Moscow, May 18, Interfax - Finnish social workers warned Rimma Salonen at her last meeting with her son that she was not entitled to pray together with Anton, cross herself or talk to him about religion.
"The boy may meet his mother only twice a month for two hours in a child care institution. They are both put under surveillance. They used to pray before meals. But now they are not allowed to do that, the boy's cross given as a present by his mother was taken away from him, and she is not allowed to give him a new one," Johan Beckman, a representative of Rimma Salonen, told Interfax.
Moreover, municipal authorities of Kokemaki have confirmed the decision that the boy should not speak Russian.
In 2008, after divorcing Finn Paavo Salonen, Russian subject Rimma Salonen took their 5-year old son Anton to the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Several people, including the boy's father, kidnapped the child from Rimma on April 12, 2009. With the help of a Finnish general consulate official in Petersburg, the child was driven from Russia in a boot of the diplomatic car.
