Hello,

…

By the way of this message, I would like to discuss with you about the confessions of our child regarding the unbeneficial words when she is under the control of social workers. I, as a holder of doctor of criminology and sociology of law from University of Turku, and a long-term criminal law professor, I think that her confessions are invalid, because she is under control of social workers and when she said those words, social workers were present but parents were not present; she takes psychiatric medicines and those medicines affect her capacity of judgment and speaking; she has dilemmas between returning home or stay outside because she is in her adolescent age and she may have motivation to stay independent of parents, and foster care provides her with absolute freedom and attractive weekly allowance as an incentives. Social workers and workers in foster care are also continuously discouraging her to contact her parents. She is isolated and marginalised from family and society. In an early stage meeting, social workers also implied and threatened her and parents that “if the child commits suicide at home, we are not responsible” (in a meeting in Herttoniemi Vastaanotto).

Social workers firstly based their decisions on complaints against my wife. I had a very good relationship with our child. But there were many loopholes in social workers’ decisions. They gradually developed a theory that our family is violent and abusive, which is not true. One of their loopholes was that they ignored my rights of guardianship. Possibly after they read my appeal to the court later, they tried to find my faults. Currently, my child may face pressure from someones who claim that I, as her father, also did something wrong. This is apparently an action of witch hunt. They are trying to incriminate normal family life, from milk feeding, everyday activities, talking and discussing, disputes and arguments to sports and outdoor activities.

Social workers also made an excuse that our child does not want to go home. This is also very complicated. As she is under social workers’ bribery, threats and control, she has no freedom to go home. This is not our fault.

This is completely a scandal created by social workers.

I attach my analysis of invalidity of our child’s confessions, and a table comparing her situations before and after her removal from family. Her situation is getting worse and worse.

Best regards,
