Stand Up for Families and Children
Dear fellow citizens, advocates, and concerned individuals,
For too long, the child protection system in welfare states like Finland has been allowed to operate unchecked, causing irreparable harm to countless children and families. The very institution that claims to protect children has instead become a force of destruction, one that isolates families, manipulates children, and fosters a cycle of suffering that benefits only those who profit from it.
This book is a wake-up call—a call to action for all of us to stand together and demand change. We cannot sit idly by while children are removed from their homes and placed in a system that exploits them for financial gain. We cannot ignore the broken families, the lives torn apart, and the generations of children who are denied the love, care, and identity they deserve.
The truth is clear: the current system is not serving the children it was meant to protect. It is a corrupt, self-serving machine that must be dismantled and reformed. But reform will not happen unless we take action—unless we raise our voices, demand accountability, and fight for the rights of families and children.
Here’s what we must do:
- Raise Awareness: Share the truth about the child protection system. Help others understand the dangers of the current model and the damage it causes to children and families. This is not an issue that can be ignored any longer.
- Demand Accountability: We must hold those in power—social workers, foster care agencies, and legal professionals—accountable for their actions. The system must be transparent and responsible, and the voices of families must be heard and respected.
- Support Affected Families: Stand in solidarity with families who are fighting for their children. Offer support, advocacy, and resources to help them navigate the broken system. Let them know they are not alone.
- Push for Policy Reform: Advocate for meaningful policy changes that prioritize the well-being of children and families over financial gain. Support legislative efforts that hold the child protection system accountable and protect the rights of parents and children.
- Demand Independent Oversight: The child protection system needs external oversight to ensure that it is operating ethically and fairly. Call for the establishment of independent bodies to investigate cases of abuse and ensure that children and families are being treated with dignity and respect.
- Build a Movement for Change: This fight is not one that can be won alone. Join forces with others who are working to expose the truth, support affected families, and push for reform. Together, we can create a stronger, more compassionate system that serves the needs of children and families, not the financial interests of a corrupt industry.
The time for change is now. The child protection system must be held to a higher standard, one that respects the rights of families, protects children from harm, and restores the trust that has been lost. It is our collective responsibility to fight for justice, transparency, and a system that truly works for the well-being of all children and families.
We cannot allow this broken system to continue. The damage it has caused is too great, and the stakes are too high. Stand with us, stand with families, and stand for the future of children. Let’s demand a better, fairer system for the next generation.
Join the fight. Take action today. Together, we can create a future where children are truly protected, families are supported, and justice is served.
