MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Social Welfare and Development assured the public on Thursday, May 25, that the
Gentle Hands executive director Charity Graff earlier raised the concern that the children’s sudden pullout may “reactivate trauma” for those who had experienced abuse and felt “safe” in the facility. Gentle Hands did not disclose on record details of the living conditions of the children in the new facilities, saying that they “don’t want it to be our word against theirs.”
The children were originally meant to be removed from the facility on Monday evening, but Gentle Hands and the DSWD arrived at a compromise to postpone the pullout. CHR lawyers and special investigators were present on Monday evening, and in a dialogue between the DSWD and Gentle Hands on Tuesday morning.
