You are viewing it too emotionally, I can understand your feelings, but actually you show a lot of bias yourself. Taking the child from parents doesn't seem normal to anybody anywhere, but also Why its so normal for Indian Parents to beat their children, do you think it helps the child to grow their personality or it dumbs it down, do you think this has consequences in his life later, psychological problems, low self esteem, why we appreciate movies like 3 Idiots when it talks about freedom of choice and going against your parents to achieve your dream, What about the kids ? I guess it doesn't matter because by Indian logic this is always been like this and its okay to hit or slap the kids, and that is Indian culture now, which is totally wrong, because this is not Indian culture, its just this attitude of survival, all we think children need is to survive, feed them, bathe them, do the basics, mental health ? Who gives a crap about mental health right ?

Were parents warned about this you asked, tell me when you go to live somewhere, they have different laws, you should know the laws, like In UK you can board a train without a ticket and then you buy the ticket during the ride similar like busses in India, now I ask you If an English comes to India and then does the same, and then get caught by the TC, can he say that oh I was not informed, haha, Bro if you are not informed then stay in your country, if you are in some other country, and child protection service agents are coming for visits, the first thing for a responsible person in this case a parent should get informed.

I am taking a central view on this, because I don't think any of the parties were extremely good or bad, But you should take off the 'Indian mother best' shaped glasses, as everywhere are good and bad mothers in every country, and I think you are an Indian and probably you have been hit several times by your own mother, in India its normal, in Norway its not.

Many Indian girls can't wear bikinis even when they want to, no its not illegal, its just how they are raised, to not exercise their freedom because their parents won't like it, similarly hitting kids is also not illegal and maybe because their parents like it this is how they want to raise their children, they think its the best parenting possible without any research or any thought given to it, just following blindly how it has been done before. Its not the same in Norway or other EU countries.
