Migrants banned from Finnish schools
and daycare centers after multiple child rape cases, By EMMA R. 2/8/19.
The Finnish municipality of Oulu announces that migrants are no longer
allowed to visit schools and daycare centers.
The reason is that parents have complained
about so-called integration visits and
feel worried about their children after the recent rape wave against young
girls.
According to the Finnish
police, the alleged perpetrators are male migrants who have come to the country
in recent years and most of the rape victims are girls under the age of 15.
One
of the places the media has highlighted in connection with the rape wave is the
municipality of Oulu in North Ostrobothnia. In Oulu, the police are
investigating at least ten migrants for serious sexual offenses against girls
as young as ten.
As a
result, parents have complained and expressed concern about how the
municipality can allow the integration project ESIKOTO to continue.
ESIKOTO
is an integration experiment where migrants visit schools and daycare centers
to learn more about society through lessons and study groups. It is also
supposed to promote multiculturalism.
However,
now the municipal leadership chooses to meet the parents’ request and end the integration
project.
Mika
Penttilä, who is responsible for education and culture in the municipality,
confirms that they, together with the organisers of the project have decided
that there will be no more visits.
Recently,
media reports on sexual offenses have also shown new crime statistics in the
municipality of Oulu. Arto Karnaranta, Deputy Chief of Police, explains that
sexual offenses in only one year – between 2017 and 2018, have increased by 20
percent.
