Some demonstrations are planned for Saturday 30 May:
Demonstrations against (Norwegian) child protection in many cities on 30 May 2015
The child protection system will also be a theme in the European Union on 2 JuneThe demonstrations have been planned for a long time. Probably the Norwegian child protection system will be in focus, at least in some of the demonstrations, but other Western countries are also under criticism and will very likely be en item, especially that of Britain (there is a very high number of complaints re child 'protection' and forced adoptions against Britain at the European Court of Human Rights these last few years).
It is not a bad thing if the central focus is on Norway, although the CPS is just as bad in some other countries and the philosophy driving it is usually the same. If one could effect a change in Norway – closing down the present system and starting to build, from scratch, a real social service – that would give a good foundation for effecting improvements in other countries afterwards.
As usual, the Norwegian press/media is almost uniformely silent. They have of course been trained and have their experience from an ideology which is rather uncritical of the politically correct in most fields. Also, they operate with something they call 'research', which is too superficial and quickly-in-and-out to suit a deep-rooted system gone wrong. A 'lone swallow' this time is:
Europeiske demonstrasjoner mot det norske barnevernet (European demonstrations against the Norwegian child protection agency)
Nettavisen, 24 May 2015
It is of course very uncertain how much of a success these demos will be but it is the right thing to attempt regardless. It is probably the only thing that can possibly stop the CPS abuses – long term information, except if a large scale catastrophe were to bring the system(s) to collapse, and we should not want that, since that kind of 'revolution' is apt to bring further disasters in its wake.
Demonstrations in Norway are planned in
Oslo
Stavanger
TrondhjemIn Oslo the demonstration will take place from 11 am until 3 pm, at Eidsvolls Plass outside Stortinget (Parliament).
Abroad there are demonstrations planned in
London
Dublin
Edinburgh
Stockholm
Copenhagen
Warszaw
Prague
Bratislava
Vilnius
TallinnI am sorry that neither Russia nor Turkey is in with the rest. However, that does not mean that they are passive or ignorant of CPS problems caused by Norway to their citizens, and whatever other political conflicts between countries, they certainly have shown correct insights and opinions in CPS matters. The Russian children's ombudsman, who is e.g mentioned in Nemo1024's last posting above, is certainly active, in a manner beneficial to children and parents.
The Czech politician who has worked especially against Norwegian child protection abuse is planning to come to Oslo on Saturday and be present at the demonstration here:
He is a Czech member of the EU parliament. His name is
Tomáš ZdechovskýThere is quite a lot about his contribution in several postings in
"the Czech thread" on Forum Redd Våre Barn. He has also been a leading motor in getting CPS debated in the European Union on 2 June.
A new article by Jan Simonsen is expected, probably today Thursday, on
his blog. Presumably it will be in Norwegian, though, and it is doubtful whether there is much time for anyone to translate it. Nevertheless I will link to it here.
Jan Simonsen visits the Czech Republic quite often, has many friends and connections there, and has contributed valuably there to disseminate information about Norwegian child protection. His work, too, is referred to here, in
"the Czech thread".
