Two hours after Keira Alexandra Kronvold gave birth, her daughter was taken from her – the third child to be removed from her care following a now-banned assessment that disproportionately targets Inuit women in Denmark. Will she win the fight to get Zammi back?

    Racist colonialist shit. They did the exact same thing to Inuit and First Nations women and babies here in Canada.

    As a Canadian, all I can say is “hey wait a minute, I’ve seen this one before!”

    I’m shocked this sorta shit still happens in 2025, how did this come into being? Thus might be a rabbit hole I go down, who founded this program, who vetted it, etc

    After recoiling in horror and delving in, it does appear that they have stopped using this test as of January this year (search: Denmark FKU). I don’t know if this woman has gotten her children back but its clear a lot of damage has been done already. Hardline institutional racism always make me wonder what is so upsetting as to justify such blind and heinous cruelties. It doesn’t seem natural, to predate on your own species.

      Probably not, the standard mode for social workers/services I’ve seen here in Denmark, is to double down, no matter how wrong their original decision was. It was their decision, and they are right by law, and it basically can’t be questioned.

    And here I thought the US was the one that treated our indigenous citizens like crap
