Greece child protection services 'disjointed and inadequate'
Successive governments suffer from structural inability to organise coherent system of child protection, experts say.

When two children from the small, remote Greek island of Leros were taken to one of the largest paediatric hospitals in Athens for a psychological evaluation, one of the country's rarely-talked-about problems was about to come to a head.

"I have seen cases where four-year-old kids were treated for sexually transmitted rectal HPV for over a year, and no investigation had been undertaken to determine how they got it."
