Karl Dahl - a little boy denied empathy towards his father

The now 14 year old boy Karl Dahl is a hero. He is a not a troubled teen, but just a boy who used some of his time caring for his father who lost one of his legs.

Although the Danish law allows public funded wheelchairs the city did rather want to remove the boy into foster care where he would face an uncertain future.

The public reacted with an outcry and a wheelchair was delivered to the father so the son could focus on his schooling.

It was two years ago. The department of social services did held held a grudge and waited until the newspapers found other stories to write about. So now they are out hunting for the boy again.

This boy doesn't drink alcohol.
He doesn't do drugs.
His fault is that he cares for his next of kind.

It is a crime in Denmark and for his actions he now have to languishing in foster care until he becomes adult and can be reunited with his father if he is a alive at that time.
