You swear to tell the truth or why should Lies be made criminal?
Abstract: Lie is one of the oldest сrimes known to man. Unfortunately, it exists as long as there is humanity. The Danger and irregularity of lies are fixed, perhaps, in all the scriptures of different religions — they all express prohibiting the act of lying. In addition to the prohibition of religious, moral and ethical, certain forms of falsehood are also prohibited under the threat of criminal punishment. Establishment of criminal liability for any act always requires thorough research, because the prohibition of certain acts described in the law without the need and social conditioning, will only harm the public relations, rather than protect them.
Criminal ban should be based primarily on the objective needs of society in public relations protection. Marx writes confidently: “The legislator must regard himself as a scientist. He does not make laws, he does not invent them, he only formulates them, he enunciates the inner laws of spiritual relationships”[1]. Despite the fact that this statement is debatable in relation to lies we cannot disagree with that. N.D.Sergeevsky also noted that the offender does not violate the criminal law, the perpetrator does not know all these articles - they violate known bans. The purpose of this article is to bring out reasons why certain forms of lies are punishable in Russia, the U.S.A and continental European countries.

The child deprived of parental care - between institutions, foster families and personal desire.
Abstract: In Bulgaria accelerated process of removal of children from traditional large institutions. Still ongoing controversy "for" or "against" the process. Posts in the public space speak specialists, representatives of the public, journalists, etc. But no attempt was made to seek the views of children to be taken from the institutions. For this reason, and to develop my Master's thesis on the foster family conducted a survey among such children - children deprived of parental care. The study was realized by two focus groups. They involved a total of 61 participating children between 14 and 18. The choice of age (14-18.) Is connected with the fact that they go in a group of juveniles and are closer to adulthood - age, which will themselves to make decisions. The conclusions and generalizations that follow from the investigation into the two houses consist mainly of the following: Children do not accept ourselves as a country in solving their own destiny and future, leading to both lower success of the accommodation and to activate the child's specific mental mechanisms; placement in an alternative form of family is the result of roughly removal from the family.

Some problems in social work related to children at risk placed in children's homes
Abstract: Homes for children deprived of parental care, provide care and social services in the upbringing and education of children from 3 to 18 years. Placement in homes for raising and education of children deprived of parental care, as a protection measure is carried out only in cases where they have exhausted the possibilities for leaving the child in a family environment. Institutionalized children show deficits are due to the unusual environment. As a consequence of institutional care can lead to physical disabilities and intellectual disabilities. The specific experiences of the author from Home "Clover" - c. Shumen, there are housed some wonderful children. Despite his difficult fate, they were able to meet people with a smile every day. But it is no secret that the best professionals and social workers are there, they can not replace parental care. The solution of the existing problems in children in homes, could be the following: a change in the methodology for working with these children. This methodology should stimulate the implementation of activities with the children that will prepare them for real life outside the home. And Activities through which to acquire skills that will be needed for life outside the home.

Social issues of the children - refugees
Abstract: Among European countries undergoing refugee pressures and Bulgaria. Chaast of the refugees are children. In the first half of 2015 over 300 children have sought protection in Bulgaria only for the month of January, According to the State Agency for Refugees. Unofficial estimates are between 1,000 refugee children centers. But the country lacks adequate procedures for children - refugees who come here. According to international requirements cases of unaccompanied refugee children should be treated completely differently from those of everyone else. Unaccompanied children - migrants should be appointed guardian to protect their interests. According to the Committee, the work of the guardian is much wider than that of a legal representative. The lack of such leads to a lack of access to social, educational and other services in the country. Moreover, children - refugees are subjected to various stressful situations that follow the new socio-cultural environment or the difficulties that accompany their stay in the host environment.
