'Removing my child was illegal' - BBC World Service #shorts

In November 2024, Keira Kronvold’s third child Zammi was taken from her by Danish social services, just two hours after birth.

The issue of Greenlandic child removals in Denmark spans decades and has affected hundreds of Inuit families living in Denmark who claim to have experienced racism and discrimination, particularly in relation to so-called ‘parenting competency tests’. In May 2025, the tests were banned for use on Greenlandic people as they were deemed to be culturally and linguistically inappropriate. This has led to Danish authorities officially reviewing hundreds of cases. Despite the high court decision, Zammi won’t be returning to Keira for now because of another legal ruling. Keira and her lawyer plan to appeal this. ---------------- This is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.
