(signing with utter weariness....) There are few places, if any, in the world where 6 year olds are criminalised for anything.
I sometimes wish Uo1 that rather than spout in the manner of a Daily Mail leader writer you might actually read some of the items you quote as reference. If you had bothered to read the article you reference above, you would have realised it refutes the allegations that any Scandinavian country practiced forced sterilisation above and beyond the levels seen in other western European countries (including the UK) in the period 1934-1976. You are also clearly ignorant of the debate in the UK in the 70s and early 80s regarding the forced injection of the drug Depo Provera to far more girls and women than covered by all the Scandinavian countries combined. Moreover the article equates the practice of sterilisation with the same misguided health initiaitives that popularised lobotomy to cure mental shortcomings over the same time period. Nothing that any nation should be proud of, but a widespread practice that was scarcely restricted to Scandinavia.
Please in future stick to something you know about (now why do I find that thought amusing......)!!

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
