Advice to Ukrainian Refugees: Don’t Go to Sweden if You Have Children!
Thousands of children, especially migrants and Muslims, are kidnapped every year by Sweden’s social services.
“Where are you …. my children?”
“My children … where are you?”
“My children … it’s my fault that I’ve brought you to this country.”
This is the plea of a Syrian father whose children were stolen from him by Sweden’s Social Justice System, known as the “Social.”
Sweden opened its doors to Syrian refugees fleeing war and brutal dictatorship. But many Syrians feel that they now live in a worse tyranny.
In response, the hashtag #Stop_Kidnapping_Our_Children (In Arabic: #أوقفوا خطف اطفالنا ) has gone viral.
“They Kidnapped my four children and another child after three years. My wife gave birth to an infant in the hospital, and after five minutes, he was removed from the hospital and taken to this building”, the father says.
In 2014 alone, “Social” removed 32,000 children from their families, and every year thousands of children are taken and given to “good” foster families (as the kidnappers like to call it!).
Why?
Social claims the children were abused by their Muslim parents.
But when infants are taken from their mothers only minutes after birth, when parents don’t even know what their babies look like, then who’s the abuser? We need an answer from you, “civilized” Sweden!
Another story that has been widely shared under the hashtag is the story of the 10-year old Moroccan child who buried his mother, Lina Elouhabi, who was found dead in her house.
What Sweden considers abuse is not ensuring children develop with Swedish cultural values.
Several months before, the boy’s school filed a complaint claiming that there was no food in the house. Elouhabi, a single mother, says that she was facing financial problems at the time. Instead of supporting her financially, the Swedish government (which provides the best welfare support in the world) took the child, against his will, from her claiming that she could no longer support him. Elouhabi committed suicide two weeks after failing to convince Social that she could retain custody of her son.
If Elouhabi was a white Swedish woman with blue eyes and blond hair, would Social treat her the same?
ISIS but with European look and clothes
Sweden has debunked “Muslim child Kidnappings” and claimed that the allegations could be traced to an Arabic website whose creators support the “Islamic State” or ISIS.
But wait! It’s not only one website or two. Muslim parents presented evidence and testimony. Many people have talked about it, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. This Swedish non-Muslim activist, for example, accused Social of lying to justify the systematic removal of Muslim children from their families.
Ok! Let’s assume that all Muslim parents who spoke out are ISIS supporters. Let’s put all Muslims aside and only take the word from non-Muslims and see what they say about Sweden.
Let’s review this report, titled “Child Removal Cases in Sweden and the Nordic countries” by the Nordic Committee of Human Rights ( NCHR).
The report was addressed to Mr. Thorbjørn Jagland, the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe. Is he an ISIS member?!
The report was prepared in 2012 and signed by “lawyers, former judges and law professors, professor of psychology and investigating psychologists, a medical doctor in Sweden, including the lawyers, members of the Steering Committee of The Nordic Committee for Human Rights — NCHR — For the protection of family rights in the Nordic countries (Nordiska Kommittén för Mänskliga Rättigheter — NKMR.”
Are all of the above ISIS members?! As far as I know, ISIS was formed in 2012. But I’ve not heard that it has reached Sweden in its first year or that some of its members became lawyers, judges, and professors!
What’s the purpose of the report?
… sending this request to the Council of Europe, the Minister Committee and the European Parliament for a thorough investigation of the very prevalent and destructive Child Removal Cases that are being practiced, on a daily basis, in the neighbouring Nordic countries.
And is the child separation policy applied to all citizens and residents of Sweden?
From our professional experiences, it appears that mostly young, sole parent families, economically and educationally weaker families, families with health challenges and immigrant parents are targeted by the social services in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
Recall the cases of the Syrian father and Moroccan mother presented at the beginning of the article. Both are examples of immigrant families. Also, Lina Elouhabi was a sole parent.
Who’s else is targeted? The report continues:
Also parents with religious and philosophical beliefs, which do not seem to be politically accepted, are often deemed as unsuitable parents, which invariably leads the social councils, acting upon the advice of the social workers, to remove the children from their families and place them in foster homes.
Let me guess, which religion today is not politically accepted? Hinduism? Buddhism? Judaism? Christianity? I think the answer is clear.
What Sweden considers abuse is not ensuring children develop with Swedish cultural values.
This very broad guideline is used to justify taking children and even infants for what parents consider illegitimate reasons. Reasons like, according to what families have shared:
- Having daughters wear the hijab
- Encouraging children to speak and learn Arabic
- Having children memorize the Quran
- Having children develop with and adopt Islamic family values, which are against sex outside marriage, adultery, and homosexuality.
And is this practice new?
Since the beginning of the 20th Century, Sweden and the Nordic countries all have laws which give the social welfare authorities the power to forcibly remove children from the care of their parents — on what appears to be arbitrary grounds — and place them in foster homes, or institutions, among total strangers. From 1920 to the present day, more than 300 000 children in Sweden have been removed from their homes and placed in compulsory foster care. The statistics for Norway, Finland and Denmark are a little lower.
Is there anyone still not convinced that the child kidnappings are not false allegations made by ISIS supporters? Did ISIS exist in 1920? Yes Indeed! But It’s an ISIS with an European look and clothes! It’s the Swedish government.
From Canada’s Residential Schools to Australia’s Stolen Generations
The practice of separating children from their parents is nothing new. We only have to peep a little bit into the past to find the roots of this crime.
The Guardian writes that “Between 2017 and 2018, the US government under Trump’s direction separated more than 5,000 children — the youngest just four months old — from their parents as an act of deterrence to other would-be asylum-seekers fleeing violence and persecution in Central America. As of September 2021, 1,677 children had yet to be reunited with their parents, including 381 children whose status and whereabouts were unknown.”
But this Canadian writer reminds her people of the Canadian Way of Separating children from parents — Trump was not the first to adopt this criminal policy.
It certainly happened here in Canada.
But there were no cameras to record their fury and sobs when over decades 150,000 First Nation, Inuit, and Métis children were rounded up, forcibly taken from their parents and carted off to residential schools.
There was no public outcry even though the children spent years away from their parents and often lost touch with them altogether. There were no investigations when children died at residential schools.
And why did Canada do that to its indigenous people?
The writer continues:
history has shown us over and over again what fate befalls people who have been dehumanized and demonized because of their race and culture.
Catholic churches administered the residential schools. The system was created to isolate Indigenous children from the influence of their own native culture and religion to assimilate them into the dominant Canadian culture.
There was also another way to force children to forget about their roots. For example, more than 20,000 indigenous children were separated from their parents and put up for adoption, mainly in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, and adopted by non-Indigenous families thousands of miles away.
Although the Canadian government apologized, Indigenous children today are far more likely to end up in foster care than non-Indigenous children.
In Australia, there exists a similar story. The Stolen Generations (or children) were the children of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent. The Australian federal and state government agencies and church missions removed them from their families.
It’s sad that Russia invaded Ukraine today. My advice for Ukrainian refugees who have children: don’t go to Sweden!
