Omsorgsovertakelse skal ikke være langsiktige i utgangspunktet, men det er vanlig praksis i fylkesnemnd og tingrett i barnevernsaker, stikk i strid med loven – uten at noen reagerer, unntatt familienes advokater (de fleste?) som iherdig prøver å gjøre dommerne oppmerksom på at de bryter menneskerettighetskonvensjonen som gjelder over norsk lov.
I saken K og T mot Finland, avsnitt 138, uttalte EMD følgende:
«As the Court has reiterated time and again, the taking of a child into public care should normally be regarded as a temporary measure, to be discontinued as soon as circumstances permit, and any measures implementing such care should be consistent with the ultimate aim of reuniting the natural parent and the child. The positive duty to take measures to facilitate family reunification as soon as reasonably feasible will begin to weigh on the responsible authorities with progressively increasing force as from the commencement of the period of care, subject always to its being balanced against the duty to consider the best interests of the child.»
Dette blir det altså syndet stort på i norske barnevernsaker.
