Sculptures for perfect children were unveiled on the Green Bridge in central Vilnius on Thursday. But when the boxes concealing said sculptures were lifted away, there was nothing underneath.
As organisers say "there are no perfect children, but there are children who need us."
The installation was intended to encourage people to consider becoming foster carers.
"There truly are no perfect children – there are children who need us, adults, regardless of whether they are a child without parental care or a child growing up in our own families.
Everyone needs attention, everyone needs love, and everyone needs a connection with an adult who can ensure they feel loved," said Ilma Skuodienė, director of the State Child Rights Protection and Adoption Service, at a press conference accompanying the unveiling. She added that there are no perfect adults either.
