http://www.christianitydaily.com/articl ... nation.htmChild welfare services in Norway have seized five children from a Christian couple on charges including “Christian radicalization and indoctrination,” according to a British-based religious rights advocate group.
The children of Ruth and Marius Bodnariu were taken by Norway’s child welfare services, the Barnevernet, on November 16. The Barnevernet seized the Bodnariu’s two oldest children out of school without notice to their parents. Agents also showed up at the family’s home where they seized the two sons and arrested Ruth, who was taken into custody along with her husband who was arrested while he was at work.
At the police station, Marius and Ruth were interrogated but were allowed to return home with only their baby and not the four other children. However, the baby was also taken into custody the following day.
In the following weeks, the parents were denied contact with their children. They were told that the children “had integrated well into their separate foster homes and didn’t miss their parents,” according to the Christian Institute.
A document secured by the family’s lawyer revealed that the parents were accused of being “radical Christians who were indoctrinating their children.”
We need to pray that the Bodnariu's children will soon be returned to them.
There is probably more to this story. Norway isn't a wacko country, which leads me to believe that the family in question are likely wackos. Perhaps they are Westboro Baptist-style wackos, or members of a pseudo-Christian cult like the Witnesses or the Mormons.
