[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, true.

If you did 2 nights of CIO in my coutry they'd take your kids away no questions asked if the neighbor reported you. And all your fellow American moms would be here defending you.  [/b]

It's a matter of perception. You guys think you're the best in the world and you believe you hold the absolute truth in your hands and this is disgusting. There's a huge range of normal and healthy. This poor woman was sick and they took her children away. They're taking advantage of her citizenship status on top of everything. This wrong in so many levels!

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: yes, that was what I read in a news report. It's important to read as much of the news as possible. Clearly, on some level, the parents were in over the head and/or Norwegian child protective authorities saw things they didn't like and made some very dangerous assumptions. The approach is incredibly punitive, and quite frightening, but this is not a first for Norway's child protective service. Read some of the materials by Marianne Haslev Skånland, a Norwegian scholar who is affiliated with the Nordic Committee for Human Rights and who has been tracking this issue for many years. There are reports of similar forced separation out of Sweden and the UK as well. There appears to be a blurry line between a mission to protect the children's interests and perpetuating cultural ignorance. There were many ways the child protection workers could have dealt with this, but they chose a particularly horrifying route that preyed on the vulnerabilities of an immigrant family with limited ability to appeal the court decision.

OP you are utterly correct. If this happened to an American family with the same exact facts these PPs would be up in arms. Instead they are displaying their xenophobia. It's disgusting. [/quote]

Not true. I would say the same if it were an American family. Don't move to another country and expect it to be like home. It isn't. You are all extremely naive, IMHO.[/quote][/quote]

Um, what country is that?  North Korea?

"My neighbor's baby has been crying for an hour!  Take him away!"

I don't even know which country you are talking about, but it is either a totalitarian regime that looks for any excuse to break families apart (child soldiers, maybe?) or you are off your rocker.[/quote]
