| Message | We are not so sure about having lots of test. OOC: Here in Norway the government has tried to take the children away from idiots. Though they were no good at school, they are still perfectly capable of taking care of their children. |

| Message | Well, because the State has a duty of care over children who are in their care... to palm of children to any which joe blogs off the street will increase legal liability claims in the future. The State needs to know whether the children are going to be adequately looked after, do they not? |

| Message | Its to do with the best interests of the child... and the need to avoid certain situations (albeit rare) of abuse, neglect, and contact with drugs, alcohol, premature responsibilities (ie child forced to look after itself at a young age because of neglect), provision of adequate shelter, food and water, etc |
