Abstract
The article analyzes the Soviet legal acts of the 1940–1950-s that regulated the creation and operation of children’s rooms of the militia. The Soviet period of law-making was not exemplary in terms of legal, social or humanitarian resolution of the problem of child homeland, but was an example of an active, planned state policy in the field of combating this social phenomenon. Many Soviet approaches to solving this problem have also survived to this day and accordingly require reform and even rejection of them. The systematization of union and republican legislation in the area of countering and combating childhood homelessness and neglect in the post-war decade is carried out. On the basis of archival documents, statistics are provided on the creation of children’s rooms in the Ukrainian SSR and their practical effectiveness. It was argued that the duties of a district policeman were: 1) to identify places of gatherings and overnight (napkins) of homeless and neglected children and, when they were discovered, to take measures to detain them and to bring to justice the holders of children’s dreams; 2) to detain and send to the police station homeless people, found at their area both on the streets and in the front rooms, entrances of houses, empty sheds, on boulevards, etc.; 3) to detain and send to the police station all children and teenagers who were engaged in vagrancy and speculation; 4) to identify and establish relatives of homeless children who are bully and report them immediately to the head of the police department (department). Children’s rooms of the militia are considered as an intermediate link between the juvenile and the children’s adopter-distributor or parents. The primary responsibility for the implementation of this work was laid by the authorized police officers. For more successful work on the detection and prevention of child homelessness and neglect, district police officers had the right to involve public representatives in the form of members of the militia brigades, members of the Komsomol organizations, pedagogical teams, etc. They created special brigades for detention during raids on the streets, in places of public use (clubs, cinemas, parks, etc.) homeless and neglected children; for duty in the children’s rooms of the police, to be present at the interview of the detained children, to accompany the detained children at the place of residence (if the address is established). The argument is based on the fact that the children’s rooms were the storage of primary information about detained homeless and neglected juveniles. Police officers and NGO activists worked closely with the children’s room workers of the militia, where they were led to conduct a poll after the detention. Here, detained homeless or unscrupulous children could not be more than 6 hours, during which the employee of the children’s room of the police had to find out all the necessary information about the child, parents (guardians), place of residence, training, etc. In general, children’s rooms of the police also played a prominent role in the elimination of child homelessness and homelessness. They were the first link between the juvenile and the children’s adopter-distributor or parents and were the storage media of the primary information about the detained homeless and neglected juveniles.
