The EMD writes in its judgment that the case should be dismissed, as the complainants have not exhausted domestic remedies, that is, the case was not fully tried in the Norwegian legal system, before a complaint was sent to Strasbourg .
So the Human Rights Court cannot take the case to court.
The complainants have argued that in the circumstances of their case it would “undermine the spirit” of the Convention if they first had to go through a long struggle in the national judicial system.
They also stated that they have experienced being persona non grata in Norway.
This does not works.
Private of five children
The so-called Naustdal case led to violent demonstrations against Norway and Norwegian child welfare in the spring of 2016 in numerous cities in various countries.
The case concerns a Norwegian-Romanian Pentecostal family who was deprived of their five children.
They admitted to exposing their children to parental violence such as rice on the buttocks and pulling on the ear.
Collected
In November 2015, two black cars entered the courtyard where the Norwegian-Romanian family lived, in a small town in western Norway.
A child social worker asked the mother of the house to come and question her at the police station.
He took the couple’s two sons and informed him that his daughters, who were at school, had already been picked up by the child welfare service.
The next day, four policemen arrived and picked up the couple’s fifth child, a baby.
Massive demonstrations
The case attracted considerable international attention.
The brands brought together tens of thousands of people who lined up outside Norwegian embassies and consulates in protest against the Norwegian authorities’ treatment of the Norwegian-Romanian family.
On April 16, 2016, demonstrations against Norwegian child welfare were held in 63 cities around the world.
The family belongs to the Pentecostal church, which may help explain the great mobilization in several of the countries.
In other countries, other inflamed cases of child welfare may have been the cause of the mobilization.
The five children of the Norwegian-Romanian family were placed in three different foster homes.
Then the parents got the children back after an agreement with the municipality.
