A prominent article in the Norwegian newspaper VG (one of the largest) yesterday:

Tsjekkias president sammenligner norsk barnevern med nazi-program (The president of the Czech Republic compares Norwegian child protection with Nazi program)
VG, 9 February 2015

So VG has at long last woken up a little bit. Jan Simonsen has given them information long ago, but as usual the journalists have ignored, with a yawn probably, information about tragic and dramatic child protection cases. (The Norwegian press corps is chock-a-block full of political correctness, and political correctness says that info and protests against the CPS should be ignored.)

There is a short notice about this article on text-tv on NRK (the national tv company) also.

Simonsen has written about it on his own blog also:
Knallhard kritikk av norsk barnevern fra Tsjekkias president (Rock hard criticism of Norwegian child protection from the president of the Czech Republic)


The president has been interviewed by the Czech media house Blesk. He says the foster places where the boys have been put resemble the Lebernsborn program. The boys are being de-nationalised (away from Czech) and being raised to become young Norwegians.


Of course the article is also full of babbleibabb from Norwegian officials. (Never an article without wide scope given to our authorities.) We have heard it all before. It doesn't become right just because they repeat how wonderfully Norway takes care of all children, regardless of nationality.

Journlist in Blesk Ladislav Leimer says something even more interesting:
"Der er nok av lignende saker i Europa, det er alltid det samme: Barnevernet tar barn fra utenlandske foreldre, uten noe bevis, for å gi dem til fosterfamilier." (There are plenty of similar cases in Europe, it is always the same: The child protection takes children from foreign families, without any proof, to give them to foster families.)

The very positive thing here is that Leimer is aware that child protection units in many countries operate like the Norwegian agency does. He is mistaken if he thinks the majority of families attacked are foreigners, though. But it is true in Norway - and quite possibly in other countries – that foreign families are over-represented. They are even easier to attack than natives.
