The Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest steps up Norway's "information"13 January 2016:
The Embassy has replaced its original "information" from 29 December:
The Norwegian child welfare service - Children in cross-border situationsRoyal Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest, 29 December 2015
with a revision:
The Norwegian child welfare service – Children in cross-border situations (Updated 13.01)and this is also published in Romanian:
Serviciul norvegian de protecție a copilului – Copii în situații transfrontraliere (Actualizat 13.01)It starts:
"The Norwegian Embassy in Romania has received many inquiries in connection with the demonstrations that have taken place recently. On its own initiative, the embassy has reached out to the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Parliament and the Prime Minister’s office, to give information about the Norwegian Child Welfare Service, and the principles upon which it is based. The embassy has underlined the principle of confidentiality."It of course says:
"The embassy has underlined the principle of confidentiality." This is Norway's crown trick: Everybody in an official capacity in some profession to do with a CPS case is given all sorts of "information" about the case, the parents, the children, and so on. Even journalists are often told all sorts of things which our authorities hold to be "facts" which "prove" that the CPS are right and that nothing must leak out, because that is said be so terrible for the children and the parents. Journalists are given this sort of information expressly
not to publish it, but to "appreciate" the official view of the case and write what the authorities approve of, or better still (in the authorities' opinion) not publish at all. The point of all the secrecy is that the family should be frightened from telling the public, so that there is no outrage, no way the population will stand up as one man and take all the system's people to task and have them stopped.
There is a new kind of order out from the Ministry:
"A new circular letter contains guidelines for how to handle cases where the child has attachment to several countries."In it, it is stated more clearly that the CPS should investigate whether children they take may have some sort of "attachment" to their relatives in the other country or simply to the other country so that they could be placed there.
No doubt the CPS will try to get around this in several ways. And if they have to "permit" the children to go to the other country, they will try to force a guarantee from the other country that the parents will not be allowed to see the children there. To be on as "safe" a side as possible, they will try to have the other country swear to keep the children in an orphanage there.
In that connection, another thing on the web page of the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest may be of some interest:
A piece from 14 December of last year has been moved to the top of the Embassy's webpage – painting a rosy picture:
Norway and Romania join forces in providing innovative social services for vulnerable familiesFirst and foremost, this is just simple propaganda aimed at saying that the "few" families that "have to" be split up, have been dependably evaluated by Norwegian CPS – demonstrated by this fact of the warm cooperation over child protection between the two countries. But another fact should also be noted:
As we see, this article ends by bringing up the matter of "Norway Grants" – money from Norway. Norway has for a long time been active providing money and sending personnel to teach other countries how to do social work, including child protection. They are eagerly pursuing this e.g in the Baltic states and the Czech Republic.

Czech family seriously damaged by Norwegian child protection service (CPS)). Norway will (again "of course") come up with "attachment": Eva Michaláková's children are held to have been away from their parents for so long now that they have no "attachment" to them any more but are "attached" to their foster parents. First of all, it is nonsense (but this is not the place to take up the spurious attachment theory once again). Secondly, Norwegian CPS and Norwegian courts are the ones who have all along made the case to drag out endlessly. There is this fantasy in Norway, certainly among all those who have been taught CPS "science", that as long as children are in the hands of the CPS, nothing wrong happens to them, and since parents do not matter to children any more than any replacement carers do, then children should be kept in CPS control until it is absolutely, absolutely certain that the parents are in no way imperfect carers.

The conclusions that can be drawn from this are obvious, they have in fact been clear all along: Norway will in no way stop its way of "helping" children and their families. They continue to propaganda for it, and will now no doubt come up with further pretence and camouflage. It is all the same clear that official Norway feels pressed. Usually they pretend the opposition is negligible, does not have to be taken seriously. At present, they can't quite manage that.
