This is your lovely Europe for you – the Europe Obama admires so much and wants to emulate. Europe may seem idyllic in some ways but it’s not free.
Norway is not free and people are not free to worship as they please. Christians around the world are planning peaceful protests calling for the release of five children seized from one family by their child welfare services in Barnevernet because the parents were subjecting them to “Christian radicalization and indoctrination” and for spanking their children. It’s a criminal offense to spank your child in Norway. The parents argue that the measure of taking their children away is far too severe in respect to the mild spanking they have applied to their own children.
The current law in Norway is that any violence against children, including careful slaps, is prohibited.
Christian Post reported that court papers did not identify signs of physical abuse.
If there is no other story here, there is a story about a government making spanking illegal.
The brother of Marius, Daniel Bodnariu said that the girls told Barnevernet workers that their father shook the baby “as a rag,” a statement Marius vigorously denies.
“What I would like to highlight is that you can easily manipulate a child to say something that is not true,” Bodnariu pointed out. “The law in Norway gives almost total credibility to the child and none to the parent.”
Last month the children were taken from Marius and Ruth Bodnariu for teaching things like, God punishes sin.
There are several Facebook pages set up on their behalf. Another Facebook page can be found on this link.There is also a petition in support of the family.
Over 44,200 people have already signed the petition calling for the reunion of the Bodnariu family. The petition states that the five children were “abusively taken away by the Norwegian government.”
