Greenlandic woman wins case against Danish authorities who removed her two-hour-old child

Keira Alexandra Kronvold’s daughter was taken from her after she was subjected to parental competence psychometric tests

tA Greenlandic woman whose newborn baby was forcibly removed by Danish authorities as a result of controversial parenting competency tests has won a landmark case in the high court ruling that their actions were illegal.

Keira Alexandra Kronvold’s daughter Zammi was taken away from her when she was two hours old and placed in foster care in November 2024 after Kronvold was subjected to so-called FKU (parental competence) psychometric tests. At the time she was told that the test was to see if she was “civilised enough”.
