If they abuse or mistreat their children, yes. Otherwise, no.
This case was very clearly a case of child abuse.
Hah. They only do so in cases of severe abuse and neglect. Same as with non-immigrant families.
(This current movie is, afaik, very loosely based on a real case. Very loosely.)
Not really. Our child protective services step up in cases of abuse and neglect. Children have strong rights in Norway.
You only hear one side of the story in this, because cps is not allowed to make a statement to protect the kids. I highly doubt they take any kids for no reason, sometimes other cultures allow or has normalized physical punishment for kids. In Norway we have zero tolerance for it, doesn’t matter where you are from. Don’t hit your kids
Ok, so in the trailer when the mother runs and falls she starts bleeding from the top of her head, how?
Also, children aren’t “declared” wards of the state until they’re 18, they get put into foster care and are later adopted by somone in most cases. It does happen that children don’t get adopted unfortunately, but it’s not because the state refuses.
And then we literally see the husband slap his wife, showing that violence is in fact something that occurs in the family, so it’s not a huge stretch that they were violent towards their children and that’s why they were taken.
Don’t be ridiculous. We feed immigrant children to the polar bears.
The movie is based on a real case, where it turned out that the father had asked the child protection service to take the children into custody, because the mother was having a breakdown and was getting more and more violent with the children. They were placed with their paternal uncle.
Of course, the CPS are not allowed to say anything about why children are removed from their families, so the mother had quite a time making up stories for the media before that father came clean.
Unfortunately, I imagine that OP does not speak Norwegian. This link is to a podcast, where a journalist follows cps with regards to two cases, one a 2 yo, the other a teen.
To protect the children from being identified, they detail several of the rules they had to follow, but it gives what I believe is a very good view into how cps in Norway works. And for the person insisting that it is like “moving the lawn….” 😖😵💫 it sounds like they have far more to do while the children remain with the parents, than they do after they have been moved.
