How much did he know about the child trade?
It is rare You change your opinion about an important and important problem. But it happens.
And one of the issues in which I and many others have made a complete reversal is the one about international adoptions.
I never saw the risks of system errors and in -depth problems itself, but rather thought it was actually something very good: children who had not had parents could be adopted by safe families who dreamed of children.
So nothing less than a total shift in the vision of international adoptions. Now they are completely stopped
I remember wanted discussions in social media around 2013 or 2014, when many previous truths were questioned by a loud left with a focus on intersectionality and anti -racism. The kind of discussions that has since been reprimanded as derailed identity policy or part of a dangerous, ge waked movement that wants to sabotage everything. Occasionally many of us thought so Tobias Hübinettes Problems of international adoptions felt “a bit good”.
Perhaps we were still partially marinated in perceptions of a kind of Swedish exceptional, where Sweden that the nation had to do reasonably well should reasonably be good – otherwise someone would have responded? In a country as good as ours!
Monday was presented So the report of the adoption commission on international adoptions. The report was commented on in the Aftonbladet culture Kajsa Ekis EkmanHe discovered that “an era is over”. Just it is. The conclusion in the report is that “the company of transferring children must be stopped for adoption to Sweden”. So nothing less than a total shift in the vision of international adoptions. Now they have to be completely stopped.
Nowadays it feels like an obvious conclusion. An important reason for this is, among other things, Ekis Ekman, who has mapped out and revealed how adoptions have developed into trading in stolen children, such as here at the Aftonbladet Culture 2018. DN’s Award -Winning Review also has important “Children at all costs” been. And of course Hübinettes called the special work, texts and books to present adoption -critical perspectives in the wider debate.
The result is not only a radically changed legislation, but also a completely different view of the problem as a whole in Swedish hearts and brains.
Whatever As long as it is completely missing, the responsibility for responsibility is. It does not only apply Ulf Kristersson And his actions as chairman of the adoption center long ago. More people have had the responsibility to investigate and discover system errors. But most of them did not go further and became prime ministers.
His role is therefore clearly crucial to further assess, he is more than most The answer: What did you know? What have you done? Why haven’t you done anymore? What should you have known about? Why didn’t you listen to whistleblowers and critics?
IN Brief comments If the Kristersson report has said that “the information that now exists was not” and “I have trusting that the systems have worked”. At the same time, he “welcomed” that everything should come into the light. If the latter is the smallest, he must help it himself. For years there is a sharp criticism of how the Prime Minister’s actions as an adoptile lobbyist and accusations of misunderstandings or direct involvement in irregularities.
As Kajsa Ekis Ekman noted in 2018, for example, seven children from the Hengyang orphanage were mediated by the adoption center during Kristersson’s time as chairman. An orphanage whose manager and six employees were sentenced to prison for buying stolen children and sold it to other orphanages. The adoption center also brought 33 children from another Chinese orphanage in connection with human trafficking and 14 from a third orphanage that is involved in the sale of stolen children. These are some examples, there are more available.
When Kristersson says That the information was missing, then it is not true. He ignored 2004 when he was informed that children were stolen and sold in China. As chairman of the adoptive rate He also met for a few years A study that in 2003 near the careless and dangerous methods they devoted to, warned.
Connections with human trafficking will not be the responsibility of someone else in the transfer
This is a trauma, not just for the vulnerable children, their biological parents and their adoptive parents. It is also a trauma for the Swedish model, the Swedish view of adoption and for the entire Swedish system.
Ulf Kristersson has to answer once and for all, take any question mark, take the time to be interviewed as long as and as often as necessary when the responsibility and debts are now allocated.
It is not what we are talking about here, it is theft of young children who are sold on a market.
The place where we now land is a place where hardly anyone who was chosen could have been left in the world – if there were no extremely good explanations and a lot of transparency.
People’s life is spilled. Kristersson has continued, as a lobbyist for the adoptions and against regulations and control. It is not something that you shake off to change jobs. Connections with human trafficking will not be the responsibility of someone else in the transfer.
Sweden does not have Understanded or wanted to understand how amazing and reckless the system organized around international adoptions. We are forced to change when we gain more knowledge, participated in and listened to the discussions.
Many parents and children are sick there and also feel bad about the committee’s conclusions. A feeling assumed that their actually happy family statue is rejected that their family is placed under the snout, that the parents and the relationship are being interviewed. That this becomes an implicit accusation against them. This must be understood and consider. There is also a risk that parents who have done everything well, where everything is correct about adoption, is wrongly suspected.
That is why humility must be one of the keywords if we make up for what has been. The humility must also mean that Kristersson is not convicted of unprecedented, that one does not define its role as worse and greater than for political parties. But he must immediately start answers and open the conversation about the adoption rate and the decisions he made while he was chairman.
He must show in words and action that he not only wants to take responsibility for what happens tomorrow, but also for what happened yesterday.
