Firstly, get informed. Read about the case, watch the documentary provided by the Romanian National Broadcasting Company TVR (above). Check out our Timeline of Events page, where we have mapped out every single important piece of information about the case: how it happened, what has been done so far, where we are now.
Secondly, let others know about this case. Information is key, especially when fighting a culture of silence, which has been the approach of the Finnish authorities regarding their deeply unethical and illegal actions. Making people aware that this case and hundreds of thousands of similar ones are happening in the Nordic countries is essential to breaking an unhealthy vicious cycle. You can read the official state apology coming from the former Minister of Family Affairs and Social Services in Finland, Juha Rehula, to all the mistreated and affected children who have been tortured by the Finnish child protection services over the decades.
Thirdly, and most importantly, get active. Go to our Join the Cause page, and find out what you can do to help. We’re collecting signatures for the biggest petition that was ever signed for Mihai and Maria, we are talking to politicians, organizing protests, donating to the Smicală family and more.
Your contribution is getting us one step closer to ending this nightmare for the Smicală-Jalaskoski family.
