You know how in some cultures they wobble the head from side to side to indicate yes, instead of nodding like we do? It's that kind of thing. In these tests they show faces and ask the parents what emotion the face is showing. Eyebrows up indicates surprised to us, but in Greenland that means yes. So they score low on emotional iq.
I should state I have skin in this game. I'm a sw in Denmark but I've never worked in children and families, so my knowledge is limited to what I learned on my course 10 years ago, and what I've heard in podcasts, read in the SW magazine.
Kvisten is an organisation that works with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. They gave a presentation at my work not so long ago. Here are their stats for survivors:
Denmark 3%
Færøerne 10 %
Greenland 33%
Every case is different. Some people break the cycle. Others do not. But statistically those who were abused are more likely to abuse.
Did the Danish government do horrible things in Greenland? Yes. The spinal campaign was horrific. Taking children away to Denmark to civilise them did a lot of harm. Does that mean we shouldn't intervene?
From reading the article in the OP i reckon the whole case is going to rest on the definition of who is Greenlandic enough to use other forms of assessment. And I haven't read the new law or that particular section, so I won't comment more on it.
