The King's Solicitation for Torture?

 

 

Now also His Majesty King Harald has shown stance in the fevered child welfare debate pertaining to many nations.

Kari Killén was awarded the King's Medal of Merit, May 29. Killén's controvercial literature stands as the foundation of the Norwegian child welfare policy, criticized by United Nations' Human Right organs, human rights organizations and embassies in Norway; and countries worldwide.

The reprehensible and arbitrary, coercive splitting of families, has resulted in organized protests nationally and abroad, as well as diplomatic difficulties, for years.
Even today (2014), Norway is under sharp criticism by the UN. Many countries under Norway's hearing in the Human Rights Council pointed out that too many children in Norway are placed in foster-care, and many are abused in state custody. The controversial policy has also been a subject to negative media coverage in many countries, among them Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Somalia, Brazil ...

Families who have been in contact with what we call child welfare services (Barnevernet), show high death rates, according to NIBR's 2005 report. Particularly disturbing is the high suicide rate in children that are unlawfully denied family contact. According to the NIBR report, one to two children per week, die an unnatural death, separated from their families.

Since the practice of separating children from their families has escalated since 2005, there are significant reasons to believe that the death toll has increased dramatically proportional to the separation rate.
It can also be mentioned that attorney Sverre Kvilhaug refers to research on separation injuries, that is internationally recognized to ensure children's right to have parents with them, such as when hospitalized.
Separation injuries are serious injuries to the child's body and psyche, occuring when the child is separated from the mother at an early age.
Despite the renowned research, the number of forceful separations of young children from their families, has increased dramatically in Norway.

Amnesty International defines torture as "deliberate and premeditated attack on a person's psyche, body and dignity, by a public official or someone acting with governmental approval."
UN Torture Committee fights "all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment ....."


We see that what children are exposed to today, by what we call social services, with their supporters in law enforcement, county appeal board and judges, fall under the concept of torture. Victims testify about social service workers and supervisors who grin at children's screams of pain when they with brute force are dragged away from their parents; of police brutality and violence against children.

Are children in Norway subjected to systematic state torture, in many cases resulting in death, with His Majesty the King's blessing?
