An Indian couple have had their children taken away by Norwegian social workers because they were feeding them with their hands and sleeping in the same bed as them.

Anurup and Sagarika Bhattacharya lost custody of their three-year-old son and one-year-old daughter eight months ago after authorities branded their behaviour inappropriate.

This is an absolute injustice and complete cultural ignorance.

Please sign this petition and spread this post around. Return these children to their parents.

Reblogging so people have access to the change.org petition.

Signal boost.  This is unacceptable.  And their visitation, btw, would be only twice a year, for an hour each time.  Two hours a year, they would get to see their children, until the kids are 18, simply because of racism and xenophobia in the officials’ ideas of how to “properly” care for children.

“*GASP!* a family that’s actually CLOSE!? How absurd!” Westerners… Petition signed and shared.
