An Unfinished Debate on Barnevernet.
Først om den grufulle India-saken, som helt rettmessig vekker harme verden over:
"The recent conflict over the Norwegian authorities putting two children of an Indian couple in foster care gets resolved with political intervention. But there are still questions that will not go away about the Norwegian Child Welfare Agency (Barnevernet). "Ser ut som om noen har drevet research, og siterer velkjente skribenter fra dette nettstedet:
"A report prepared by Gruppen til Familiens Selvstendige Rett (GFSR), Redd Våre Barn (RVB) and BarnasRett concludes that current practices in the Norwegian Child Protection system are not compatible with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Arild Holta,as an activist against children's segregation from their parents asks for an urgent need to re-evaluate the fundamental principles along which the Child Protection system works in Norway.""Professor of linguistics at the University of Bergen, Marianne Haslev Skånland points out another problematic dimension of the child welfare system. According to Skånland, it is turning into an industry, which pays incredible amounts, especially to psychologists, for “reports” and to foster “parents”. They advertise for people to be foster parents and announce a yearly pay of, say, NOK 430.000 (€ 30.000) plus paid holidays and regular “time off” from the foster children plus allowances for building their house or buying an extra car plus pension entitlement. The business also, of course, provides extra income and extra jobs for social workers, writes Skånland. She also notes that child care cases often rely on information from anonymous sources. She think one never knows who the sources are, and whether the sources are reliable. Or whether the sources possess first hand information, or are pure rumors. Om de russiske sakene:
"Outside the Norwegian Embassy in Moscow, the members of the youth organization of the ruling party, the United Russia made a demonstration with strong slogans.
"The Norwegian child welfare service is Breivik," they cried. "Norges bidrag til verdens språk; quisling, Barnevern(et) og Breivik.Og så deler vi ut Nobels fredspris da, innimellom menneskerettsbruddene og den gjentatte, umenneskelige og offentlige barnetorturen.
