Prime minister Mette Frederiksen (S) stated goal of more children than today, it must be forcibly removed from the home, as well as to tvangsfjernelserne general should be done earlier than today, does not meet with much support from the government’s supporting parties.
Responses will come, after Zandra Berthelsen (also known as Tønderpigen) wrote an open letter to Mette Frederiksen, who was brought in the newspaper on Saturday.
In 2005, it emerged that the now 25-year-old Zandra Berthelsen for years had been trapped in a true nightmare, where she was sexually abused by his father, who also hired her out as a sexslave to other adult men.

In spite of the terrible experiences met Mette Frederiksen’s desire to place more children outside of the home do not support at the 25-year-old woman.
– the Child’s best interests is not to make the child family-loose, just like you did with me. To remove the child from the parents, but a child has the right to a family. If the child wants it. In my case it was all about, that I would have had the opportunity to see grandparents, great-grandparents, cousins. It was not at all done anything out of. So I ended up being very principal, told Zandra Berthelsen Saturday.
Her views of the meetings the backing of, among others, Anne Sophie Callesen, børneordfører for the radical.
– It makes a great impression (the letter, red.) and confirm me in that, although there may be cases where it may be important to place the previous, but not least, to have the resources to respond early in the notifications, then it means the biological ties and to be in a family a great deal to us as people.
the Party is therefore not prepared to vote for the legislation in the higher the degree the requirements for municipalities to take more children and remove them in the past, she says. Instead should be on whether the responsibility for dealing with these cases must be moved partially or completely away from the municipalities.
Also, SF is skeptical of the government’s target.
– It is not the number of placements, which is important to us. The important thing is whether the kids get the help they need. I have no doubt that we can strengthen the previous efforts in general. But it is never the number of placements, there is a goal in itself, says Trine Torp, socialordfører for SF.
She stresses at the same time, that municipalities to a greater extent than today have to be compensated for the expenses associated with the placement of children. At a press conference on Monday, the government proposed also to change the rules so municipalities in less degree, must bear the costs.
It looks so difficult for the government to procure a majority to change the rules so that more children removed from the home. Nor with the main opposition party is there immediately to get help.
I think actually, that in a welfare society like ours would be a success, if one had reduced the number of tvangsanbringelser, says Anni Mathiesen, socialordfører for the Left.
Ekstra Bladet has tried to get a comment to Zandra Berthelsens open letter from Mette Frederiksen, but it has not been possible over the weekend.
