips for them.

What an idiot. Yeah, there are all kinds of travel agencies that advertise..."7 Day/7 Night Sex With Children Vacation!!"



What idiots.

ooooohhhhh..... When your IQ rises to 28, sell.

Meanwhile, button down that flapping upper lip of yours, goofy, before I staple it to the ceiling and watch you spin around like a fart-powered ceiling fan.

What, teaching them to survive on the streets of Rio and Sao Paulo by teaching them to juggle, beg and steal? Providing ineffective and incompenet government schools where teachers are paid less than $500 a month. Kids shot in the streets execution style by so called "police" which are parmilitary squads. Isn't Brazil teaching kids how to sell drugs and shoot straight. Brazil does very, very little to help poor children, even after all the retoric by the most ignorant President ever to lead your country.

Oh, and those travel agencies that set up trips for child abusers and pedophiles...they are mostly from Europe (German and Italian perverts). Lufthansa has 2 flights a day into Recife, just for this purpose alone, flight of only men. Why don't you stop that?! You balless bunch of pathetic whiners. And Brazil is powerless to stop it...why? Government officals and local police are involved in the child sex trade in North Brazil, they work directly with the "travel agencie". If you have a kid in the US, he or she is much safer than on the streets of Copacabana or Salvador. The Governement hands out "it's a crime" pamplets at the big city airports to all tourists just to get more aid and to make the UN happy, nobody REALYY does anything about it, the worst part...no one really cares. "Brazil is doing something to help poor children" what a joke! You are a typical of the blind nationalistsic pathetic Brazilians that will defend your country by saying anything...you my friend are the problem!

LOL. I hope you are not American (USA), because ironically that statement would demonstrate your lack of knowledge of U.S. police science. The police force in the United States are a paramilitary force, with related arms, rank structure, and the methodology of defining an enemy. If you ever saw that U.S. reality show years back, that had former U.S. military special operation members from the 4 branches (that is excluding the Coast Guard) and police SWAT team or task force members you'll note U.S. police (not all of which had former military experience) were chosen and mixed in all the combat teams. The team predominately filled with L.A. SWAT team members and other city SWAT or "task force" members won two separate contests over the teams more predominately made up of former Navy Seals, Army Special Forces, Marine Force Recon, and former Air Force Combat Controls members. The two contests they won were 1) The CQB take down of a building and 2) a rural hostage rescue mission that required intercepting a convoy of trucks. (Of note: one of those Navy SEAL's that was on that show by the way, latter went over to U.S. occupied Iraq as part of private security firm based out of the U.S., he was killed over there in one of the most publicized events [back when they hung the burned and charred bodies up for camera view])

Justin...You don't have a clue. While US police do recieve traning in military tactics, these tactics are designed as HRT (Hostage Rescue Teams) SWAT and anti-terrorism purposes, so I thank God we have police that can react to threats of this nature as do most European countries, have you not been reading about the great job British police, trained and supported by the SAS have been doing rolling up terrorists before they strike, how many countless lives have they saved? This has nothing to do with the summary executions of poor children in the Favelas of Brazil. It's apples and oranges my friend and completly off subject. Your knowledge of "police science" is seriously outdated, tactics have evolved and yes, unfortunatly, police must have a degree of military training capable of defending us against an well armed domestic enemy, who will ultimatly strike again. So while I agree with your statement, that US Special Forces and activley involved with US domestic police forces, I don't agree that this is a bad thing.

Brazil's police on the other hand, practice a vigilante justice or summary mass killings at the command of the drug dealers who pay them to do so. In fact, Globo ran an article just last month on the increase in police killings in Brazil and the impunity with which Brazilian police murder its poorest citizens on a daily basis. This again, with the direction of drug dealers and land owners.

I'm afraid you don't have a clue. I have family with law enforcement background, my father is a retired federal agent and I have an uncle that was once a police officer who also killed someone in the line of duty before. Unlike federal law enforcement agencies (minus Federal Police) local and state police forces are considered paramilitary forces. They have uniforms, military rank structures, a chain of command, they carry firearms and they are trained in police academies that operate similar to military bootcamps (and if anyone has ever met a guy fresh out of police academy they'll no what I mean). The special tactical squads such as the SWAT teams are just the police forces "elite" units just like Navy SEAL's are part of the U.S. military elite units. And your posts sounds like someone that has never lived in an urban metropolitan in the United States because the local police forces employ their elite units in others means outside of hostage rescue or anit-terrorism and counter-terrorism. They also have units such as the gang squads who would frequently ride in unmarked cars, plain clothes, and jump out in ski masks with guns drawn.

Now, I'm sure many of Brazil's cities have problems with police but then I'm sure that problem has more than one layer to it, from police pay, cultures of corruption, to gangs in Brazil that frequently employ 12 year old children shooting at police and even innocent people. In the United States 12 year old kids shooting at police - if it has ever happened - is such a rarity to make it an oddity. In Brazil this fact of life is much more frequent and real. U.S. soldiers in Vietnam were not unknown to kill children and as well U.S. soldiers in Iraq are not unknown to rape young girls and murder their entire family or other unethical things. My point is Brazil has it's particular situation - when Americans are thrust into Southeast Asia or Southwest Asia under the pressures and cultures of those particular situations they operate in, they have shown to descend into questionable acts and even viscious crimes.

The vast majority of Brazilian children are not murdered by their police, tortured by them, or shot by them.


Oh... and I'm also Justin, I just accidentally typed my name in instead of e harmony.

Six Youngsters Massacred in Brazil, Again. Police Are Suspect
Written by José Wilson Miranda
Friday, 02 February 2007

My point is proven...how can any Brazilian say "Brazil takes care of it's poor children". My understanding of this crime was the victims where youths on their way to play some soccer.

Six youth, out of what population size in their age category in the city? If all or most children in Brazilian favelas were targeted and killed by Brazilian police would not the logic inherent in math dictate that either the favelas would shrink (if most children are killed) or eventually cease to be populated by humans (if all the children are killed [living adults die off])?

The article stated: "In East Timor, southeast Asia, 8,500 children are health-assisted by a group of volunteers. Their mothers receive guidance about caring for their kids, regarding feeding, oral hydration and vaccination, among others. When the children are malnourished, they receive a food product made out of natural nutrients. The actions follow the model developed by the Pastoral da Criança (Children's Pastoral), a community organization connected to the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB).

The Pastoral da Criança implements among impoverished communities an education project for the development of the children, whose methodology has already been exported to 16 countries.

The work is developed by volunteers, in general within the community itself, who guide pregnant women and mothers on breast feeding, oral hydration of children with salts, nutrition and hygiene.

In Brazil, over 270,000 volunteers aid two million children and 100,000 pregnant women. Abroad, the program has already reached Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique, in Africa, the Philippines and East Timor, in Asia, and 11 Latin-American countries."

Now isn't that a good thing? And it's related to nutritional health care and helping pregnant women, it is not an article on crimes committed by Brazilian police, so why attempt to reject the good quality work of all those sincere Brazilians to overstate the point their are certain numbers of brutal and corrupt police in Brazil that snuff the life out of children they believe to be rouges. Now I realize those children lives matter also - especially if they have not or are not harming police or anyone else - but this article was not about police crimes in Brazil.

Aren't you ever tired of repeating the same stories? What do you expect me to do, to go into a "Google challenge" with you, to know who can dig out more bad news about each other's country?

Stop this "caring" bulls**t, Switzerland is also a place for european gangs of human traffickers to have a good business by selling women. Be proud of that.

You are a single-celled amoeba!

I think that pimple on your ass turned out to be a brain tumor. Don't Breed!

I thought that "single cell" amoebas reproduced asexually. So isn´t it a little over the top and inaccurate to say, "Don´t Breed!"?

we need to shaw Brasil that they don't need to kill every insurgence,here is a company with some great produtcs to do just that,stop and knock down criminals like a sack of potatoes..send the police officials this
