I don't think that the child, or its parents are laughing now. Which is applicable to several thousand other children and families put into such position.

By the way, the bigger problems of the world start from such "small" ones as taking a child against all thinkable legal and moral rules.

I don't hold any grudge against CPS, as I already stated before. It's the unfairness of the situation that drives me here.

As for the fact box, I didn't twist anything, saying that its the number of children touched by CPS.

And the legal aspect: to adopt a child from Russia to a foreign family, you need to jump through a lot of legal hoops, designed to protect the child from potential abuse. What right has Norwegian CPS to take/kidnap a foreign national child from foreign national parents and adopt it away, bypassing everything thinkable?

Apraksin, do you have kids? How would you feel if, based on an arbitrary call from someone who has a grudge against you, your child is taken away and you never see it. I don't have kids yet, but I don't want to end up in such a situation.

And I am not blowing it out of proportion - I am just following a case as it evolves. It's not my fault that you cannot read about such cases in Norwegian press and that parents are told not to contact the media under the treat of never seeing their children again.
