Too Much of a Good Thing? Challenges to the Effectiveness of Digital Help Resources for Children and Youths
We investigate the accessibility of adult (professional) support for children encountering adverse online incidents. Emphasising the crucial role of adult intervention in serious cases, we underscore the significance of adults' awareness of children's online experiences. Drawing from the Norwegian context, a state with substantial child protection investment, we examine whether the abundance of support services may inadvertently compromise their …
What About Their Future? An Analysis of Child Protection Systems' Focus on the Future of Newborn Children in Care Order Decisions
This article examines whether and how governments and child protection systems consider the future of infants when making care order decisions. Infants' placements can be long‐term, so it is important to understand how the child's future is discussed—both generally and in relation to becoming an adult who can participate in society and live independently. The empirical analysis draws on unique data from new‐born removal judgements ( n = 216), cov…
Ethical inclusion of children in sensitive research
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child ‘UNCRC’ provides that children should participate in research about matters that concern them. However, this is not always realised, particularly in the context of risky, sensitive and morally complex experiences. Failure to include children causes lacunae in our understanding of the factors that influence their lives and well-being. In this article, we propose to conceptualise approaches t…
The Invisible Child
We know little about how children are portrayed in care order cases. Using a Child Equality Perspective ( cep ), which demands the child’s presence in proceedings even for children who are not capable of partaking fully in the decision-making process, we examine a sample of 216 judgments from 8 countries involving 220 infants. Our study reveals that the children remain largely invisible, but with clear country differences. Children’s invisibility…
Who is “The Child”? Best Interests and Individuality of Children in Discretionary Decision-Making
While the substantiation of “best interests” has received much attention, the question of how “the child” is conceptualised to ensure any action taken or decision made is in the particular child’s best interests has been largely neglected. In this paper, I argue that the lack of robust understanding of who “the child” is, means that we continue to make many generalisations and category-based assumptions in determining the child’s best interests. …
Simulating (some) individuals in a connected world
Braun explores the use of digital twin technology in medicine with a particular emphasis on the question of how such simulations can represent a person.1 In defining some first conditions for ethically justifiable forms of representation of digital twins, he argues that digital twins do not threaten an embodied person, as long as that person retains control over their simulated representation via dynamic consent, and ideally with the option to ch…
Breaking the cycle
A significant proportion of child protection cases involve care-experienced mothers, which reveals a continuous cycle of mothers who lose their children to social services after having been in state care themselves as children. While the importance of protecting children requires little explanation and forms the justificatory basis for child protection interventions, it is important to remember that care-experienced mothers were once children ent…

Judging parental competence
This paper examines the discretionary reasoning of the judiciary in three jurisdictions, England, Germany and Norway, in cases deciding whether a newborn child is safe with her parents or intervention is necessary. Our analysis focuses on one specific dimension of decision makers' exercise of discretion, namely, if and how the strengths and weaknesses of the mother are considered. The data material consists of all decisions concerning care orders…
Family Life for Children in State Care
This paper examines what set of familial circumstances allow for the justifiable interference with the right to respect for family life under Article 8, echr . We analyse all the Courts’ judgments on adoptions from care to find out what the Court means by a “family unit” and the “child ́s best interest”. Our analysis show that the status and respect of the child’s de facto family life is changing. This resonates with a view that children do not o…
The Ethics of Medical Data Donation
This book presents an ethical approach to utilizing personal medical data. It features essays that examine the re-use of medical data of the deceased on a voluntary basis. Topics include the ethics of data donation, the legal and regulatory challenges, and the current and future collaborations
