You are almost certainly correct. We are only hearing one side to this issue and (as you point out) such extreme restrictions on parental contact indicate that the issues are rather far reaching and have little to do with not using spoons.
- dalke 15y agoThe correct (albeit scientific wishy-washy word) is "suggest", not "indicate". Rather, it equally indicates that the Norwegian foster care system is over-reaching and unable to accept difference in child-rearing practices different than the Norwegian cultural norm. The Norwegian Degbladet questioned the "Head of Child Protection Service in Stavanger, Gunnar Toresen", and received only that the transfer of care taking was not due to cultural differences and that it was very problematic for them since the description (of the problem) is not rooted in reality. Note also that the Fylkesnemnda (the court-like board which oversees child services) overturned the decision of the child services employees who made the decision, only to be overturned themselves in appeal. Which suggests that this is not a clear cut issue. The appeal has been appealed, but trial date has not yet been set.
