[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	This can't be a true story. Damn how ignorant the Child protection services can be. A major story in The Hindu, Indiaâ€™s most serious English daily, has caused shock and consternation among readers here. Two young Indian children in Norway have been taken into foster care. Their mother Sagarika was accused by the Norwegian Child Protection Service last May of being unfit to take care of her two-and-a-half-year-old son, Abhigyan, and five-months-old daughter, Aishwarya. The reasons cited will appear bizarre to the average Asian, African and I imagine, South American parent. The child rights authorities decided to visit the Bengali home when baby Aishwarya was still being breast fed. The Norwegians decided, after observing her for one hour every week, that the mother, Sagarika, was unfit because she overfed the boy and fed him with her fingers. Anyone who knows Asian or African cultures would know that we eat with our fingers and itâ€™s normal to feed children using your fingers, not a spoon. Many Asians overfeed their kids (when they have food and donâ€™t come from impoverished families). Another black mark against the young Bengali parents was that the boy slept with his father. Most Indian families, except the ultra-westernised ones, always keep young children in their beds. Asian people are appalled at the idea of babies and young children being in separate bedrooms. Itâ€™s viewed as another barbaric, misguided Western custom. How can they possibly leave a baby alone all night in another room, all by itself! I know Norway is not terribly multicultural, but it seems to me ludicrous that they should be allowed so terrorize a young, foreign mother, deeming her unfit, with no respect for her culture, background or social customs. Social service departments are often callous and frightening. Their ability to take away children from their parents is nightmarish, like something out of a horror film. http://www.newint.org/blog/2012/01/23/indian-child-norwy/ -----signature----- Fight white guilt and injustice by going to a Native American casino and gamble your money away. me pic http://acf.curbjaw.com/armchair.htm Formerly known as :armchair warrior, sysphus, fallen_deamon http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form

	The United States is full of ignorant people which is why they need a nanny state. If they had a competant education system like they used to have OR the worlds best and brightest still wanted to move to the US to get out of their own crappy countries, it wouldn't be the case. So you know, in many parts of the world and all through history, mothers would chew food for a baby and then feed it to the baby using their fingers. This was perfectly normal. Of course, todays child services being the brainless retards they are, would probably put you in jail over it. -----signature----- I survived to the end and got nothing out of it, but hey.
