We are living in a tremendous and never ending flow of information, so most likely this will pass your attention. But maybe, maybe you are one of those people who will find a minute to stop and help out spreading an important message.
In the beginning of the´ 80s, a personality disorder was discovered within a young boy in Norway. The experts understood the reasons to his problems, but all together it was decided that he could stay in his home.
Thirty years later sixty-nine people was shot dead, mostly young people, in an event that probably no one in Scandinavia missed. Hundreds of lives were crushed in the wake of it. Now, you may think that a massacre like this is unusual, so this message is going to the wastebasket anyway. You yourself haven’t had any inconveniences from this, it’s not about you really, and you may think that this must be someone else’s problem, not yours.
But when the school bell rings for the children to go home, many children goes home to exactly such an environment which caused this massacre. All of us need to think about the fact that next time it might be our own child or grandchild, or someone else dear to us who gets cheated, abused, raped or murdered. Suddenly, it becomes your problem too, doesn’t it? It’s everybody’s problem. In fact, this is happening randomly all the time, even if it it’s not sixty-nine people at the same time that stops breathing or get crushed in other ways.
When it happens in our own vicinity and our own lives get crushed, we get really, really upset and starts thinking that it would have been good if the perpetrator in an early state of life had received the proper attention and help to redirect his or her development.
The Convention of the rights of the child, is becoming law in an increasing number of countries, but without people’s courage, knowledge and power of action, these children will still be lost. I have repeatedly witnessed flaws regarding children’s safety, and many of them is doomed to stay in a destructive environment. Every instance states that: “Now, we have done all we can,” well aware of the fact that the problems will continue. One by one they fall between chairs. The risk for them developing a personality disorder then increases with every day passing.
When personality disordered parents are involved, everything gets so confusing. The children may, from authorities and also civilians, receive a floating pad, when they in fact need a life raft to save themselves. This is because nobody believes in them telling the truth. We can not provide them with a floating pad in the middle of a storming sea, and then keep our fingers crossed they´’ll be okay, or pretend that we really care. They are living in a home where they may turn out just like their parents, or maybe even worse.
If we only for a second calculate the costs for the society that these, as children neglected people causes, it will be billions. It is legal costs, therapy, treatment regarding Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, physical injuries, sick reports, police operations etc.
Remember, children growing up today are, and will always be our children’s and grandchildren’s fellow human beings. It’s not about my children. It’s not about your children. It’s about our children.
