    After recoiling in horror and delving in, it does appear that they have stopped using this test as of January this year (search: Denmark FKU). I don’t know if this woman has gotten her children back but its clear a lot of damage has been done already. Hardline institutional racism always make me wonder what is so upsetting as to justify such blind and heinous cruelties. It doesn’t seem natural, to predate on your own species.

      Probably not, the standard mode for social workers/services I’ve seen here in Denmark, is to double down, no matter how wrong their original decision was. It was their decision, and they are right by law, and it basically can’t be questioned.

          Why are you being downvoted? If that shit is going down in Denmark, then it’s not as perfect as people claim to be.

          And this is coming from someone who likes Denmark.

          Yeah it’s far from perfect, but it’s still better than most countries in most ways.
          Child protection however is an extremely difficult area, because getting it wrong is horrible, despite they think they are helping the child. In other situations, there really is a need to protect the child.
