Norway's Silent Scandal - BBC Newsnight

[@ionedream777]

It's all about the money. They receive over 50000 calls per year and take more th 10000 children away per year. The children are "helped, get support, etc" from companies hired by the system for high rates, commission on return. The system gives 70000eur to the family that adopt, so they may adopt for money-it"s possible. The issues is that the system gets lots of money if they have action, cases, if not, they can create it or help to increase the number. Sick system, all about the money.

Thank you for your understanding. Norway is place to live and enjoy. There are social care systems for children in other countries an example in the UK why aren't people complaining about it? Because the government understand immigrants cultures and backgrounds. Yes their is a need for barnevernet I Norway as it is in all other western countries but not to a level where you are forcing foreign background Norwegian families to leave a place where they have grown up and spent most of their lives in. Not to a level where families are divided on small matters such as why are you not eating fish or cheese or why can't you speak Norwegian. It takes time to learn Norwegian and barnevernet has to understand that parent are also promoting their own language and culture to their children which they have fully right to. We Norwegians are saying that we are multi cultural society but do we understand other people societies and cultures in first place? Sadly I have to say that we don't have a clue about other cultures and approaches.

If Norway can't see that the damage caused to children from being spanked is TINY compared to the damage done by being RIPPED AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS, then they are bonkers. It would make much more sense -- and cost WAY less money -- to work WITH parents. If you think the kids are being spanked (which I'm not in favour of personally but it's light years away from being ABUSED), then give the parents a warning and maybe send them to parenting classes or something. Taking children away from capable loving parents does HUGE damage. Much more than some "smacking."

[@TheSupercargo]

The day after the BBC broadcast this report, an article appeard in Norway's Dagbladet newspaper. The article was written by Reidar Hjermann, the psychologist and former Children's Ombudsman who is interviewed in the BBC's film. He's the man who co-authored the positive report in support of Ines and who only in this interview learns that one of the officials who dismissed his report as biased was later sentenced for posession of child pornography. In the article, Reidar Hjermann criticises the Norwegian Minister of Children and Equality Linda Hofstad Helleland for refusing to make a statement to the BBC. He writes her a statement she could have given. Here's a translation. "Without saying anything about the specific cases you refer to, I can say that child welfare is the most important, but also one of the most complicated aid systems we have for children and families in Norway. Because child welfare officers work with people in highly complex and conflicting cases, things will sometimes be done thar we later see were wrong. It is in the nature of the subject. And though we try to avoid them, we must be prepared for mistakes to be made. Therefore, in all these cases, we must turn every stone to see what could have been done differently, so that we get a child welfare system that is all the time in development. A child welfare system that further ensures Norway is the world's best and safest place to live in for children." 》Uten at jeg kan si noe om de konkrete sakene du viser til kan jeg si at Barnevernet er det viktigste, men også et av de mest kompliserte hjelpesystemene vi har for barn og familier i Norge. Fordi dette er mennesker som jobber med mennesker i svært komplekse og konfliktfylte saker, vil det av og til gjøres ting vi i ettertid ser ble feil. Det ligger i fagets natur, og vi må til en viss grad forvente at avvik skjer. Derfor må vi i alle disse sakene snu hver stein for å se hva som kunne vært gjort annerledes, slik at vi får et barnevern som er i utvikling hele tiden, et barnevern som ytterligere styrker Norge som verdens beste og tryggeste and å bo i for barn.《 www.dagbladet.no/kultur/dette-burde-du-sagt-til-bbc-helleland/70077806

For exemple if there was not a fruit juice in the fridge at the moment the control services open it, that would mean that you deprive you child from vitamins...and you are not a good parent. But the stories were so painful that i searched more information and find out that yes, where there is a smoke there is a fire... What was interesting in the stories was also where the children go after they are taken. What kind of foster families... This is probably another case. Very sad for the rich societies.

The main problem in Norway is that persons in child welfare have not been personally tested. Many of them have more symptoms of severe personality disorder. They are totally dysfunctional, have no methodological competence, often no personal characteristics - plus - many of them even have a personality disordered parent or have lived with mother alone. The education is parrot subjects - they memorize books and mean that they see and understand everything. In Norway, we look for people with serious "psychological" features in the criminal record - and of course they are not - they are projicant and manipulative and get away from it.

[@tobby1able]

@@toralm6974 sorry you are wrong, I have not personally been accused by the child protection cervices but been a support person in some cases. and I sit back with this feeling... What is very frightening is that the Norwegian Child Protection Agency is not an institution for the child's best interests, but an institution that gets paid for how many cases they open and how long they last, in addition they get paid even better if they get to take over care. - The child welfare agency's interpretations have greater value than the police, and hospital or other professional personnel's assessments. - No documentation from other agencies, either public or private, will be attached to the case file if this does not speak in favor of the child protection agency. - They manipulate the "victim" into believing that they need a psychological assessment in the hope of finding something they can use against the "victim", even if this is taken out of context, just to create a negative image of the "victim". I have seen several cases where there have been demonstrably incorrect interpretations from the child protection system which are not emphasized because the child protection system has a different opinion. This is therefore not documented in the case file. This is horribly reminiscent of the tater persecution in Norway up until the 80s and 90s. The same type of "helpers" only now a different type of "victim". This is an agency that works on the basis that opinions, gossip and rumor-mongering are more important than hard facts from doctors, psychologists, police or other professionals. This has ended up in an extreme witch-hunt due to the fact that the child protection agency MUST prepare cases for and receive sufficient payment from the state. My experience from several cases where I have been involved as a support person for the "victim" has not changed, even though I thought it would be possible to see some sunny stories the times I have been involved. What I see are "interrogation methods" and manipulation that would have been punishable if the police had done this. These are methods and reporting systematisation that are reminiscent of regimes where it applies and indicate neighbours, pupils, colleagues and other people in the immediate environment in search of a new "victim" and questioning which Norway so nicely says we do not support. So why is this then legal in child protection?? I use the description "victim" since that is what this poor person is, who has become entangled in the poisonous cobweb of child protection. We have to stop and calling this child protection, because they don't protect children, they protect their jobs and their income, unfortunately. these are people with way to little education and way to much power...

I find it extremely funny and strange that you guys in the BBC actually trust the words of and use Rune Fardal in this documentary without checking his background and credencials.

He is a former floating dock-salesman who went through a messy divorce and read some books about narcisissm to use in his court-battle with his ex-wife. He now thinks he's an expert on psychology even though he has no degree from any university at all. He is also a conspiracy-theorist who thinks 9-11 was an inside job, that the massacre at Utøya in Norway was staged by the government and basically everything in society is a conspiracy against the people. Anyone disagreeing with him he will "diagnose" as a narcisisst, since that is his favourite word! He is also convicted of cyberbullying, amongst others people working for Barnevernet in Norway. His partner in this fight against Barnevernet is Marius Reikerås, another nutjob ex-lawyer who lost his license to practice law when he was convicted of fraud against his elderly client and some other stuff that I don't remember at the moment. These two nobodies are the ones who has started the crusade against Barnevernet in Norway because Fardal lost custody to his own children in court with the help of Barnevernet.

While this is obviously very worrying, and most probably means he should not hold that role, does not necessarily justify the Newsnight implying more serious assumptions.

Maybe she didn't need any help. After one case when a child was taken away from a mother from Czech Republic, even the Czech President mercilessly attacked this state-sponsored kidnapping comparing it to "Lebensborn"

[@heekimsang]

Surely they wouldn't take them away for no reason, there must have been something more. How can an expert determine emotional neglect? It must have been a long running saga. Strange it seems some facts are omitted

[@ollierkul]

heekimsang Yep. Taking kids away from parents is a radical reaction meant to only be used in bad cases of child abuse, which has a set definition of being either physical harm or failing to care for the childs needs (food, clothes, safe enviorment etc.)

[@lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr2559]

In one case, it was because the child was 1lb underweight! He was passed from foster family to foster family, and his name was changed least true. This case alone shows that neither the Norwegian agency nor the Norwegian State has the best interests of children at heart.

[@petermelville5980]

EXperts at what?

[@christa9985]

I meant to say they took away a child that was one pound I repeat one lb underweight this is how sick these Norway welfare departments are 400 offices welfare offices and only 5 million people live there something's wrong something's wrong somebody needs to do something

[@issemxfi]

Clearly the one rotten apple, needs to be held accountable for his crimes.The system needs to review all the cases he participated in, moreover the vetting of employees needs to be taken to a superior level, where their homes, computers etc.. are closely checked before hiring and randomly and frequently checked during their service in the system. The system is not perfect and can/should/will be improved for sure.

They tried giving me my ex husband's unborn child. I didn't know what to do if I said no the child wasn't born or mine and shipped to the states I know I would have protected the child but didn't want anything to do with my Ex but I said no! Omg it's just awful what's happening in Norway it's awful. Yet my ex can't stand children and he was deported for assaulting me and my child and he got away with it with his newest ex and child and now has another child whose disability is serious and I have been told when he's left alone with him he smacks him around. He's been reported and they didn't do anything Yet they take the good children from good parents. This is awful all parents fear this agency 😢. It's awful absolutely 💯 awful. Strengthen no way it's worsen

[@upadhyayrathiraj1518]

Illogical! How can a child live better in foster care than with own biological parents?

[@Olvee]

It’s really easy to criticize an organization which is unable to give their side of the story due to confidiality. In my opinion there are more cases were children weren’t taken away soon enough, than cases where children were taken away unnecessarily. The bar is extremely high when it comes to removing children from parents. Taking testemonies from parents at face value, without any insight in the reasoning in their cases is just tabloid/bad journalism. Sure, some «grey area» cases exist, but the fact is that we take our children very seriously. Having children is not a human right and more people should consider if they should really procreate.

[@alexandraarnesen3585]

EINHERJAR you are wrong! They can take your child for the smallest reason! The problem is that they take away children that did not need 2 be taken away, and they dont do shitt with the ones that need 2 be taken away

... Screw that, I'd love to get taken away as a kid. A lot of households are secretly abusive, and "normal" parents can be terribly emotionally neglectful. Rejecting offers of social help is like a big red flag.

[@mwinchester66]

In foster care you get raped and emotionally neglected. Foster homes usually have tons of children. All they do is feed you and clothe you. They wouldn't care about your sensibilities. 🙄

[@Olivia-W]

@@mwinchester66 ... I have a feeling you're talking about a specific other country. One- in some countries, partially in the one I feel you may be implying, many issues stem from the fact biological parents are given tremendous rights to children, as if they _own_ them, and even if the child is doing far better in foster care they often get returned to their not ready and still abusive parents. Two- in some countries, again in the one I feel may be implied, the system is underfunded. Case workers do not get paid nearly enough, and there is too few of them to handle the multitude of situations. Three- in some countries it just doesn't exist or doesn't work at all.

[@JAKOB1977]

Stuff like this will sadly happen from time to time.. its how you react as a society there is vital... you need to make it transparent and honest even if it hurts.. but sadly many of these welfare states in Scandinavia where the state is the head boss an there are so many interests down the chain.. they all pamper each other.. its not like it's corrupt as its not like its dirty black money there are being handed around it just so tangled of interests.. I come from Denmark often classified as the worlds least corrupt nation and been it for many decades..but here we also see this almost fact-resistant nature in some parts of the systems. and it's like this system have an agreement with a very leftist media power, there simply don't inform or simply turn a blank eye when it comes to some factors. In some cases its so insane creepy that you wouldn't believe it. not least facts about immigration or even religious aspects.. here a good part of the media is simply immune and you can often feel some media chiefs in power there have a personal political agenda in what they wanna deliver to the public and that's a huge problem for a democracy when people with vital media-power dissect the daily facts to fit an own political agenda. Shocking to see how little rights parents have' when it comes to the system and this child-pornography expert still carries more weight. and shocking that the system destroys families on close to no reason and I'm gobsmacked that while doing this the system don't removes this child pornography dudes own 2 adopted children. (no we don't wanna remove these two adopted children from this convicted child pornography dude, they are in a safe home and it doesn't matter if the dudes in the last 20 years have been doing child pornography in insane amounts. wicked and mindblowing psynic standard from a modern system, particularly when you have in mind the lacking reason they have removed these parents kids on in the video above.

Was Rotherham England's Silent Scandal ? The inability to find justice is very similar. Is it related to welfare state effect where the government takes over parental responsibility? Is it related to the willingness of Norwegians to have irrational, unquestioning faith in bureaucracy?
