Editor's Note:
Stierf de helft van de vondelingen voor hun vijftien jaar? Hoeveel duizenden kinderen werden er vanuit Antwerpen uitbesteed op het platteland? Hoe kwamen de wezen terecht in de schoolstrijd? Was er tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog een razzia in het Meisjesweeshuis?Dit boek brengt een vergeten en deels verdrongen sociale geschiedenis opnieuw tot leven: de opvang van vondelingen, verlatelingen, wezen en andere kinderen in precaire situaties. In Antwerpen was dat eeuwenlang een stedelijke aangelegenheid. De evolutie van de stad bepaalde mee de opvang in instellingen en uitbestedingen bij kostgezinnen op het platteland.Opvattingen van vroegere elites over de opvang versteenden eerst in grote godshuizen als het Vondelingenhuis, het Maagdenhuis en het Knechtjeshuis. Later verschenen Gestichten voor verlaten kinderen, grootschalige weeshuizen en tehuizen voor zwakke kinderen. Meer recent gingen de instellingen aansluiten bij het normale leven en kwam het ondersteunen van de gezinscontext centraal te staan.Zes eeuwen stedelijke jeugdzorg is meer dan regels, cijfers en centen. Het is tegelijk een verhaal van sociale ongelijkheid en bittere armoede en van barmhartigheid en idealisme. Het staat vol van persoonlijke geschiedenissen.Het relaas leert dat de opvang van kinderen in precaire situaties van alle tijden is en elke samenleving steeds opnieuw voor uitdagingen stelt.Naast vele illustraties bevat het boek veertien monologen. Deze monologen zijn literaire fictie geplaatst in een historisch kader. Erik Vlaminck en Ellen Van Pelt slepen de lezer mee in de wereld van vondelingen, arme wezen, kwekelingen en opvoeders.
