I am writing in support of my
brother, Bodnariu Marian Constantin (Marius),
a Romanian citizen, his wife Ruth Johanne Bodnariu,
a Norwegian citizen, and their 5 children (Eliana, Naomi,
Matthew, John and baby Ezekiel who is only three
months old) with joint citizenship in Romania and
Norway.
Marius and Ruth, former members
of Philadelphia Pentecostal Church in
Bucharest, married in Romania, moved to / settled
in Norway approximately 10 years ago to start, and raise, a
family in Ruth’s hometown.
This past Monday, November 16th,
Child Welfare Services (Barnevernet) “kidnapped” the two
oldest children (Eliana and Naomi) from school without the knowledge
of their parents. Barnevarnet, accompanied by police, then came
to the Bodnariu home and forcibly took custody of the two older
boys (Matthew and John); leaving a devastated Ruth at home with only three
month old Ezekiel while Marius was at work. Marius promptly came home from
work to understand what was taking place and, together with Ruth, visited the
police station and Barnevernet to resolve the situation. Because
Ruth was crying and devastated by the events, Barnevernet and four
policemen showed up at their family home on Tuesday, November 17, without
any court order or documentation, and also took 3 month old Ezekiel
on the stated grounds that the mother posed a danger to her child.
On Wednesday, November
18, Barneverent notified Ruth that her kids were
separated into two families and that the
children already started integrating into their new
lifestyle. The Barnevernet also told Ruth that “The kids don’t
even miss you, what kind of parents are you?” On the other hand, the
children are told that their parents abandoned them and that they do not
care! These actions of the Barneverent terrifies any normal parent
who loves their children!
What happens in
Norway via the Barneverent, under the guise of “child welfare,” is outrageous and unfathomable! Children are considered property of the state;
a premise utilized by the Barnevernet to abduct children and place them in
foster family care for any unchecked/unregulated/unaudited reason as upheld by
the Barnevernet. A quick search on the internet
will yield results highlighting hundreds of cases of abuse and testimonies from
affected families. The Barnevernet has a history of prevalently focusing their
efforts on immigrant families or on families in which one of the parents is of a different nationality (as in my brother’s case, Romanian).
Documentation has
evidenced that the Barnevernet has a long history of acting on unimaginable
grounds including:the father putting the child to do certain chores in the
home, the baby sleeping in the same bed as
the parent or the child weighing one kilogram lighter than the national average
for his/her age group. Norwegian children are taught in school to notify their
teachers if a parent asks them to do their homework, or do something that a child in their childishness finds unappealing, so that teachers help the
children get rid of such parents. Children are interrogated in great detail at
school about their home lifewith what can be interpreted as malicious intent
for identifying grounds on which the Barneverent
can“interpret” seemingly fickle and unsubstantiated grievances. Furthermore,
the Barnevernet is NOT objective in its actions and proceedings. Quite to the contrary, the Barneverent
incentivizes and rewards its employees for “generating” leads that can
create to case work for the organization.
I testify, and
vehemently vouch, for Marius and Ruth having given birth to and raised a
“normal” family with Christian values.
These parents love their children and have taken every imaginable step in raising their children with loving caring in all aspects of their
well-being. The tearing apart of their
family by the Barnevernet is a living nightmare for Marius and Ruth. Their hope is founded, and rests, in God; He
can change any situation and He is ALWAYS in
control!
Please pray for
Marius, Ruth and their children as God CAN give them deliverance out of this
difficult trial! God bless you and thank you for your prayers and support!
Below are just a
sampling of the many articles about the Barnevernet and its
attack on families residing/visiting Norway:
