[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who think the state did the right thing for doing this to non-citizen children - what do you think will happen to the children if the state insists on separating them from their parents? The parents are non-citizens. Their visas will run out eventually. They'll have to leave the country.  Leaving behind their children who, as it is, have no legal status in Norway! So these two kids should stay in some legal limbo for 18 years? with no rights, no entitlements, and no relatives around?

Frankly, I think staying with the mom who slaps you from time to time is preferable to this sort of forcible extraction.

Assuming there is not more to the story.[/quote]

As a Indian chid of an abusive mother your comment struck a painful cord. I wished every day for someone recognize what my mother was doing to me and take me away. All my relatives knew of the abuse, whilst hey tsked they did nothing. I don't know the details of this case but no it is never good to be slapped around.[/quote]

You are giving one side of the story - what behavior did you engage in that got your parents' goat? Most people spend entire lives feeling sorry for themselves without taking responsibility. There was a US police officer who spanked his daughter, the daughter posted it online, but US law allows parents wide latitude on how they should parent, as it should. If you read statistics on foster children and their destroyed lives, your mother's "abuse" would seem like a vacation. Your mother loved you and cared for you, and just did not know how to show it properly. Grow up and see her for the flawed human we all are.[/quote]
