I agree that there are far too many people who are likely not very qualified to be having kids. But that said, i don't think anyone or organization can ever be objectively qualified to deny anyone the right of not just a human being, but that of all living beings.

Especially on the grounds of any 'competence' or lack thereof, not to mention of course, heritage or circumstance.

These laws can never be a good thing. The door to abuse is too easy to open with them.

Were seeing the consequences in the US in real time of people unqualified to be parents. They vote for destruction and raise their kids to do the same.

Or are you just jealous envious that she's accomplished more than you?

Point of order,

Jealosy is a desire to own and keep from others something that is yours. It is in the same vein as zealotry.

Envy is wanting to own and take from others something that they have. It is in the same vein as coveting.

These are not synonymous, nor interchangeable.

Ah yes.. Let’s increase your childhood trauma with government approved trauma for you and your newborn baby. Because you didn’t follow a rule that we just made up, your newborn will have attachment issues, stress, development delays and feeding difficulties.

And sure our municipality has admitted to faults in its processes and said it was seeking to ensure the family’s legal requirements were met and “the best possible solution” for the family. We just don’t keep it simple and give your baby back.

We will need to “think” about it for weeks or months, since our brains aren’t capable of processing the consequences of our actions , rules or immoral decision making. “We just follow orders”. So you just have to wait till the baby is 2 years old or something, idk #yolo. Welcome to hell.

Danish authorities take one-hour-old infant despite law banning the tests on people with Greenlandic backgrounds

A Greenlandic mother’s one-hour-old baby was removed from her by Danish authorities after she underwent “parenting competence” tests – despite a new law banning the use of the controversial psychometric assessments on people with Greenlandic backgrounds.

Ivana Nikoline Brønlund, who was born in Nuuk to Greenlandic parents and has played for the Greenlandic handball team, gave birth to her daughter, Aviaja-Luuna, on 11 August in a hospital in Hvidovre, near Copenhagen, where she lives with her family.

An hour later, the local municipality took the infant into foster care. Brønlund, 18, says she has since only seen her daughter once, for an hour, when she was not allowed to comfort the baby or change her nappy.

The “parenting competence” tests, known as FKU (forældrekompetenceundersøgelse), were banned on people with Greenlandic backgrounds earlier this year after years of criticism by campaigners and human rights bodies, who argued successfully that the tests were racist because they were culturally unsuitable for people from Inuit backgrounds. As the law came into force in May, campaigners are asking why Brønlund was still subjected to a test.

The Danish social affairs minister, Sophie Hæstorp Andersen, has said she was concerned by the reports and had requested the municipality behind the decision, Høje-Taastrup, to explain its handling of the case. “Standardised tests should not be used in placement cases involving families with a Greenlandic background. The law is clear,” she said.

Brønlund’s case has prompted protests in Greenland, with further protests planned in Nuuk, Copenhagen, Reykjavík and Belfast.

Brønlund was told that her baby was removed because of the trauma she had suffered at the hands of her adoptive father, who is in prison for sexually abusing her. The municipality told her she was “not Greenlandic enough” for the new law banning the tests to apply, despite her being born in Greenland of Greenlandic parents.

Local authorities started the testing on her in April – after an announcement in January that the ban was coming in. They completed the tests in June, at which point the law was in force. Brønlund was told three weeks before giving birth that her child would be taken away.

The municipality declined to comment, saying it was bound by confidentiality. But it has admitted to faults in its processes and said it was seeking to ensure the family’s legal requirements were met and “the best possible solution” for the family.

Really? Because a crackhead with a baby always ends so well.

"She deserved to get raped at 17 by her step father"

Happiest place in the world...

Denmark is consistently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world, often coming in second place, just behind Finland, according to the World Happiness Report. Factors contributing to this happiness include strong social support, trust, and a high quality of life

LMFAO

These laws can never be a good thing. The door to abuse is too easy to open with them.

My first thought too, who tf thinks its a good idea to remove a newborn from their mother for something like that??

What the actual fuck? I wasn't understanding this... Still not sure if I am bc it seems so incomprehensible.

They took her newborn baby bc she (the mother) was a victim of sexual abuse? Wtf is the logic behind that?

IMO you shouldn't be allowed to have kids until you've proven you can raise them to live a healthy life in our society.

I'm done letting just a creampie be the test for parenthood.

If we want to responsibly control our populations to be sustainable then we have to transition to a different system of checks and balances for population.

Maybe it's the myth that people who experienced abuse as kids will themselves become abusers. It's bullshit. Sure, some do, but the majority just deal with their trauma as best they can and are regular people.

Then the problem becomes "who decides?"

In this case, you have a Danish government telling a Native Greenlander they arent't competent for... "reasons". I see a whole host of problems with this, notably institutional racism, of which the Western World is guilty of a whole hell of a lot of.

It's not a problem if we want to be serious about the issue, governments regulate it and we support sensible regulations as voters.

Yes I understand not everything works as planned in politics, but that's how it's done.
