Now we're in December and Christmas sure is sneaking up upon us.

Last time it was 2 months since I had seen my siblings, well, now it's two months until it's been one year since they were taken away.

They're still away.

Damn it.

... apartment. It's not big, but it'll do justice.

In other news, I haven't seen my siblings for over 2 months now. Waiting is sure a beautiful joy. :sarcasm:

There's nothing new going on, generally just waiting for stuff to happen (and hopefully I've got myself a little web-project that I'm getting really well paid for).

Thanks for reading though. ]]> ~Nitrolinken Part ICan'tBotherToWriteANumberHere http://Nitrolinken.deviantart.com/journal/18252450/ http://Nitrolinken.deviantart.com/journal/18252450/ Sat, 10 May 2008 05:50:48 PDT
So, I'm feeling a tad tired. It's been several months since they left. We're going to this court in June, at the 19th. Until then, there's nothing we can do, except for waiting.
On a sidenote, I got exams coming up next week. D:

Yeah.

Hi. I'm amazed you're reading this. You know, many people don't think about that it's the little things in life that can generate great joy.
The fact that you're reading this is generating some joy for me. It's not a big thing, but thanks.



So, on to the point...

Since "part 1" there's happend a lot.
a) I completely forgot about part 2
b) I completely forgot about part 3
c) Someone that made a comment made me remember what I said about part 3
d) A whole lot more

I'm going to rant a bit about d).

There's soon been almost 6 weeks since the siblings were taken away. Six weeks that I'll probably never forget. The house has been remarkably silent and I have to admit - I miss the background noise.

Now, I'm going to do a quick note on what happend with our temporary complaint against the withdrawal of the siblings. Mark the fact that the complaint was just temporary, only to try get the back while this processes...

I'm going to spoil the result for you right way.
DENIED


According to our lawyer the judge played it "safe". Simply making sure the children wouldn't suffer, and instead letting it up for the final process. Fine. It could've been worse. (We could have gotten them back just for the CPS to return and take them one day after.)

What annoys me is the fact / arguments that they used against us in that complaint.


    • According to witnesses (the persons currently in possesion of the kids) they are very independant. They go to bed without any problems and are very good at normal / daily tasks like eating, making thieir beds, dressings. Therefore we believe that the kids have been left alone for long times, since they're so independant and well knowledged.

    I have no reply to that. Yeah, they're independant. We've learnt them how to do things themselves. It'd be way too hard for their mom if she was to wash them each night when they're about to go to bed. So, we learnt them how to do it. They've never been alone. Wherever my dad and his wife went out, I'd be there taking care of them. It's a lie so far off that it sort of hurts.
    Just a note to you when you get kids: Make sure you make your kids completely dependant on you - you might get to keep your family in one piece.
      The judge who asked the kids (in a proper way, with competent personal) was apparently not good enough for the CPS. "I have my doubts that that is the case, my tummyfeeling says something diffrent."

    Fun, I mean, it's always fun when someone places themselves above the authorities. Saying the authorities are completely wrong. Really fun.


    • I should have written some more. I really haven't been bothered to write so much. I'm a bit tired of this all now.

    If you haven't read part 1 of this story, please do so.

    Fine. I'm slow! Yeah, I should've updated this a bit sooner. But hey, I'm not some immortal person who can pause time.

    Now, as the title says, the details is what I'm going to talk a bit about today.
    Since some might wonder what this concerning message is about, I'll try to explain it all for you (or whoever that's actually reading). Note that I will write things from my view. Although, if you wonder about anything, feel free to ask or comment.

    As I said in the last entry, the main reason they took them away was because of a concerning message from the kindergarden.
    I didn't actually say what the concerning message was, and since one may easily imagine the wrong things happening, I'll do my best to explain in a neutral way.

    The list...

        The children have said during a conversation with their friends that they were very afraid of the garage, because dad usually takes them there at the nights / evenings.

      This one is particulary interesting. You know when you were younger? Did you parents ever say "Go to sleep, or we'll... (something)"? If not, ok. If they did, ok. My dad sometimes says when my siblings are being really unconsentrated that if they don't get in bed and sleep, then he'll take them up to the garage and they'll have to sleep there. However, he's never actually done it. Just like your parents (most likely) didn't (if they ever said such).



        One of the siblings had to help mom watch some clothes by tossing some of her clothes inside the washing machine, because she were using way too much clothing each day, said mom.

      That's absolutely true. One day my sibling named Mari started swapping clothes a lot. Now, we're 5 kids (including me) in this house. If each and all of us were to use two pairs of clothes each day, that'd be too much. So, when she started doing that, my dad's wife (their mom) asked her if she could toss some clothes in the washing machine, so that'd she would see how much work there actually is. She stopped swapping clothes so often after that, even though all she did was to take her clothes and toss it in the washing machine.



        The kids have been locked inside their rooms over several days, they had to be locked inside at the night.

      The "reason" is a bit diffrently formulated on the paper we got. So, yes. True as well, though, not as the paper formulates.
      Now, just before the christmas days last year, we saw something rather strange.
      One day when we stood up and went downstairs, all the candy in the 5 bowls we had was gone!We took a little peak at the triplets room, and yes, we found a lot of chocolate and candy paper. We talked to them about it, blah blah, but the next night, some of the tools at the kitchen had been moved around a bit. Also, the oven was actually on! It was luckily on the lowest "heat", so it wasn't that hot. Therefore we started locking their doors when we went to bed (around midnight) and we unlocked it as soon as we woke up. They had this pot / jug which they had if they wanted to pee. It was big and made for peeing, so we didn't toss a big box if that's what your imagination is thinking.
      This lasted for 4 days, which we stopped locking the door, and since then we've never had this problem. I'm glad we haven't as I'd really not like to see this house burn down.


    Those are the main reasons. Also, they base it on previous things like "they weren't interested in co-operating", "problems communicating with the parents" and such on. The fun part here is that we have been communicating and been interested in co-operating. Two years ago we even asked for help, because my dad's wife got some problems with her back. We didn't get help. Fun, right?

    The last thing I'm going to write now, well, that's the simple fact that each time they've contacted us about "supervising" and looking over the situation in the house we've said yes, as long as the ones that would b... ]]>     ~Nitrolinken     Part 1 - Present tense / The shock http://Nitrolinken.deviantart.com/journal/17164914/ http://Nitrolinken.deviantart.com/journal/17164914/ Tue, 04 Mar 2008 07:50:59 PST I've been a member here for almost two years and it's been a wonderful two years.

    However, a lot of things have been going through my mind lately, especially with my family. It's been a couple of tough and really strange weeks, and for now I'll take you through it.
    Please note that this is a true story, this is not an attempt to make some sort of litterature, but rather to get this out of my mind.

    Well, here it is. Three weeks ago, I was dragged out of class. Why?
    Apparently there was someone from the "Health & Social department" in our county. I didn't know more than that while walking down to the office.

    What he had to tell me completely blew my head off my shoulders. I couldn't have been anymore shocked than I was at that moment. When I look back at it, I don't think I actually understood what was going on, as I was looking at this person, expecting him to jump up and say "Early April joke!", but believe me, he didn't.
    He told me that the CPS had taken my siblings away due to a concerning message. As I've said, I was stunned. :O
    You may wonder, why didn't I believe him? Well, for you to understand that I'll have to explain things in a bit more detailed manner.

    I moved to my dad and his wife last year in May. Now, my dad got 5 children, triplets and two sons. I'm one of the sons, the other son is currently 7 years old. The triplets are 5, but will turn 6 this month.
    Also, my mom got another daughter.

    So, the CPS had taken my siblings, in this case, the triplets (they're all girls) and my littlebrother.

    They did this around 1 PM, and immediately came to the kindergarten and to our school and picked up my little brother. None of us got to talk to them before they were taken away. This was honestly making me rather furious. I can not explain what I felt that day after coming home. Though, that wasn't the end of my feelings - there was more to come. :|
    Coming home was rather strange. For some reason I didn't want to go home to my dad, even though I knew perfectly well that there wasn't anything "wrong" in the way my dad and his wife treat my siblings. I'm not saying our family is perfect, I'm not saying we don't have our flaws, but what I am saying is that the NCPS had no base for using the paragraph they used to take them away.
    Now, to clarify a bit on that, they used the strongest / most brutal paragraph that exists in the Norwegian laws regarding the protection of children. Pretty much, they're saying we're raping them, beating them, locking them inside dark rooms for several days at a time. Perhaps that is a bit of an exaguration, but that's what this paragraph is used for in reality. If you want to read that very paragraph, here's a link for you. Refer to section 4-6.

    Now, my dad doesn't work at home, he got a job in Bodø (norwegian city) where he blows things to pieces. He's good at it as well. Anyway, my dad got a call about this from the NCPS, saying that he had to come to their local offices for "information" regarding this. It took some seconds before he understood what was going on. You may not know this, but that's actually a fault in the process, they have to tell both parents at the same time. They didn't here, and that's a pro for us. :)

    We did get a paper from them which was explaining our rights, why the kids were taken away, etc. Let me point it out again, this is the most strict paragraph they can use.

    So, I'm going to continue to tell the tale, it's just that right now I don't feel like writing it all down. I'll update this post when I'm ready to write some more.

    Then, I got work to do, and recently i got my gradebook for this term. :D I might aswell say YAY, but I'm not satisfied with them, they were better last term, and I've been a bit slappy the last months, so I guess I'll have to make a better effort this term. :)

    Today I've been thinking of actaully submitting something into deviantART, since I feel that's excatly what I haven't been doing lately. :( Sad? No, I'm just tired, and bored. (Yet another reason to do something...)
    My website isn't done, I haven't really done anything in a while, so I guess I should continue where I left off.

    Well, this was my little "post" for now, maybe I'll get my fingers moving and post another one later, or simply edit this one.
