NOW AND FOREVER OUR DAUGHTER…SEEING ARIA TODAY

Aria holds the bubble maker for her daddy

Aria holds the bubble maker for her daddy

We had our two-hour visitation today with our precious little princess
It was again a wonderful meeting and we loved seeing her again. She seems to recognize us and was happy, very talkative and started playing with her mummy shortly after we arrived. We brought soap-bubbles she could play with, and she really thought this was funny. She wanted to put the bubbles into daddy and mommy’s mouth, laughing a lot We also brought a book with photos of us and her she can bring to the foster parents. It was really heartbreaking when Aria took the book, pointed at a picture of Vibeke and said “mummy”. She seemed quite independent of her confidence-person, and was not in need of any particular support from her. Continue reading “NOW AND FOREVER OUR DAUGHTER…SEEING ARIA TODAY”

NORVEGIA – Activista LESBIANĂ Hege Hovland Malterud: Director Național la … BARNEVERNET ?!

Ea decide in Norvegia când si ce copii sunt răpiți de către dumnezeul-stat din sânul familiei:

   Iată ce putem citi la „HOMOSEXUAL THEOLOGY” IN BARNEVERNET?:

”Teologie homosexuală” în Barnevernet?

Norvegia este o națiune pluralistică, în care învățăm să trăim și să muncim împreună, în ciuda diferențelor. Totuși, am învățat să examinăm filosofia și valorile de bază ale celor aflați la putere.

În consecință, se presupune că Barnevernet trebuie să fie o instituție neutră din punct de vedere religios. Cu toate acestea, în cazul Bodnariu, măsurile luate de Barnevernet și de școala locală din Statul Naustdal dovedesc existența unei opresiuni puternice împotriva credinței și a valorilor creștine tradiționale. Acesta este un motiv de îngrijorare. Continue reading “NORVEGIA – Activista LESBIANĂ Hege Hovland Malterud: Director Național la … BARNEVERNET ?!”

A comparison of the culture between Australian and Norwegian child protection (CPS)

By Julian Chan

One problem which I have encountered both first hand and in reading comments from many parents who have had contact with a country’s CPS is in understanding what those authority’s expectations are regarding child development as well as the transparency of the processes. Here I have made a quick review of available material on Norway’s Barnevernet website as compared to the Western Australian Department for Child Protection.

*

bd7edb53-ea09-43d9-a8e1-bb46023654d6The Australian site appears appears to provide much more information to the public than the Norwegian counterpart, Barnevernet. It gives the definitions of child abuse and neglect, providing examples and signs for each category. They make their expectations about child development and signs of trauma clear, while also acknowledging that development is not an even, straight line.

Jørgen Stueland: I am a fanatic

My name is Jørgen Stueland. I am a fanatic and I am a lawyer. Winston Churchill described a fanatic as a person who will not change his mind and will not change subject. That´s me. In cases concerning the Barnevern. I will not, I refuse, I stick to my opinion. And I refuse to change the subject. Continue reading “Jørgen Stueland: I am a fanatic”

Delight in Truth: 500,000 Visitors

piano-picI never intended to turn this site into an anti-CPS blog when I started out. I meant to focus on theology, discernment in the church, and topics about the Christian struggle with the world. But when I heard about what Barnevernet did to the Bodnariu family I started writing articles to inform my friends about the situation. Unexpectedly, visitors from all over the world like professor Marianne Skanland arrived here leaving well-informed and well researched information. Mr Knut Nygaard who represents the Norwegian CPS has also been a regular commentator, and he has given us front row sitting and insight into how Barnevernet thinks and works.

Norway, Close the Bodnariu Case!

13392144_994884043913290_937203725641661935_oThe Norwegian newspaper Firda reports today that the criminal investigation against the Bodnariu parents has concluded and the results have been forwarded to the Norwegian equivalent of the district attorney’s office. The article states that results of the investigation have not been made public, but the parents can still be prosecuted in criminal court if the district attorney wishes to do so, despite the fact that the children have been returned.

ANGLIA – Protecția Copilului îi luase copiii în 2009, iar azi 8 iulie, Poliția a arestat-o de acasă pe Andreea Brădeanu!

Alex Brădeanu ne informează:

Andreea este acum in arest. A fost arestată din cauza că oamenii au trimis scrisori pe adresele membrilor la Protectia copilului spunându-le să îi dea acasă copiii Andreei.

Din aceasta cauza Protectia copilului (social worker/managerul) a făcut plângere la Politie „pentru abuz” iar aceasta are ca rezultat  arestarea Andreei (sotiei mele).

Nu s-a certat cu nimeni, ci doar au primit plângere de abuz din cauza că oamenii trimite-au felicitari la una din fiice fiind ziua ei pe 09.07.16
Au arestat-o din cauza că era pe BAIL si ca nu avea voie să aibe legătură cu cei ce au fetele in grijă.
Culmea…ea nu a trimis nici o scrisoare/felicitare, și nimic de altfel. Continue reading “ANGLIA – Protecția Copilului îi luase copiii în 2009, iar azi 8 iulie, Poliția a arestat-o de acasă pe Andreea Brădeanu!”
