Nadia\u2019s first encounter with Norway\u2019s Child Welfare System, barnevernet, was when she was 13 years old. Nadia was forcefully removed from school, separated from her siblings, put into an institution, which sadly didn\u2019t help her but in fact, made her teenage years far worse.
\n\u201eI have never received any real help from the child welfare system in Norway, they have destroyed my life and we have never met again as a whole family ever since,\u201d says Nadia.
\nSeveral years later, in her late twenties, Nadia gave birth to a baby boy called Caspian (Dec 2015). And what Nadia feared most was soon to be realized. Barnevernet approached her again and threatened to take her baby away from her unless she would be willing to submit herself together with Caspian, into a mother\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not Norwegian you might think that this is a place where mothers and their children are being properly cared for. But many Norwegians and international observers call these places \u201cHorror homes for mothers\u201d. These are the institutions where mothers and their babies are being observed and tested under stressful situations. For example, does the mother have sufficient eye contact with her baby? This is also a place with no privacy because of 24\/7 Video surveillance.
\nNadia was forced to stay in two of these mother\u2019s homes even though the child welfare\u2019s decision was not based on any legal ground. The people responsible in barnevernet didn\u2019t have the authority from a judge which would have authorized them to put Nadia into such a place.
\nBut sadly, Nadia didn\u2019t know this \u2013 she was so afraid of losing her son forever, because of her own experience.
\nIn May 2016, Nadia and Caspian left the mother\u2019s home and found refuge at Margaret and Dag Hennum\u2019s home. Margaret is a pediatric nurse and all her life she has been professionally working with Children. She lovingly observed Nadia and wrote reports which showed that Nadia is a loving and capable mother.
\nA few weeks later, on June 13th the unimaginable happened: Case workers, along with five policemen stormed the house and in true 1930\u2019s Nazi or former DDR Stasi style, removed little Caspian from his bed where he was sleeping peacefully. And once again there were no legal grounds for this cold and calculated operation.
\nNo court orders were shown, no arrest warrants. The policemen actually admitted to Margaret that they don\u2019t really understand the situation themselves and that they\u2019re only following orders.
\nThe next few weeks Nadia lived in constant fear of permanently losing her son. She had occasional visitation rights and a lawyer started to work on her case.
\nThis particular case caused a lot of awareness on social media and within a short time Nadia and Caspian became well known around the world. It doesn\u2019t happen very often in Norway that Children are returned, when they have been unfairly taken, but with the help of a lawyer and through international pressure, with both prayer and social media activities, Nadia won her case. On 12 Sept 2016, Caspian finally came home to mummy.
\nIn this same month, Nadia participated at the \u201cSave the Children\u201d symposium in Vienna. Check out this Video of Nadia and Margaret sharing details of the case:<\/p>\n

(Nadia and Caspian are featured at the very beginning and at approx. the 9 minute mark.)<\/p>\n

\nThis may sound like a happy ending, but unfortunately it\u2019s not. Norway\u2019s child welfare never apologized to Nadia and now, a year later, they\u2019re making life very difficult for them again.
\nPart two continues the story of Nadia and Caspian\u2019s fight for freedom.
\n\u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013
\nFor those of you who read many updates here about the story of the young Norwegian Mother, Nadia, who successfully fought the \u201cChild Protection Services\u201d (NCWS) of her own country to rightfully raise her son, these two posts condense the story and explain the continued harassment she receives to this very day. For those who didn\u2019t read the updates, you will find the behavior of a \u201cfirst world\u201d country described in this report shocking. I have kept up with Nadia\u2019s situation and have thought more than once about asking her if I could write another update. Her case has become very well known. The reports are written by a Christian man who lives in Austria who has worked tirelessly to help publicize stories like Nadia\u2019s. I am grateful that he has allowed me to republish his articles here.<\/p>\n
