Stacey Dooley Investigates: Gypsy Kids Taken from Home

Hungary has more Roma gypsy kids in institutional care than any other EU country and is facing a potential crisis. Stacey Dooley meets some of the parents, kids and social workers on the frontline of Hungary's child protection system, as she investigates accusations by Roma families of widespread institutional racism in the Hungarian care system. Stacey questions if there is a genuine need for Roma children to be protected or if prejudice is driving the growing trend to take Roma kids from their families. Visiting some of Hungary's poorest communities, Stacey meets Roma gypsy families who are threatened with child removal and mothers who have recently lost their children, as well as spending time with the social workers charged with making the life-changing decision to remove children deemed at risk. Stacey meets staff and teenage residents in Hungary's children's homes where often over 70% of the residents are Roma gypsy kids
