This is a different case and different family |
What if the child really made it up? Where is other proof: bruises, injuries, some proof of actual abuse? You can't just take kids away because 1 child said something, you know, kids make up things all the time. |
Yes, this is the second family referenced in the first article, not the first family. |
Yes, you can. That's the job of the child protection agency and Norway's is excellent. |
Well, you need to back to elementary grade and retake reading. The parents in the OP are: Natalya Shutakova, a US citizen who last year moved to Norway from Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, Lithuanian citizen Zigintas Aleksandravicius, not "Bondariu" |
That family is Romanian. The family in the OP is American. |
Regarding this family, I found a couple articles. https://www.slavicsac.com/2019/06/17/natalia-shutakov/ The father was deported although married to a US citizen. So the family relocated to Oslo. One report of child abuse and the kids were removed. I've seen nothing specific about their "Christian" religion. |
| Does anyone have information on the Russian woman who lost custody of her kid(s) in Arlington, VA maybe in the early 2000's? I seem to recall the mother had some oddball ideas that she blogged or spoke about, but was not abusive per se? Maybe I didn't hear the full story? It happens here, too. |
The articles lack any details. There may be physical signs of abuse, and that is why Norway is keeping them. Bottom line is we do not know. I doubt that there was absolutely no wrongdoing on the part of the family. |

It happened to an Indian family as well:

| Surely this happens here, too. People come here from other cultures with a different opinion on what is an appropriate punishment for their children (or medical procedure, like FGM) and it violates US laws and CPS gets involved. |
These kids have had a rough life. An illegal immigrant father who was eventually deported, then subsequent move to another country, they've had years of instability. Living with an undocumented father, possibly much longer. Maybe the Norwegian government can give them stability, as well as indoctrination and assimilation. |
Do you even hear the screaming prejudice and discrimination in what you wrote?! |
| They need to integrate into Norwegian culture if they planned to actually live there. |
