    In April this year, a highly respected Norwegian child psychiatrist was convicted of downloading thousands of images of child pornography. The psychiatrist had been used as an expert, until his arrest, by Norway's controversial child protection system and was involved in decisions about whether children should be removed from their parents. Campaigners in Norway have long accused the system of removing children from their parents without justification and now, despite the serious nature of this man's offence, the authorities are refusing to review the child protection cases he gave evidence in. For Our World, Tim Whewell has been to Norway to try to discover why child protection in one of the world's wealthiest countries appears to be in crisis. This programme video adult themes.

      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.

    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.

    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."

    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.《

    The whole scene with Mr. Hjermann is quite sinister. Interesting that Mr Hjermann first says, "well, sometimes a rotten egg can also do very good and normal things", which is a logically true statement. But then why does he act so surprised about the reporter telling him about the scandal case? First of all, how can he not even be aware of the issue? But why does he "contradict" himself when he just said a couple seconds ago that "rotten eggs" can also do "good things"? His reactions don't seem to be very natural either...

    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.

      @@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 am grateful to BBC for this investigation and bringing it to light. I have red about this problem many stories years ago, from Russian and east European mothers living in Norway, whose children were taken and it seemed to me at the time almost like a conspiration theory. 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.

Do we really have experts in my country, arguing that we cannot uphold the law, as our system will collapse? You know what, I refuse to accept that. Who is this guy anyway?

    I disagree with this report. The links are too weak, and it is misleading, because of the way the narrative is structured
    What you are dealing with is some Norwegian official who over the course of several years has downloaded child porn. We are not provided with this reason, or any details of the trial. Although the individual was convicted. 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. And there is no direct causal link between his involvement in the judgements, and errors with an over-nannying Norwegian child protection system in general.

I think these folks are missing the point: it’s wrong whether similar cases occur in other societies or not. BBC never says it only happens in Norway; it never says such evils do not occur in the UK or elsewhere. It’s simply reporting on what’s happening in Norway.

    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 NOT an expert on anything even though he claims to be a psychology-expert. 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.
    Next time, do some background research!!!
    Things like this should be the first you guys check out before introducing someone as trustworthy on TV!

There are companies that give consultancy and support to the kids, these companies take lots of money from the system, commission on return. Families that adopt get 70000 euro from the system.

      From Oslo Norway, yes. As a society, Norway is insanely conformative, even more than Japan. This results in too low a level of government checking. As for the claim that we are doing something _"nonsensically wrong"_ , what do you refer to? You need to understand that the cases covered in this story, are hardly covered at all. Sure, they might be covered correctly, and no, there is no real coverage to base any such statement on, for each of these cases. With the one exception of claiming Herman of being overly biased: That sounds highly unlikely. But, as should be clearly understood by know, I am flat out embarrassed of Norwegians and their understanding of the need for due process.
      Then there is this insane dude at the end, claiming that since people consuming child pornography is not documented to wide scale abuse of their own children, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. Just a positivist without proper understanding, of which he is not confronted at all. (in the full version)
      Rune Fardal is also a highly controversial character. That is not even given in this piece. Some of his publications seem to lack any genuine compassion or empathy. Some of the claims he has presented over the years, include defending wildly a case, in which a father ends up with the horrific accusations from his kids, but without any trace, what so ever, that he is affected by the situation of his kids. It was just about the dad, and how "horribly" he was treated. He also claimed to be a psychologist for years, with absolutely no diploma. The list is long. He can still make valid points form time to time. Some of his work of late, is really not that bad at all, but still tend to fairly one sided.

      This documentary is very weak on details. You seem to claim knowledge, of things you simply do not know at all. You simply assume, and even your assumptions, are poorly based on any reality. That being said, the use of psychiatrists as defacto judges in these cases, is highly contested in Norway. The principle of need of stimulation, well I am skeptical of that as well, particularly as this is put in the hands of a profession, that put very little emphasis, if any, on love. There is also a tendency to not understand the limits of the knowledge they use, and sometimes, the usage appears done in malice. Say for this documentary, they conclude way beyond any observation could ever support, about the moms cooking. Obviously stating something as a fact, and not disclosing the insanely weak bases for this, in real life. That is, if the moms account of the story, is true.
      I did watch one of Rune Fardal latest videos CZcams today. At first it seemed OK, but after listening a bit closer, anyone in their right mind, would realize that he is even more dangerous than he used to be. He simply should not be given a podium.

    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.

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.

      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. 🙄

      @@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.

      Are you a fucking lunatic? You do realize that this “social help” often involves abusing kids far worse than what the state claims the parents are doing? Norway needs to be overthrown.

      The Muslim religion allows for child rape, as exemplified by their pedo prophet. That's a difference.

      Oh please!!!! We have seen how “ God respecting” societies deal with women and children!! Massive abuse, violence, beating, rape and death that will never come up to surface due to strict religious laws basically reaping off every right for a woman or a child to protect themselves or be protected!!
