Jayme MetzgarBy

A child welfare case in Norway that has been grabbing headlines and stirring protests worldwide came to a sudden end late last week.

The story, which I covered in depth for The Federalist in April, centers on Marius and Ruth Bodnariu and their five young children. Marius, a Romanian citizen, and Ruth, a native Norwegian, first ran afoul of Norway’s child protective services (called Barnevernet) in November 2015. After privately interviewing the family’s two oldest daughters at school, Barnevernet abruptly took all five children into emergency custody: first the girls, then the younger boys, and finally the three-month-old baby.

ÎNCEPE O VARĂ FIERBINTE… de George Alexander

Săptămâna aceasta este cum n-a mai fost. Este o săptămână de foc în care incertitudinea destinului va supune viața oamenilor celui mai greu examen…

Duminică, 5 iunie, are loc un fapt banal… Politicienii, care demult ne tot mint, îşi vor împărți şi de data aceasta sferele puterii… Un episod jenant din istoria patriei va avea loc… Atâția inculpați, penali, prinşi cu mâța în sac!, vor deveni aleşii noştri!
Acest lung şir de “Eşti un nimeni!”, de impostori, oportunişti şi hoți ne va conduce în anii care vor urma!…
Unde?! Către un nicăieri!… Spre neant!

… Săptămâna aceasta, însă, se decide soarta familiei Bodnariu, familia cu 5 (cinci) copii, distrusă de Barnevernet! Ei îşi pot reuni lacrimile de fericire sau, dimpotrivă, pot fi sfâşiați de sistemul care nu răspunde în fața nimănui… Continue reading “ÎNCEPE O VARĂ FIERBINTE… de George Alexander”
