Norway wants Brazil kid in care 'for eating wrong'

That's really dangerous. Here can be strong manipulations. You can find yourself on the court without your child and guilty for some reason which is nonsense at all. I remember a Serbian couple in Switzerland who stayed without their two children because they put them in other school than one that was proposed by township. There is different custom in different countries and to prevent abuse to take child and give it to a well financed couple without children, should be agreed generally what is children abuse.

Oh, yes, I find that I mostly agree with you.  I meant "occupants" just for explanation because people in Estonia are always frightened with that word. Its pure brainwashing, but it works. However, I can be sure that studying Estonian was not so important at 1950-1980, as Russian could always get higher education in Russia (St. Petersburg and Moscow). So, Estonian was learnt and teached quite lazy. People learned more by communication,but as it was USSR then Estonians had to learn more.
Russians should not be demonised like they are today, no matter was that occupation or not. People are here and they should be treated with respect. Unfortunately, we cant see that today - even my own children, bilingual locals by birth, still suffer from that attitude. Bullying goes on throughoughly. So, I grew up living in 3 regimes, in ESSR and independent Estonian Republic and Estonian Rep. in EU, and I've seen it all.
I am teaching to Russian children Estonian by private lessons, and I see "tons" of these sufferers, crying out for help, because parents cant help them at all despite the parents were born here. On paper, its all beautiful, Russians "are made to study Estonian at early stage", ""language environment", etc. Its on paper only. In reality, 90% of schools just do not cope. And parents cant support. Method and system does not (STILL!) work. I am not the one to say, what is wrong. But something is and badly. Over half of Russian students get very weak grades, and are not happy (not to say hate) Estonian classes. There is no fun, there is no help.
I see young Estonians a lot out of business, jobs in private sector which needs knowledge of Russian. And well educated Russians, some even with bad knowledge of Estonian, snatch the jobs in front of young Estonians faces.
It is claimed, that Russians were and are taught Estonian language well. Its a lie! In fact, they have to pay a lot and struggle hard, so many just dont care any more. Russians are thrown overboard. I believe the 2nd and 3rd generation does NOT deserve this!

But thats not so important now. Did you see my post about our papers and minister? The fight in that keywording will be extremely difficult, in double.

Oh, dear. Proua, you were doing quite well, until you mentioned "occupants", and the remaining string of the modern propaganda stereotypes so lavishly seen in the Baltic MSM.

Let's go off-topic a little, and inspect this.

Yes, Russian being the state language of USSR, was studied in the whole of the country as it was the common means of communication. However, you are made to forget, that the official Soviet (and Russian) policy regarding languages was that local languages had to be studied and known. In Estonia, as well as other Soviet republics, you would, for example, not be accepted into higher educational institutions, without passing an exam on the local language. From a Lithuanian friend of my family, whose ancestors moved there from Russia in late 1700s, I know the requirements for the fluency in Lithuanian in LitSSR.

One can say that now that Estonia has no ties to Russia, learning Russian is an optional personal matter. I won't argue with that, though many European states - Russia, Norway, Switzerland, Finland - have multiple official state languages. But Estonia cannot be proud of swinging into the extreme of banning everything that's Russian, creating a class of "non-citizens", who are denied citizen rights, despite having been born in Estonia and contributing to Estonia's well-being.

For an "occupied" territory Estonia, and the other two Baltic republics were doing quite well - they were the richest republics, with the living standard surpassing even those found in Moscow. Pouring money and resources, and building up industry is not how an occupation usually works. I am from Moscow. As a child, back in the mid-80's, I spent some time in Tallinn and I was floored - it was like getting to the West, when it came to how people dressed, how the life was organised.

And finally, if one follows the international law, it is a murky water, when it comes to Estonia's legal stature:
http://stanislavs.org/nikolay-starikov-estonia-should-pay-back-the-money-for-which-peter-the-great-bought-it-from-sweden-300-years-ago/

Papers say that MTÜ Eesti Vanemad (Estonian Parents, organisator)
http://www.eestivanemad.ee/
is "hand from Kreml" (Russia, enemy) and really do not stand for children. Its Russian propaganda, says minister of science and education, Jürgen Ligi.
http://m.delfi.ee/eesti/article.php?id=73417737
Defencepolice said there is nothing illegal within MTÜ created in 2014, but just lies and malinformation. Despite that conclusion gevernment labels them to be "enemys propaganda".

[email protected]

Now, you, see, anyone taking part, will be an "enemy of Estonia". Does anybody dare to come?!
Some, say, that "we dont believe your threatening with bad Russia any longer, since government uses it everywhere",
but those are not many brave people.

Yes, it was just confusion  with mail, found it on your page  .

BTW, Forgot to mention: we have one case (I think you have heard about it), when all children were taken by CPS. I looked to all info I could find and came to conclusion that the reason was parents to be a little bit dumb and seriously poor. The youngest child died in childcare. The system apologized and did not give the others back to family. CPS found, that such parents should not give birth to children, since they are poor and will burden the support-system (un-oficcial statement). Some children did not like to go to school and parents could not convince them to go. So, instead of offering homeschooling and maybe even a teacher, if parents were "dumb", they took children. Not to mention no funding (or natural things like food, clothes etc) was given to avoid poverty. Sums meant to help local people are actually very low, so even if they did give support, it would be probably still be not enough. Parents were not abusers, alcholics or drug addicts. Just dumb and poor. This happened before new law came in force, so its said that such mistakes will be now avoided. What an irony, it will get much worse. Soon. Probably, they would not get even an apologize now.

PS: In Estonia the thing is that the older people often know Russian well, youth does not. Older Russians (occupants) do not know Estonian language, youth knows it better. Reason: Until 1990, estonians had to know russian if they wanted to manage in ESSR (Estonian Soviet Social Republic). Schools for Russian children taught Estonian very negligently. Now, from 1992, we do not have any longer two languages officially. So, young Estonians dont have to learn Russian any more and they dont and Russian children are now under pressure, obliged to learn Estonian on high level, believe me, they struggle hard with it, since parents cant help them. My own opinion is that no matter is there one or two languages, both local groups should be taught, for free and well. But it wont happen of course, just dreaming.

Hello Marianne,

I will be very busy tomorrow, but thanks for all your info, it helps. Definately, I will translate the linked for you (however, not very high quality into English, you would want to edit). Yes, I will do my best to prepare for protest and also, I will translate info into Estonian (it is much more  important as Russians get a lot of info from Russian media, but Estonians dont). I would need then you to upload them somewhere, I could spread a link to this info then. I would like to stay publicly/locally quite anonymous i.e. not to be an author. We are quite threatened by many instruments-systems. World is gone crazy.

I just love when someone makes a statement of some country and the person, from that said country, replies with "That's utter bullshit" comment.

Proua, you sound too good to be true! But I hope you are with us in that anything we do, is for free - there is nobody who can pay anybody for translations or other work.

First priority: Estonia and Estonians, of course!

I had not heard that there is to be a demonstration in Tallinn on the coming Saturday, so this information is extra welcome. Estonians do not have enough information about CPS in the Scandinavian countries and Finland, so certain it would be useful to translate and spread more information in Estonian. Also, Norway is active trying to spread their way of "protecting" children to Estonia too, and there is every reason to try and wake the Estonians up to what the result will be:

Norwegian child protection active as teachers in Estonia?

At the demonstration in Prague yesterday, the demonstrators marched to the establishment organising "Norwegian Grants" and called out: "Keep your money!", so many Czechs have understood something important.

Demonstration in Prague

*

If you are able to attend the Tallinn demo, I suggest:

1) You try to make a translation of Jan Simonsen's recent article:
Norwegian Embassy makes gross bluff about Norwegian child protection
into Estonian.

2) You put it out on the internet one or several places (I know Jan well, he is a Norwegian living part of the year in Prague) and I have his full permission to spread the article as well as possible and in as many languages as possible.)

3) You bring along to the demonstrations some print-outs of the article. Be sure to also pass out the link to it. Try to find the demonstration organisers and pass on a copy to them.

4) You could also bring along the same article in Russian version, for the Estonians who are not too young to have been taught Russian (also, I know there is a Russian population in Estonia.)
Jan Simonsen: Пocoльcтвo Hopвeгии в Бyxapecтe - -

Many Russians, too, have been treated badly by Norwegian CPS, and they demonstrate. Unfortunately, the demos in Russia tend to be lead by a lady whose issue is first and foremost with the children's father, her ex-husband. She accuses the CPS of having taken his side unfairly. - It is usually impossible for outsiders to really know what is what in a conflict between parents. While the CPS are eager to sow conflict between parents and to capitalise on it, I think the thing we must do is to concentrate on stemming the tide of CPS treatment of children, not on solving disputes between parents. Plenty of Russians, too, understand this, and plenty of people elsewhere too try/want to direct CPS opposition towards the other parent. In my view that is a sometimes a hindrance to our work to spread factual information about CPS abuses.
  
5) Another thing which I need myself, in order to understand more fully what Estonians know and do not know, is to have a translation the other way: of an Estonian article into English or Scandinavian:
http://sirlejuures.blogspot.no/2015/06/uus-lastekaitseseadus-kas-lapsi.html

So it would very helpful if you were able to translate it. I know that it is critical of Western nations' CPS, but it is not enough for me to know just vaguely, I need a full translation.

You will see, both here on Bitcoin and on my own website that I have given a mail address, and you are of course welcome to use it if you want to communicate with me direct.

Let me just say as a conclusion that if you do not think this that I have suggested to be the most valuable thing you could do, then use your own judgment to see what you could best contribute. There are umpty articles, for instance, on the three pages of
http://forum.r-b-v.net/viewforum.php?f=56
and on my website
http://Http://www.mhskanland.net

that we would be very grateful to have translated into Estonian or Finnish or Russian!







  

Thank you, Marianne.

I can translate from English to Estonian and Russian. I speak and understand fluently Finnish as well and can handle more-less some slavic languages (Polish, Check etc), but not translate into these. I have "an idea" of few other common European languages, so I can see/read with quite  wide open eyes.
There is some info found in Estonian, but I am not sure if its enough. Could be useful to get in touch with people who are struggling here. However, I have heard about a protest in Tallinn on 23.01.16. I try to be there, if I can.

  
There are some reports etc from demonstrations today. Click into the videos from Arad! They bring forth joyful tears, at least in me - I am quite emotional.

You are very welcome in this thread, Proua! The persecuted families need all the help they can get, and publicity is very important, perhaps the most important of all now.

As regards translation, tell me: Are you Czech, since you link to that article from Prague Post? Which language would you be translating to?

The few of us who do fairly consistent work with the CPS problem, are up to our ears in work usually, so I don't know who could make special summaries. Could you have a look at my home page http://www.mhskanland.net and select articles I have written in English which you find useful? You will find my email address there. You are free to re-publish anything I have written. Similarly, there are articles on Forum RVB's English page: http://forum.r-b-v.net/viewforum.php?f=56 which might suit. You can ask me if you want to translate and publish articles which have been written by other people than me; I know several of the authors and can find out whether that is ok.

Regards,
Marianne

  

News: http://praguepost.com/the-big-story/51505-another-child-taken-by-norway-s-barnevernet

Child kidnapping is became a business everywhere for these evil and bad guys. To just make money people are doing anything whatever coming to their mind. These people I can say is no human anymore.

Hello everybody.

I am aware of the problem now and giving my full support to you and families under these tragedys. There is no doubt that power will corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. My hope is that in my country this model of CPS will not be accepted fully, but I feel endangered. Any ideas, how to inform people, so they would start doubting and questioning? Maybe, someone can write an informative summary of issues and I could translate it and I could spread it, there where and how I can? The more people hear, the more they think.

I want to highlight this bit - very indicative, showing that the demonstrators are on the right track, seeing as the authorities want to have them shup up, freedom of speech be damned.

Even if only some of these demonstrations take place, it should be considered very good. We must keep our eyes open and hope for reports, preferably in foreign media.

Here in Norway there was a demonstration in Oslo on Tuesday 5 January, with about 40-50 people (very good in this cold weather!).
Protest in Oslo

5:50 p.m.

The national broadcasting nrk had a coverage in the radio program "Her og Nå" (Here and now) which runs between 5 and 6 pm. The part of the program dealing with Norwegian Barnevernet was about 9 minutes long. The first part spoke of the demonstrations and interviewed a CPS representative from Naustdal, the municipality where five children have been taken from the family Bodnariu (The five children of a Rumanian-Norwegian family taken by Barnevernet), the second part was an interview with the Norwegian ambassador in Lithuania, who told the listeners about the upset over Norwegian CPS in Lithuania for months.

The program stated that there have been invitations to demonstrations in 5 countries today, in London, Washington DC, Barcelona, Dublin og Copenhagen.
    The CPS say they do not believe the foreigners know how the Norwegian statute regulating child protection works, they will (again) send out information in English, and 'try to explain' the Norwegian system. The ambassador in Lithuania complains (again) that the foreigners do not want to listen to this "information". An embassy secretary in Washington thinks that incorrect information is circulating.
    The CPS locally in Naustdal have received heaps of postcards etc, and the administrative head of the municipal administration finds the situation so unpleasant that he will have the police monitor websites here in Norway which he thinks spread smear-campaigns on the edge of illegality.

VG, 9 January 2016

The article brings interview with ambassadors and authorities etc. Their attitude is all the time that what is missing is for the foreigners to "understand". When Norway informs them, other countries will understand, they believe. Their thoughts are free from any idea that Norway's child protection may in fact be doing something radically wrong – may really, in actual fact, be an abuser.

You could certainly say that, salinizm. They keep repeating endlessly how wonderful everything in our child protection system is, but will never discuss how individual, actual cases are carried out. Here is a new article which takes the Norwegian Embassy (= the Norwegian state) by the scruff of their neck: It has already been published by Prague Post, and has just now turned up on the internet in Romania in Rumanian translation.

If anyone would like to spread it further, the author Jan Simonsen would just be very pleased. It fits hand in glove with some demonstrations in a lot of countries against Norwegian child protection just now (I'll link to that below.)

3 January 2016


Jan Simonsen:

Norwegian Embassy with gross bluff about Norwegian child protection (Barnevern)

The Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest has published a fairly long statement about the Norwegian Child Welfare Services (Barnevernet) on its webpage.

It's probably the same information other Norwegian embassies spread to various countries.

This statement is inaccurate and in part downright untrue. It is aimed at showing a rosy picture of a system which is felt by thousands of Norwegians as abusive and has triggered large demonstrations not only in Bucharest and other European capitals but in Norway too.

The Norwegian child welfare service – Children in cross-border situations

The Embassy writes:
"In 2014, approximately 53.000 children received measures from the child welfare service in Norway. More than eight out of ten of these cases were voluntarily assistive measures for children and families."

The number of children receiving assistance from the Child Welfare Services is of course completely irrelevant in relation to the problem: that many children in Norway are taken away from their parents. The statistics of The Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs show that 11,200 children and young individuals lived in Norwegian foster homes in 2014. In the course of the year 1,665 children were taken from their parents involuntarily. Every day around the year, then, 3 - 4 children are taken from their parents (Barn som får hjelp fra barnevernet).

The Embassy writes that an order for transfer of care is issued by a special Norwegian court or an ordinary court, "and only when the child is subject to serious neglect, maltreatment or abuse", and adds that "Placing a child outside the home without the parents’ consent is always a measure of last resort."

This is a serious allegation, indirectly implying grave accusations against the parents, who have scant possibilities of defending themselves. In a case against a Czech mother, her going to the media with her case was used against her in the appeal court.

The Embassy's claim that children are only taken from their parents when there is "serious neglect, maltreatment or abuse" is so far from the truth that it may be characterised as a serious lie.

Several hundred cases were examined by Dr. of science Åge Simonsen, whose conclusion was that few of the transfers of care were motivated in real care failure, rather they were done after a subjective assessment by a bureaucrat in the Child Welfare Services that the parents "lacked in ability to care". They were not evaluated as able enough to be parents.

This also actually agrees with the statistics of the Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs, statistics of the 20 most frequent reasons why the Child Welfare Services take action. At the top of the list we find "The parents lack in parenting abilities." In an interview with the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang, lawyer Thea Totland says that she has noted over the last few years increasingly many cases in which there is no question of evident care failure, "but that the ability to care is judged on the basis of opinion and on the basis of a number of demands which many are not able to fulfil" (my translation). Many Norwegian lawyers are in agreement with Totland's assessment.

What, then, are the demands posed by the Child Welfare Services as diagnostic for parents not having sufficient ability to raise their children?

Professor Marianne Skånland is probably the person in Norway who has for the longest period of years monitored our Child Welfare Services with critical eyes and has studied the field most thoroughly. In an article she lists arguments used by the child protection agencies in Norway and the other Nordic countries saddled with the same official system. From 69 examples I have selected five as representative:
(Hva skal til for at barnevernet skiller barn og foreldre? from An incomplete list of reasons given –)

1: The psychologist registered that the mother could not make an omelet to his satisfaction and she cuts the bread into too thick slices.

2: The child looks eagerly at strangers around it and smiles at them. This means that it is not attached to its mother.

3: The baby turns its face the wrong way when its father washes it.

4: The mother wants to let the children's grandmother bring them to and from physiotherapy and other medical treatment which they need, instead of taking them herself. In this the mother puts her own interests before the children's.

5: When visiting the children the grandmother wanted to embrace them. The CPS had to stop that, since it can create an unwanted attachment.


The Embassy writes that "Parents are entitled to a due process, including a lawyer paid for by the government, the right to be heard and the right to appeal the decision".

On paper that is correct. But the judicial process is illusory. Case law shows that it never succeeds. Norwegian lawyers confirm that this is so. While the cases run in the courts, the children are in the hands of foster parents, and the Child Welfare Services therefore advance as an argument against the biological parents that the children have adapted to their new "parents" and that it would be traumatic for them to be torn away from their new environment. This argument is maintained even more strongly with time and is approved by the courts.

In sum, it must be said that in most cases the Child Welfare Services take children from their parents on the basis of a subjective judgment of "lack of ability to care", with very flimsy arguments. The attitude right from the start is that the major responsibility for our children is the prerogative of the state, not of the parents. Parents and children are daily subject to these abusive actions from the Child Welfare Services. They affect both Norwegian parents and foreign parents in Norway. Even the children of asylum seekers, children who have been confiscated by the Norwegian Child Welfare Services, are kept on permanently with Norwegian foster parents, whereas their parents are expelled from Norway.

In the wake of the Child Welfare Services we have seen human catastrophes, destroyed families, and in some cases parents who have taken their own lives or have ended up as drug abusers in their desperation over having lost that which is most precious to them. A report from the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research shows that foster children in Norway take their lives eight times as frequently as other children do (pp 12-13 of the report).

This is the truth of the Norwegian Child Welfare Services which the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest has not wanted to inform the Romanian public about.

what ? norway authorities must be insane. those cases are not example of child abuse or something. these arent more than simply parenting. Raising 
child in eastern cultures happens with these methods.. norway , please learn world cultures.. do not stuck in your so called democratic european world ...
