Horne meets both support and skepticism – Aftenposten

It is absolutely horrible that society has failed to protect children in a better way so that they have lived with violence for years. We can not accept that children suffer. The steps that now proposed makes that child welfare can get past the relief efforts. It is very much sense in these proposals. Thus, it can avoid the necessity of care takeover, says Geir Bekkevold, Krf, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of family and culture committee.

Attention

Bekkevold believes such measures can help parents to be better parents, while helping kids. He believes more attention on children is necessary and he praises Aftenposten for having drawn attention to the subject through its series of articles Violence against children.

– It means that we politicians get more information and the We need, he says.

In several cases in recent years have revealed that children have lived with violence and threats in the home and the parents have refused child care services to intervene.

It is still very important that the child takes notice of concern seriously and investigate thoroughly. The CPS is dependent on trust. To order the parents to accept help is a double-edged sword. What instruments should be used if the parents say no and lock the door? And how one thinks that a person who comes into a home, should be able to contribute to change if parents do not want the person there, ask Rigmor Aasrud ​​(Ap) in family and culture committee.

Privacy

Aasrud ​​raises the question of who should decide whether a coercive measures shall be made, and how should one proceed in practice? She is also interested in human rights and the laws about privacy. – This must be carefully considered, says Aasrud, that still does not now reject the proposal.

She believes that child welfare authorities should be better able to investigate cases of child neglect and violence thoroughly.

-This is an area where there is a big unknown. At 126 domestic violence cases will the Norwegian courts over the next two months is positive. It shows that the police and the courts take these matters seriously. At the same time a search for shelters that domestic violence is still a major problem, says Aasrud.

Svein Harberg, (H) head of the family and culture committee believes Hornes proposal is good for both children and parents.

We want the people to determine their own lives and make their own choices. But there comes a point where the children are important to us. For your kids, this proposal awesome. It is important that children get help early. The proposal also has an important signaling effect; the government looks seriously at this, for the sake of the children, says Harberg.

The proposal will now out for consultation.
