This 94 page report explores many aspects of the system of care for disabled children exposing the effects of lack of access to stimulation and attention, adequate nutrition, health and rehabilitation and the use of physical and chemical restraints to control behaviour which leads to physically and cognitively undeveloped children. The intentions of the Human Rights Watch is to expose these facts to the worldwide public to place pressure on officials to make change and have these childrens’ rights returned. The Human Rights Watch report is a reliable source as it is a well-known, respected organisation that uses its own primary sources at 10 different institutions to provide accurate and current statistics that can be used to support the rationale’s argument. The report does not appear to be bias as it credits the efforts that the Russian government has begun to make improvements. This report provides the organization’s recommendations for overcoming this human rights violation and also provides information on alternative strategies. This information can be further analyzed to find strength and weaknesses in alternative plan to highlight the effectiveness of the rationale.

This journal provided details into many non-government organisations (NGO) including ‘National Foundation for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NFPCC)’, ‘EveryChild’ and Christian organisation ‘CoMission’ revolutionising child welfare in parts of Russia. Conversely, Russian Government’s anti – western attitude led to the introduction of policies limiting funding, adoption and aid provided by international support. This peer reviewed journal is a credible source written by professionals from the distinguished American Orthopsychiatric Association in 2014, educating the public with current and accurate information from an objective perspective. This source offers many schemes and plans from both the government and NGO which is useful in devising the Rationale, presenting evidence of plans that were not
