Mr Know All Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Fishy. I don't think authorities will take baby away just because it was fed by hands. And how is eating with hands unhygienic? Actually it makes u wash your hands before every meal. Unlike people who eat with forks.. Who forget to wash their hands for days together.:haha:
CSK Fan Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 You're right that we need to strike the right balance. Unfortunately' date=' the pendulum has clearly swung the other way even in the US - be it with the EPA or Social Services or the school systems. Agencies with power keep broadening the definition of what constitutes environmental or social abuse, often in their zeal to justify their own existence or be politically correct. Yesterday, a public school student who wrote an essay about why gay parents should not be allowed to adopt was found guilty of bullying! [b']Why? To appease the gay population who somehow felt victimized by an essay, for crying out loud. When govt agencies bend over backwards, become overzealous, and throw common sense out the window, it's time to step back and rein them in a bit. Err, the essay was considered bullying because it called gay people as abominations and called for their death, not just because of the stance the student took
DomainK Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 how do you know that? I dont know, I am assuming.
Brainfade Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Err' date=' the essay was considered bullying because it called gay people as abominations and called for their death, not just because of the stance the student took[/quote'] Do you have a link to the actual essay? I tried, but couldn't find it. All I read was it referenced the bible as saying "Homosexuality is a sin punishable by death." Regardless, I don't think it is tantamount to bullying. Narrow-mindedness? Yes. Ignorance? Yes. Bullying? No. The school should've pulled the essay and let it go. If he took directly accosted the kid who was being raised by gay parents and got in his face - that is bullying. I'm having George Orwell Thinkpol nightmares with this PC-crap running amok.

Tiger80 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Norway may hand over NRI kids to grandparents New Delhi: There seems to be an to an Indian couple's fight for their children in Norway. External Affairs Minister SM Krishna took up the matter at the highest level and sources say a solution may be in sight. The two children may possibly be handed over to their grandparents in India, sources said. According to sources, the Norwegian government will not oppose this in court and in return, the grandparents will have to give an undertaking that the children will get full medical care. SM Krishna spoke to his Norwegian counterpart and urged for an amicable situation. Earlier, he met Norway embassy officials on Monday. Krishna asked for the release and handover of the children to their parents or their grandparents in India. CNN-IBN The grandparents of the kids thanked the minister for his intervention in the matter. "I appeal to everyone to help us and raise attention about this incident. I am grateful for what SM Krishna has done. I hope all the efforts can bring back our child," they said. Earlier, Krishna instructed Indian Ambassador to Norway RK Tyagi to speak to Norwegian Foreign Ministry to ensure the release of two children. The matter has been pursued actively with Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the strong demarcates that were made in Oslo and here on January 5, the sources said. NRI couple Anurup and Sagarika Bhattacharya's children Abhigyan (3) and Aishwarya (1) were taken under protective care by Barnevarne (Norwegian Child Welfare Services), which claimed emotional disconnect with the parents, and placed them in foster parental care according to the local Norwegian court's directive. On January 12, 2011, an official of the Indian Embassy in Oslo visited the foster home where the young children are staying and ascertained that they were in good health, the MEA said in a release. Following the visit, the Embassy reiterated the concerns of Indian government to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the children were being deprived of the undoubted benefits of being brought up in their own ethnic, religious cultural and linguistic milieu. In May last year, Anurup and Sagarika lost custody of both their children, after authorities objected to them hand-feeding the baby and sharing a bed with the kids. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/norway-may-handover-nri-kids-to-grandparents/223562-3.html

Emotional disconnect my foot! How does taking the kids away help with this problem.They call themselves a developed nation and take away a breast fed child away from the mother and then separate the two siblings too.Bhaad mein jaaye aisee welfare states.
Tiger80 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Oslo: Two young Indian children who were separated from their parents in Norway by local child welfare services will be handed over to a family member. The agreement between the governments of India, Norway and the parents, will end weeks of a custody row that became a diplomatic stress-test for the two countries. The parents are named Anurup and Sagarika Bhattacharya. Anurup's brother, Aruna Bhash, who lives in Kolkata, will be made the formal custodian of three-year-old Abhigyan and one-year-old Aishwarya. "Heard things from the media...I haven't spoken to my brother who is in Oslo...This is the biggest relief for us. I want to thank the media, Mrs Brinda Karat and everyone else for their support," Aruna Bhash told NDTV. The Indian government will pay for Aruna Bhash to travel to Norway and get the children back to India. Last May, child welfare services placed the children in foster care because they found the Bhattacharyas guilty of "an emotional disconnect" with their children. The Bhattacharyas say cultural misunderstandings are to blame - the Norwegian authorities objected to the children being fed by hand and sleeping in the same bed as their parents. Foreign Affairs Minister SM Krishna had told Norwegian diplomats and his counterpart that the children must be brought back to India and to an environment in which they are culturally and linguistically comfortable. Sources tell NDTV the decision swung in favour of the parents after the Ministry of External Affairs made it clear that Norway's charges were not acceptable and they were, in fact, just cultural differences. The Indian government will also have to stand guarantor for the custody agreement. Back in India, the grandparents of the two children are anxious for the family to get back together. "I want to thank the whole country for supporting us. I can't wait to hug my grandchildren," said Monotosh Chakraborty, grandfather of the children. These are the first real relief for the desperate parents who for months now have been living a nightmare, one that will hopefully end soon. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/norway-vs-nri-parents-childrens-paternal-uncle-to-get-custody-170291 Good work by Indian media as they put enormous pressure on Indian and Norway govt

Malcolm Merlyn Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Custody be damned and agreement be middle fingered.Let the children come to India.
Stuge Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 handing 3 and 1 year old kids to grandparents ,but not parents ?? WTF is world coming to .
achilles Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 We lack the guts to tell the Norwegians to hand over the kids to the parents. Our EA Minister was saying things like "respect the Norway court", "agreement that suits both parties being worked out", etc. :facepalm:
Manny_Pacquiao Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 why is everyone complaining feeding kids with bare hands is gross and primitive, think of the bacteria being transferred having kids sleep in the same bed with parents, even worse, for al we kno the parents could be paedos the norwegian authorities took the right precautions

Either the lactating mothers' mammas be locked with some chastity-belt sort of contraption - with keys kept with the Government or be allowed to breast feed only under ICU level of medical observation.
