Christians around the world are uniting in support of a Norwegian
family whose five children were taken away by the government on
indoctrination charges. WORLD Magazine reports Marius and Ruth Bodnariu have been accused of Christian radicalism for raising their children with Christian beliefs.
According to WORLD, the Bodnariu’s two daughters were interrogated
after their school principal expressed concerns about their “very
Christian” upbringing. During questioning, the girls said that they
sometimes hid things from their parents to avoid being punished.
One daughter also reported that Marius Bodnariu had shaken her
3-month-old baby brother “as a rag” when he reached up and pulled the
glasses off his face.
Bodnariu refutes the claim, saying that he bounced the baby with delight after he reached up to him for the first time.
Marius’ brother Daniel Bodnariu wrote, “Children can see things
differently, and sometimes misinterpret some of our actions, or certain
events. You can easily manipulate a child to say something that is not
true. The law in Norway gives almost total credibility to the child and
none to the parent. Some situations are seen differently by children
[and] it seems a monstrosity to exploit this to the detriment of the
family.”
After questioning, the government removed the two daughters and three
sons from the Bodnariu’s custody. The five children are now in separate
foster homes. None of the children show any signs of abuse.
