peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1| persoane abandonate castaway Explanation: It seems to be a sheer translation issue. In my point of view, it is not the question the asker mentions: what in (...) has been abandoned. It would be enough [pardon me the possible naivety] to choose an appropriate term to translate persoane abandonate. I am sure the term castaway does. |

8 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2persons abandoned by their families Explanation: This is what I think it means, I've also seen a few Google hits for people abandoned in hospital (by their families probably), meaning that someone took them to hospital and they were probably to ill to be discharged without a caretaker, but there was no one to fulfil that role. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2022-03-25 12:19:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Guardian: Social workers help Romania's abandoned children off the streets https://www.theguardian.com/social-care-network/2016/nov/24/...
