The Baby Aria Case – The Cruelty and Madness of Norways CPS

Aria’s mother Vibeke, was accused of having no “personal life” and was said to be dominated by Ken and not able to care for their daughter Aria. Norway’s Child Welfare System decided for Aria to be adopted when she was just one month old, leaving Ken-Joar and Vibeke with no legal rights as parents for their daughter.

All accusations against Vibeke and Ken Joar have proven to be completely false, and many professionals can vouch for their good parenting skills. Also, several psychologists, social workers, NCWS’s employees, family therapists, physicians, journalists and even the head of department at NCWS find Ken Joar to be reformed and not a threat to anyone.

According to both Solveig Horne, Minister of Children and Equality and Mari Trommald, Director of Children, Youth and Family Affairs, they guarantee that no baby is taken from their parents without a thorough assessment.

In baby Aria’s case, no such assessment took place before putting Aria up for adoption. Solveig Horne also guarantees, that taking a child into care is only temporary, and that all measures will be taken to reunite the child with its biological family.

This sadly, just does not happen in Norway and has certainly not happened in Aria’s case. NCWS didn’t even offer the family any help, no guidance, not even a home visit.

There has been no effort from NCWS in trying to bring Aria back home where she belongs, even though every visitation is perfect and in addition the parents have been seeking counselling, even though there are no mental health problems, no drugs, no violence and they have a very stable home.

Now, NCWS is concerned that Ken Joar is fighting for his daughter on social media, and thereby, they conclude, he is not able to cooperate with them. In addition, Aria (now two years of age) is said to be attached to the foster carers.

In Norway’s Child Welfare System, the biological bond is no longer considered to be important. Aria’s loss is the greatest and an inhumane crime against her, and her loving and caring parents Ken Joar and Vibeke.

As Aria grows up with paid carers, she does not get the opportunity to wake up with her playful, smart and protective father Ken Joar, every morning.

Aria also doesn’t have the joy of being put to bed by her sensitive, wise and beautiful mother Vibeke every evening. Not having the enjoyment of seeing her loving parents together, and knowing she was the result of their love is truly a sad tragedy, a cruel act and a violation of both Aria and her parent’s basic human rights.

Please pray for a very quick reunification of this wonderful family and for Aria and her caring and loving parents Ken Joar and Vibeke. They need our prayers.Aria’s story:

In 2016 Australian SBS Dataline reported on Norway´s stolen children

In 2016, the BBC also reported on the abusive behaviour by Norway’s CWS

In 2016, French TV Arte reported on how Norway’s CWS is tearing able and caring families apart

FoxNews also reported on the ‘gung-ho child snatching’ culture in Norway:

This Notice of Concern, addressed to the Norwegian Minister of The Department for Children, Equality and Inclusion, has been signed by more than 200 Norwegian professionals; about. 30 Psychologists, 50 Lawyers, a number GP’s and other Health Workers including Child Welfare Officers, Expert Witnesses and University Professors:

Gro Hillestad Thune is a Norwegian attorney and expert on Human Rights and was a member of the European Commission of Human Rights from 1982 to 1998. She commented:

”We see several examples which demonstrate how Norway’s CWS, Barnevernet has developed an authoritarian and closed system that exposes vulnerable children and families to abuse by the authorities. We also hear of parents whose children have additional health challenges, such as Asperger, Tourette’s and ADHD, are too often not met with support or respect for their difficult parental tasks, but instead have their children taken away and are deprived of their parental rights.”

Marianne Haslev Skånland, Professor Emeritus, Bergen, Norway, suggests that Barnevernet has never left the ‘dark ages.’ She wrote:

«Norway’s CWS, Barnevernet continue in exactly the same dictatorial style as they have done for several decades. All that is different, is that with ever more money in their hands, Barnevernet extends its actions to even more families; they take more children than before from their parents. They always say, that they and their ‘system’ are altogether different now from what they were in ‘the dark ages.’ The dark ages, however, usually turn out to be around 1990, or 2000, or the years before 2010 or thereabouts.

Around the year 2000, people who saw what was going on in Norway, often said, «Compensation will be paid out for this in 50 or 30 years’ time.» More recently, we may forecast that what Barnevernet is doing now, will be eligible for compensation in 20 years, or even in 10 years, perhaps.»

Norway 2017 – still NOT safe for families.
