Mogilino
Mogilino is a village in Ruse Province, northern Bulgaria. It became well known internationally after several reports about the institution for children with physical and mental disabilities. In 2007, the BBC showed the film "Bulgaria's Abandoned Children".

The case of Mogilino resembles the campaign publicising the conditions in the Romanian orphanages in the early 1990s. Bulgaria has been criticised for having one of the highest numbers of children in state institutional care in the EU. On 30 January 2008 Bulgarian National Television presented its answer to the BBC documentary in the form of a documentary called ''Dom'' (House or Home). "It is not rig ...
