Who are Out-of-Family Children?

All those minors who are orphans or separated from their biological family who temporary live in residential facilities or in foster-family conditions and who therefore run the risk of social exclusion.

The OFC condition must be a temporary condition and this provisional status should be granted by placing the minor in a stable family context as soon as possible.

But this is not always the case: care and protection services thought to be temporary are often modified by the system itself and transformed into ‘solutions' which do not fully meet the psycho-affective needs of the child.

The projects and researches of CHILDOUT.ORG derive from the need to get an in-depth analysis of the topic and to study its solutions in order to promote the right to a family for those who do not have one.
