The tragic case of Alexandra, a 9-year-old girl from Galati, shocked public opinion after her mother was sentenced to 28 years and 4 months in prison for torture and murder. The girl was subjected to extreme abuse, including beatings and burns, in front of her aunt and her husband, who failed to intervene. Although social workers had been monitoring the family, no action was taken and the mother continued to torture the three daughters. After Alexandra's death, her sisters were taken in by Child Protection and NGOs are calling for urgent reforms in the social welfare system.
