Russian family reunited by Polish court decision after fleeing Sweden

A Russian father, who fled with his three daughters to Poland, going against Swedish social services which put the children in a Muslim foster family, finally received justice as a Polish court allowed the girls to stay with him.

On Wednesday a Polish court decision, ruling that Swedish social services had violated an EU convention that forbids placing children in foreign cultural environments, ended a forced separation of a father and his daughters who are 12, 6 and 4 years old.

Denis Lisov, who came to Sweden seven years ago, learned that social services decided to take away his three daughters and place them in a Muslim foster family after his wife was admitted to a hospital with mental illness. The services decided that Denis, who wasn’t officially employed at the time, couldn’t take proper care of the girls.

Though Lisov's family formally retained custody of the children, the father only had the right to see them six hours a week.

According to his lawyer, the family was given no opportunities to defend their rights and the girls didn’t want to stay in a foster family. One of the main problems was that the children came from a Christian family and found it difficult to abide by the rules of the Muslim household.

After a year apart Denis Lisov took desperate measures to leave Sweden for Russia with his daughters. However, the family was stopped in Warsaw by Polish authorities as Sweden reported the girls missing. Through the intervention of Russian diplomats and lawyers, the children were not sent back to Sweden, and the case was handed to the courts.

“The children have a very strong bond with the father, and when I talked to them they told me that they want to stay with him,” Judge Janeta Seliga-Kaczmarek said, as quoted by Swedish media. The court also decided that the father had to stay in Poland until his refugee status was granted.

The case has received a lot of attention in all three countries. Polish Interior Minister Joachim Brudziński praised the ruling tweeting “The Court decided that the children should stay with their father. Well done the police and the border police.”

In Russia, children’s ombudswoman Anna Kuznetsova thanked her Polish counterpart for the attention to the matter and promised assistance to the Lisov family.

Swedish Family Authorities are so progressive.
Look at us, we place three Christian children in a Muslim household.

Congratulations to the Polish Authorities.

I wonder if it was supposed to be an experiment or a payback for the Battle of Poltava.

The EU can't be blamed for that nonsense at least.

Swedish social services had violated an EU convention that forbids placing children in foreign cultural environments

This is not the EU, it's Eurovision Land.

Russian citizen Denis Lisov (R) and his daughter Sofia (L) in the District Court in Warsaw, Poland, 03 April 2019. Polish border guards detained Russian citizen Denis Lisov and his three children, whom he earlier took from a foster family in Sweden. The family was detained in a Warsaw airport on 03 April while trying to board an Aeroflot flight to Moscow. Sweden put the children on an international wanted list.



The Lisovs family moved to Sweden from Khabarovsk in 2012. When Lisov's wife became gravely ill and was hospitalized in 2014, the family attracted the attention of Swedish juvenile welfare authorities, media reported. In 2017, the children were taken from their father and handed over to a foster family of a Lebanese origin. EPA-EFE/Pawel Supernak POLAND OUT

Denis Lisov and his three daughters are planning to return to Russia. Girls were temporarily cared by a Lebanese family while their mother was in hospital. Denis Lisov is not deprived of his parental rights but the children were taken away from him by the Swedish authorities, which clearly mishandled the case because their mother is a mental case and foreigner.

“We have planned several negotiations on how to shorten the time frame for the preparation of all the necessary documents. A person who wants to return to Russia is now in the territory of another state with children. It is very important that both full medical assistance and educational services are provided so that children are not taken care of somehow from this process,” Anna Kuznetsova, Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of the Russian Federation, said.

That guy probably lost custody because he's an unemployed alcoholic who beats his kids on a regular basis.

But hey, at least the kids don't have Muslim foster parents, what could be worse than that.

Ombudswoman? Ffs.

I am pretty sure that the Swedish Authorities did not consider that Muslim foster family as a foreign cultural environment if they had Swedish citizenship.

That guy probably lost custody because he's an unemployed alcoholic who beats his kids on a regular basis.

You made all that up by yourself ?
I cannot find anything like that in this article or in other articles on that same subject.

Here is another article on it:

Christian Dad Flees Sweden with Daughters Placed in Muslim Foster Care, Claims Asylum in Poland
A Russian father and his three daughters are seeking asylum in Poland after he fled Sweden with them when they were placed in foster care with a Muslim family.

Denis Lisov’s daughters. 12-year-old Sofia, six-year-old Serafina, and four-year-old Alisa, were placed into the Swedish foster care system after his wife’s mental state had greatly deteriorated due to schizophrenia, with a court sending them to live with a Lebanese Muslim family in 2017.

Mr Lisov took exception to the fact that the girls, who are all Christian, were placed in a Muslim home, but also that they were taken 186 miles away from where he lived and he was only allowed to see them six hours a week, Polish broadcaster Polsat reports.
Earlier this week, Lisov and his daughters arrived in Warsaw and were taken into police care after it was found that the three girls had been reported as missing in Sweden.

Swedish authorities offered to take the girls back to Sweden but police did not release them. The next day, Lisov applied for asylum along with his daughters and Polish judge Żaneta Seliga-Kaczmarek ruled that the girls could stay in Poland with their father.

“The court can not issue minor children outside the territory of the Republic of Poland, where they entered under the care of their father,” the judge said.
“After hearing the minors and in the absence of a document confirming limitation of the rights of the father, the court decided that bearing in mind the broadly-understood well-being of minors, they should be left under the care of their father,” the judge added.

“Speaking to me, they indicated that they want to be with their dad, love their dad, and do not want to part with him,” she added.

Bartosz Lewandowski, the lawyer for Lisov and his family, slammed Swedish authorities after a man shouted something in Swedish to the girls before they gave their testimony to the judge. “This shows how the Swedish services manipulate children,” he said.

The case echoes a similar situation in the United Kingdom in which a five-year-old Christian girl was placed into care with an allegedly hardline Muslim family, despite protests from her family.

It was alleged that the girl was forced to remove her crucifix necklace and that Arabic, which she did not understand, was spoken around her frequently.

As you can read in the article, the Swedish Authorities even sent someone to the court proceeding to try and influence the children.
Noice !

Well it's a stereotype about Russians. Clearly you judge the foster family based on stereotypes about Muslims.

I cannot find anything like that in this article or in other articles on that same subject.

Of course not. Child Protective Services are not allowed to make such information public.
