Welcome
to BarnasRett.no (Children’s rights)
We are a forum for people focusing on children and
their obvious right to live with, and have continuous contact with, their
biological family.
In our opinion, children and parents do have mutual and obvious natural
rights to live together. When, by whatever reason, living together is absolutely
not possible, we claim that the right to nevertheless be together as much as
possible, shall be respected.
Convention
on the Rights of the Child
Article
9
1. States Parties shall ensure that a child shall not be
separated from his or her parents against their will, except when competent
authorities subject to judicial review determine, in accordance with applicable
law and procedures, that such separation is necessary for the best interests of
the child. Such
determination may be necessary in a particular case such as one involving abuse
or neglect of the child by the parents, or one where the parents are living
separately and a decision must be made as to the child's place of residence.
2. In any proceedings pursuant to paragraph 1 of the
present article, all interested parties shall be given an opportunity to
participate in the proceedings and make their views known.
3. States Parties shall respect the right of the child
who is separated from one or both parents to maintain personal relations and
direct contact with both parents on a regular basis, except if it is contrary to
the child's best interests.
4. Where such separation results from any action
initiated by a State Party, such as the detention, imprisonment, exile,
deportation or death (including death arising from any cause while the person is
in the custody of the State) of one or both parents or of the child, that State
Party shall, upon request, provide the parents, the child or, if appropriate,
another member of the family with the essential information concerning the
whereabouts of the absent member(s) of the family unless the provision of the
information would be detrimental to the well-being of the child.
States
Parties shall further ensure that the submission of such a request shall of
itself entail no adverse consequences for the person(s) concerned.
We are experiencing numerous breaches against this
Convention in child protection (CPS) and child custody cases.
Individuals
and state departments are showing a lack of respect for the family - the
foundation stone of our society and our very life. The so-called consideration of "the best interest of the child"
is in our country a cover for very shallow competence, carelessness, negligence
and prestige on the part of people employed by the CPS and others working in
conjunction with them.
Our
intention is to collect relevant documentation showing in what way departments
in general and the child care authorities in particular run down, fight against,
and destroy individuals and families. We hope in this way to help and give our
moral support to victims of the child protection system, their lawyers and
others who feel the current abuse of power has to be put a stop to.
You
are heartily welcome with your update, support, contribution and information.

Fostered
children 'disturbed'
Children in fostercare are at high risk of experiencing mental health problems,
according to the findings of a survey by a Christchurch doctor. The study,
carried out by Canterbury University's Dr Michael Tarren-Sweeney with Professor
Philip Hazell for the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), looked at
nearly 350 cared-for children and found they had "exceptionally poor mental
health and socialisation". "I think it's the separation from their parents,
basically, the separation from their own mum and dad, no matter how good the
foster carers are ..." By Eleanor Wilson. (The Press, New Zealand 27.02.06)

least the rights defended by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)

other nations.

The Dangers of the
Therapeutic Culture
Clinical psychology is in a serious state.
Although there are many psychologists who practice therapies with scientifically
documented effects and others who perform tests with firm
scientific underpinnings, there are also many who do the opposite, who practice
psychotherapy that have been proven useless and perform
tests that lack all predictive value. By Germund Hesslow.

Haitian Coalition Unveils Report on Slavery and Trafficking of Haitian Children
"Many Haitians maintain that they
are acting in the best interests of the child when giving her away to a family
who is sometimes only slightly better off in the hopes that she will have
access to better opportunities in life. Many of those who take in restavèk
also believe that they are helping them out of poverty," explains Mr. Jocelyn
McCalla, co-author of Restavèk No More: Eliminating Child Slavery in Haiti, "The
evidence suggests otherwise as the practice fuels the cycle of poverty rather
than breaking it." (National Coalition for Haitian
Rights 18.04.02)
