Genetic (DNA) testing is being carried out within the framework of
family reunion procedures under the Belgian law of 15 December 1980.
This law is primarily about those who can have access to the territory,
residence, settlement and, of course, the expulsion of foreign nationals
from Belgium.
This law had been inactive for a very long time,
then suddenly it resurfaced, when the authorities strongly brought it
into force. The question is, why parents who want their children to join
them in Belgium should undergo a compulsory DNA test, to find out if
they are truly parents of the claimed children?
In fact many of
the children brought to Belgium are not the children of those who
claimed to be their parents. On many occasions, the children are forced
into prostitution on arrival. If they refuse they are threatened with
violence and possible death. I covered a story of an alleged mother who
forced her “daughter” into prostitution to recover the money she spent
on bringing her to Europe.
The Belgium Police Force knows everything about Africans, because some of them talk too much.
When the girl refused to pay the money, it became warfare between the
two parties. Eventually, the mentally and physically tormented girl
went to the police to tell them that: “She has been forced into
prostitution. That woman is not my real mother.”
With hundreds of
such cases reaching the police daily, it is not surprising that parents
and children are now compulsory subjected to DNA tests and the plan has
worked out very well for the Belgian authorities. Since the DNA test
came into force, the number of children brought from Africa to Belgium
has decreased considerably.
Investigations revealed that some
applicants bringing their children to Belgium, suddenly abandoned the
children's passports at the Belgium Embassy in Ivory Coast, even though
the visa fees had been fully paid. Unexpectedly, the DNA test request
has hit them so hard that they are nowhere to be found.
